Hello Burke List, Thanks for all the offers of help on the Winters family. The only connection I have to the Winters family, that I know of, was a couple of elementary school teachers at Oak Hill. Hope this clears misunderstanding. I am not researching the Winters family. Just replying to a query by [email protected] about a possible Branch/Winters connection. I'm researching POWELL, BRANCH, MICHAELS, SANDERS and connected lines as they come up. I've found connections to WILLIAMS, CONNER, BRITON, ALLMAN, HISE/HICE and others, most all from Burke Co., NC, Sanders and Conner have a SC connection. Regards, Mary Powell Spewachek
