Robinson, was born in Ray County, Mo., May 2, 1830, and lived in his native county but a short time when his parents removed to Clay County in the same State, where they lived four years. From there they removed to Buchanan County, Mo., where Mr. G. lived until 1847, when he entered the Government employ and was engaged in freighting on the plains. He was thus engaged until the spring of 1848, when he entered the United States Army as a private. He enlisted at Middle Cimmaron Springs, N. M., in a company commanded by Lieut. Roy, proceeded as far as Santa Fe, where learning that peace had been declared the company was disbanded. After his discharge from the service Mr. G. returned to Fort Leavenworth where he remained a short time and then went to his home in Missouri, where he lived until 1852, when he removed to Gentry County in the same State, where he resided until the fall of 1860, when he removed to Buchanan County, Mo., where he lived until September, 1861, when he again entered the United States Army as a private in Company H, First Battalion Missouri Militia. He served in this company until the spring of 1862, when he was transferred to Company F, First Regiment Missouri Militia, and was a member of this company until the close of the war. He took part in the battles of Camden Point, Rock House Prairie and other minor engagements and skirmishes. He was severely wounded while in the service from the effects of which he suffers to-day (sic). After his discharge he returned to his home in Buchanan County, Mo., where he resided until the 11th day of March, 1868, when he became a resident of Kansas, locating in Doniphan County, where he resided two years. He then removed to his farm in Irving Township, Brown County, where he has resided since. He is a member of the Church of the United Brethren. Mr. Guinn has been married twice. The first marriage occurred in Gentry County, Mo., in November 1852, to Miss Deborah Culp, a native of Missouri. She died in April, 1862. Four children were the result of this marriage, only one of whom is living and whose name is Isabella Jane (married to George Williams, a native of Kansas and a resident of Washington Township, Brown County). The second marriage took place September 2, 1864, in Buchanan County, Mo., to Miss Hester Arnold, a native of North Carolina. They have four children - Mary E., John Stanton, Phileena A. And William T. Mr. Guinn owns a choice upland farm of eighty acres, all enclosed and all in cultivation. The place is well watered by a number of fine springs and wells and by Roy's Creek which flows across the northeast corner of the farm. There is a good peach orchard on the place which contains 400 trees. The improvements are good and consist of a comfortable framed dwelling, stock stable, granary, corn crib, etc. Mr. G. raises from 200 to 300 bushels of wheat yearly, and 2,000 to 3,000 bushels of corn, keeps 25 to 30 head of stock cattle, 40 to 50 stock hogs and a few horses. He is a veteran of two wars, a thorough and practical farmer and well known for his integrity.
