DESCENDANCY FROM JACOB WINKLER (1688-?)

The Winkler lineage contained on this page is not long as it intermarries and becomes one with the Ratts line in its descendancy to myself. However, I do have information about the others in the Winkler line that branch out from my own main line. Please contact me if you are interested in any of these. I will capitalize my direct ancestors for clarity purposes, and will list the spouses ONLY for the direct line. There are years listed for the birth and death and no dates for the living descendants. Much of the data that I possess on this line is in the form of wills, deeds, etc. So please contact me for those.
