Thanks for sending message.  You have just solved a mysteria for us.  We
have your Nathan Gunnin.  It goes like this:

Nathan Gunnin, b. 8-12-1797, Abbeville District, SC to Benjamin Gunnin
and Jane Gunnin. He died 12-9-1872, at the age of 75 and buried at
Mikesville, Fl.  He married Mary Lites b. 1-5-1821 d. 11-24-1906, at the
age of 85, she is buried with Nathan.  She appears in the 1850 Census
Report in Saluda Reg't, Abbeville, SC, pg 314.

Nathan Gunnin was 48 years old when he married Mary Lites, she was 24.
In the 1850 Census he was given as a Clerk, age 53, with three small
children to support.

Our GUNNIN book is written by Helen  Gunnin Mishasek, she states she
made many attempts to connect Mary Lites to the only family of this name
in Abbeville, SC.  The head of this family was Abraham Lites.  She could
not find a connection between Mary and this family.  She does list the
children of Nathan Gunnin and Mry Lites:
1.  Emma G. Gunnin, b. 3-14-1847, Abbeville
2.  Ann E. Gunnin, b. 6-29-1848, Abbeville d 7-2-1930, Mikesville
Cemetery, she
     married James R. Lites
3.  Mary Leonora Gunnin, b. 4-16-1850, Abbeville d. 5-19-1885,
Tustenuggen
     Cemetery, Columbia Co., Fl. married E. C. Collins jad 7 children
4.  James Henry Bascom Gunnin, b. 1-15-1852, Abbeville, d. 3-18-1914
married
     Sarah Means b. 7-17-1853, Spartanburg d. 4-22-1937 had 6 children.
5.  Mary Rosanna Gunnin, b. 6-13-1853 d. 12-26-1939 buried in Bethel
Cemetery,
     Columbia Co., Fl. married William H.F. Robarts b. 11-25-1848 d.
11-7-1911,
     they had 5 children.
6.  Joseph Gunnin b. 8-13-1856, Pickens, d. 4-21-1876.
7.  Hester Ella Gunnin, b. 1-6-1857, d. 10-23-1897, married Rhett B.
Hunter, they
     had 8 children
8.  Wynona Gertrude Gunnin, b. 3-20-1860, Columbia C. Fl., d. 12-25-1904
buried
     Mikesville Cemetery, Columbia Co., Fl., married Asbury M. Means, b.
1-5-1849,
     d.7-8-1910, they had 8 children

From Helen in book:  I only learned of this group in 1979, and had the
pleasure of meeting Rosa May Collins, wife of Charles Oliver, at a
couple of reunions, but with little chance to ask questions.  Maybe
someone can fill in the gaps for us - HGM

Now maybe the gaps can be filled in.  Can you tell me about the Lites
and any thing else about the Gunnins?  My husband is on down the line,
his name is Emery Aaron Gunnin,Jr.
