According to a biography of my g-grandfather, Jacob Polk Winstead, published in 1892, his grandfather, WILLIAM WINSTEAD, was born in Frederick County, VA 28 January, 1792 and died in Washington Townhsip, Pickaway Cty. OH 3 March, 1869. We have no information about William's parents or where the family lived in Frederick Cty. He had moved to Ohio by 1818, since his oldest son, SAMUEL SOUTH WINSTEAD was born in Pickaway Cty, OH, 12 December, 1818. WILLIAM married a CATHERINE VAN HISE. She may have been his second wife, since the birthdate we have (19 February, 1808) would have made her 10 years old at Samuel's birth. William's other children follow (in case family names might help make a connection): Mary A. Winstead, b 25 April, 1820 Martha J. Winstead, b. 12 January, 1822 Louise A. V. Winstead, b. 16 May, 1823 Lucinda J. WInstead, b. 2 December, 1824 William L. Winstead, b. 12 July, 1827 Elizabeth V. Winstead, b. 11 June, 1836 James A. Winstead, b. 22 August, 1838 David B. Winstead, b. 11 Nov., 1842 Barbara E. Winstead, b. 25 May, 1844 Catherine B. Winstead, b. 8 June, 1848 Note the nearly 9 year gap between the births of William L. and Elizabeth V. Winstead. We have no information on any of Samuel S.'s siblings, and my mother and I would be interested in any information on their lines also. The names and dates come from my mother's first cousin, who would also be interested in information.
