The Archie Perry and Ruth Gill Winn Family Tree

I was blessed as I can be
When I was born into the Winn family tree
Although Rozier is my last name
My mama was a Winn so this name I claim

Grandpa Winn was a mighty good man
Granny Winn could make some pretty good jam
These two were a loving pair
With their family their love they did share

They had eight fine children born to them
Grandpa had several brothers, one named Jim
Archie Jr., Leo and Jasper were the boys
Irma, Hazel, Mildred, Mary and Ida gave them many joys

From this fine family came many kith and kin
All from the family with the last name Winn
Now they are spread far and wide
One of the son-in-laws is named Clyde

I remember gathering for Thanksgiving day
In Jacksonville, Florida I would eat and play
With all my cousins whom I truly adore
We would walk down to that little store

On Buffalo Avenue sits their little home
Aunt Mil still lives there, Grandpa had a bald dome
The family cemetery, New Home is the place
Many kin are resting there, they have run their final race

One day I hope to see them once more
At that family reunion on that golden shore
Where separations will be in the past
At home with my family at last
