This headstone is hardly legible.
He lived in Rush County, Indiana for a number of years and likely ran a tavern/inn in a small town south of Rushville, before migrating to a farm in Harrison Township, Delaware County, Indiana (near New Corner and modern day Gaston, Indiana) with his family. The migration appears to have occurred most likely between 1850 and 1960. He was married to Frances (Fanny) Street on May 13, 1830 in Rush County, Indiana. They had six children.
In Rush County, the surname was spelled "Gwinnup" like his father and most of his siblings. The spelling change apparently occurred after migrating to Delaware County, Indiana.
Heads-up to those researching Guinnup/Gwinnup records: The spelling of the surname has varied over the course of nearly 3 centuries and Census workers (and subsequent census record interpreters) and military staff have bungled the surname spelling repeatedly - sometimes radically.
