McKinzy, now the wife of Royal McKinzy; Second Minerva A. Scott, the wife of Frderick H. Scott; Third John H. Winkler; fourth William M.? Winkler; fifth Rachel M. McKinzer, the wife of Adolphs? McKinzer; Sixth Elisabeth Skiner, the wife of John T. Skinner; Seventh Vicy E. Skiner, the wife of John E. Skiner; eight Sarah C. Winkler; ninth Belle S.? Skiner, the wife of Blandamon G. Skiner; James S.? Winkler. Louis also mentions his sister Peggy Jane Winkler. Will was signed by Louis Winkler with his mark on Sept. 6, 1887; will was filed Feb. 14, 1888. Lewis is the son of Henry Winkler II and Jane Winkler Abner from Estill Co., KY. It appears they moved to the Randolph/Macon Co., MO area between 1826-1832. There is quite a lot of info on the Internet about the Winkler ancestry. My database on Lewis' siblings (which includes William M., Henry, John, Margaret, Louisa, and Frances M.) is growing. I'll be happy to share whatever I have. Faith
