The family papers include genealogy research, correspondence, clippings, photographs, land grants, deeds, wills, diaries and
printed material related to the Gibbs, Wynn/e, Allen, Burns, Chenault, Fisher, and Parker families between 1826-2014. The
Wynne family name has several variations in spelling including Wynne, Wynn, and Winn. In his 1912 article about the Wynn family
reunion, Gus Edwards spells the surname without a final "e." He goes on to write, "In the long ago the family name used to
be spelled with a final 'e,' thus, Wynne, but in later years somehow or other the family began to write simply, W-y-n-n."
The ancestors of Robert Adin Gibbs (1874-1944) and Theola Fisher Parker (1876-1951) encompass the five major family lines
in this collection. The collection also includes an address book, family bible, account book, recipe, receipts, and Civil
War-era letters by various family members including those between Eliza Jane Wynne (1837-1916) and her husband Charles Rollin
Gibbs (1835-1903).
