The Gwinns

Conway brought this group of people his father formerly enslaved to Yellow Springs, Ohio, to settle in freedom.  Eliza and Dunmore Gwinn were the patriarchs of the group.  Eliza was mother of 19 children, 9 of whom she brought to Yellow Springs.  The picture is of the Gwinns in later years.
