Joseph, Asher, Russell, George B. - upstate NY-OH-KY-WV
These are some of the family names.
I forget which one married Rebecca Rockwell, whose father Job, fought in the Revolutionary War.
That means this set of Winklers was in the country in upstate NY before the Revolutionary War, then I suspect they came down the Ohio River to Ohio and Kentucky, then back up the Ohio and up the WVa Kanawha River first to Buffalo, WV (Winkler cemetery), then on up the Kanawha to Coal River Road, just outside St. Albans, WVa.
Anything sound familiar.My G-Grandfather George B. Winkler had 2 Civil War Union discharges.One says he was born in Ohio; the other says he was born in KY.
