Joan - I'm so excited to hear from you - I have been posting for a couple of years, and this is the 1st response I have had concerning the Winter line.
My only knowledge of the Winter line was through letters that Christopher W. (grandson of John & Hepsibah) wrotefrom VT to his sister Diana Winter Eager, my grt-grt-grandmother, in the 1850's. Diana had married Wm Eager and was living in upper NY state.Fortunately Diana saved letters, including those written by her husband & sons during the Civil War.They got passed down to her granddtr (my grandmother) who passed them down to me.
Also part of a letter in 1859 - from a cousin to Diana, telling news of all of the family remaining in VT.From the bits & pieces that I had, traced backward on the internet to John Winter & Hepsibah Cooper.
John & Hep. had son Nathaniel who married Betsey Townsend (and then Betsey Wentworth)."My" Christopher was the son of Nathaniel Winter & Betsey Townsend.
Very interested in pooling info with you!
Janet
