Son of Charles W. Guinnup (1809-1863) and Frances "Fanny" (Street) Guinnup (1807-1860). Husband of Ellen M.E. (Weber) Guinnup (1849-1920). Married 1876. Father of Roy Herschel Guinnup, Sr. (1878-1927), Charles Henry Guinnup (1879-1921), Julia F. Guinnup (1881-1941), and John Ose Guinnup (1882-1947). Step-father to Reuben Harvey Smith (1874-1962); and, foster father to Joseph S. Hall (1867-1948). See Memorial #28696793 for Joseph S. Hall (with links to ancestors & descendants).
James E/J Guinnup was probably born in Rush County, Indiana. Between 1850 and 1860, he migrated to Harrison Township, Delaware County, Indiana with his father and at least three of his brothers. On February 23, 1860, James married Martha Barnes (date from his bible). Sometime after the death of James' father in 1863, but before 1870, James and Martha moved to Pleasant Township, Wabash County, following the lead of James' sister Betsy and her husband some years earlier. Some time between 1867 and 1870, James and Martha take Joseph S. Hall into their household as a foster son. In January of 1876, Martha dies. In November, 1876, James weds neighboring widow Ellen M.E. Weber. James and Ellen combine households, with Ellen bringing her young son, Reuben Harvey Smith (1874-1962) into the home with James and Joseph. Starting with the birth of Roy Herschel Guinnup in March of 1878, James and Ellen proceed to have three sons and a daughter.
James was a farmer all his life and was apparently very generous. For example, not only did he take on parenting responsibilities before starting a natural family of his own, but in 1880 we find that his younger widower brother, Milton, then working for a railroad, is living with James and Ellen.
He and Ellen are mentioned in the short biography of Erhart Weber, Ellen's brother, published in the 1914 History of Wabash County, Indiana. James is a grandson of "Dutch" John Gwinnup (1783-1873) and Theodocia Norcross (Abt 1789 -1867). John and Theodocia were both born in New Jersey, but were married in about 1805 in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio, and later migrated to Richland Township, Rush County, Indiana. In about 1800, John's father, George Gwinnup (1754-1840) and his wife Margaret Jane Simpson (1767-1857), along with several of their children, moved from Morris County, New Jersey via Lancaster, Pennsylvania, heading to Hamilton County, Ohio (Cincinnati Area) to claim his revolutionary war bounty land grant. As a Sergeant in the "New Jersey Line" (1778-1783), George was awarded 100 acres in the Ohio Territory as well as a pension. George died in Carthage, Mill Creek Township, Hamilton County, Ohio.
James was literate, as is evidenced by his witness signature, rather than "mark" on his father's 1860 will and his personal bible. In early records, there is some suggestion that his middle name was John rather than Edward, but apparently by the late nineteenth century he was know within the family and community as James Edward.
Second wife, Ellen, and their children John, Julia, Joseph, and Reuben are also buried in the Laketon Cemetery. Martha Barnes (1842-1876), the first wife of James E. Guinnup is also buried in this cemetery. Son, Roy Herschel Guinnup is buried in the Roann Community Cemetery (IOOF) near Roann, Wabash County, Indiana. And son, Charles H. Guinnup is buried in the Faiview Cemetery south of North Manchester, Chester Township, Wabash County, Indiana.
James' sister Elizabeth Ann (A. K. A. Betsy Ann Guinnup) Tryon (abt. 1834 - aft 1880) and her Husband, Benjamin Franklin Tryon (1829-1880) are buried in the Laketon Cemetery along with some of their children.
James' parents and two brothers are buried in the Thompson Cemetery, Washington Township (near Gaston), Delaware County, Indiana. His paternal great-grandparents (John & Theodocia Gwinnup) are buried in the Salt Creek Cemetery, Rush County, Indiana. The final and precise resting place of John's parents is uncertain at this time.
