I am researching my family history and it has a path through Carter County. I believe sometime around 1800 Adam Winsell Sr. and Adam Winsell Jr. settled in Carter County. I think Adam Sr. had been a Captain in the revolutionary war in 1777 when living in Loudoun County Virginia where Adam Jr. was born. Adam Jr. served as a Captain in the East Tennessee Militia. He fought at the battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814 under Colonel Allison. He married Sarah Curis while living in Carter County and their first five children were born there from 1811 to 1820. Adam Jr. moved to Indiana sometime between 1820 and 1822 but I believe that Adam Sr. stayed in Carter County for the remainder of his days. I believe he may have passed sometime in the 1830's. I don't know his wifes name but I think she proceeded him in death. I'm hoping to find more info on her and other children they had. Any information regarding my relatives from this era would welcome. (There can be variations of our surname Winsell, Winsel, Wincel, Vincel, Vencil etc.) Thanks in advance for your help, Jeff Winsell My email is jeffyjoe@aol.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
