Hello,
I may have some family history you would be interested in. Recently my sister and I have taken over tracing our mothers family tree. Her name was Betty Anne Winch, Ehlers, 1931-1992, her father was Paul Winch, (who is still living at the age of 101) and his father and mother were James R. Winch and Cora A. Herrick. This info we got from our mother's notes. Today we were at the Nashville Cemetary in Martin County Minnesota and found they're grave sites, James R. Winch was born in 1865 and died in 1940. Cora A. Winch was born in 1870 and died in 1950. Cora A.'s maiden name was Herrick and her father was Orrin S. Herrick born Jan 30th, 1842 from Piscataquis county, Parkman Maine. Her mothers name was Cordelia Bacon, born Oct. 21, 1844 from Mount Morris New York, Livingstone county, and died June 13, 1914. There was another stone next to James and Cora's we believe to be their son, but will have to do some checking but here is the name on it: Orrin J. Winch 1896-1981. We think Orrin for her father and the J. could stand for James??
We also Found James R. Winchs brother Albert Winch born 1841, died Feb. 10th 1887 and his wife Hattie Winch born 1848 and died 1927.
Another brother George H. Winch Born 1873 died 1963, married to Mamie C. ( we don't know the last name, born 1880-1964.
We also found variety of other Winch's also, listed below:
Anna Winch Wife of O.E. Winch ( but no stone was found for him) Born May 3,1876, died Jan. 30 1911.
James Winch 3 days old JUne 28 1903.
Alice Winch 10 days old sept. 22, 1905 ( both these names were on the same stone)
We believe them to be a brother and sister of our grandfather Paul Winch.
Doris Leona Daughter of Lee H. and H.L. Winch born May 2, died May 3, 1914.
Possibly another bother of Paul, but no stone for them was found.
Bert W. Winch 1892-1960 Wife Emma B. Winch 1897-1955, Marvel Winch 1920-1932.
(all on one stone) Another brother of Paul.
Preston Jay Winch Cpl US Army Korea Mar 31, 1930-Jan. 22,1999.
Eugenia "Jean" Winch 1931- , Berten "Bertie" Winch 1928-1992 Children, Dale and Bruce Winch.

Paul Winch 1901- ( my granfather) Eva Winch, Masters, 1912-1991 ( my grandmother)
( on another note of interest Paul and Everette married sisters )
