Conradt Winkler [Male] b. 1760 Burke Co., North Carolina - d. 22 MAY 1843 Caldwell Co., North Carolina
CONC
It is not clear at all concerning which Conradt or where this one belongs.
From Mrcie Svatek:
My ggrandmother was LaVina Winkler (b.1876 d. 1938 in Franklin, Texas)
My gggrandfather was Dave F. Winkler (b. 1833 d. 1900 in Texas)
My ggggrandfather was EITHER
D.T. Winkler (b. Germany d. 1856 Wheelock, Texas)
OR
David Tate Winkler (b. 1792 married Lavinia Owens) I know Lavinia Owens was the name of my ggggrandmother.
Then, is it true that my gggggrandfather was Conrad Jr. and his father was Conrad Sr. and his father was Hans? These older names were scribbled down in an old bible that my dad remembered when he was a child, but there wasn't any linkage between them. Also, I heard stories of them sailing across to America. Any help would be appreciated.

CAL'S COLUMN - The Winkler Family
by Calvin Gregory - October 16, 1952
We are leaving off the old records of the County Court of Smith Countyfor the time being and will give this week some family history.
One of the families that once had quite a lot of members here in Tennessee, which is now nearly out of the "picture," is the Winkler group. The oldest member of the family, of whom we have any informa tion, was Ephraim Winkler. He is believed to have married a Miss Sloan. He camel ong years ago from Virginia to the Pleasant Shade section of Smith County, settling on one o f the branches of Peyton's Creek about two milesnortheast of Pleasant Shade. His children were: John Winkler, married first a Piper, but the second wife's name is not known; Arthur, commonly know as "Arter" Winkler, married a Sanderson, daughter of Edward Sanderson; Alfred Winkler , and here our information concerning this manends; Levi Winkler, believed to have married a Hiett; and Samuel Winkler,who settled in the present Macon County, and for whom Winkler' s CrossRoad, a few miles north of Red Boiling Springs, is supposed to have beennamed.
We have information about only two of these five brothers. Arthur and Alfred Winkler. Arthur Winkler and his wife, the former Miss Sanderson, were the parents of : Hardin Winkler, married Elmira Austin; HendersonWinkler, married Barthenia Climer; Scott Winkler, committed suicide as a young man, and we believe unmarried; Andrew Winkler, also a suicide; Wilson Winkler, died as a young man; Joanna Winkler, married Howard Kemp; and Emily Winkler, married Andrew Cartwright.
Alfred Winkler married a Miss Bradley and became the father of thefollowing : Henry Winkler , died as a young Confederate soldier and nevermarried; Martha Winkler, married Jimmie, son o f Milton, son of LittleBill Gregory, a brother of our own great-great-grandfather, JeremiahGr egory; Mary Ann Winkler, married Frank Kemp; Laura Winkler, marriedHenry Gregory, son of Jabe Gregory, a brother of th e Milton Gregoryabove mentioned; Fannie Winkler, married William Smith, son of CalvinSmith, and a brother of the late P. D. (Did ) Smith; Tennie Winkler,marrie d Kinney Kemp; Alice Winkler, married W. H. (Buck) Piper; one otherdaughter whose name is bel ieved to have been Susan Winkler, married aWilliams; John Bell Winkler, married Margaret, a s ister of Henry Gregory;and Wade Alfred Winkler, m arried a Baker.
Martha Winkler and her husband, Jimmie Gregory, were the parents of: JohnGregory, Henry Gregory, living at present in Nashville; Ella, married TomSmith; and Ollie, married Charlie Oldham , son of Tem pleton Oldham. Maryann and her husband, Frank Kemp, were the parents of a son, W alter Kemp;Laura Winkler and her husband, Henry Gregory, were the parents of oneson, Bell Gregory, now living neat Gallatin; Fannie and her husband, William Smith, went to Texas, and w e have no further record.
Tennie Winkler and her husband, Kinney Kemp, were the parents of onedaughter, Maude, who marr ied Howard Gregory, son of another Jabe Gregory,who was the son of Gid (Bethel) Gregory, stil l another br other of the Milton Gregory above mentioned. Alice Winkler and her husband, BuckP iper, had two sons, Willie, who died at four years of age; and D. Henry Piper, who is one of t he leading citizens of Lafayette.
Herbert Winkler, a Church of Christ minister who resides in Nashville, isa distant relative o f the Winklers above mentioned. We believe we havehis line of descent somewhere, but lack o f time forbids our looking it upat present. [contributed by Northernfern: Herbert was a so n of PeytonHerbert Winkler who was the son of Levi C. and Ann Heitt the son of Ephraim and Parthenia Winkler of NC which is established by census andfamily records. Herbert was a contrac tor, author, preacher andelder/shepherd of the church during his near 94 years of life. ]
If any member or relative of the family can give us additionalinformation, we shall be glad t o publish same. We should have added thatboth John Bell and Wade Winkler died without issue.

However, at the hands of ruralschoolmasters and his mother, wh o was the daughter of a p rominentteacher, his education was not neglected. His family move d to Indiana in1835, and there he grew to manhood. When he was not yet nineteen, Winklerdeter mined to move to Texas, and he settled in Franklin, RobertsonCounty, in July 1840. He very so on became involved in frontier life,joining numerous expeditions to track down marauding Indi ans. In 1843 hebecame district clerk pro tem.

At th e expiration of his term of office, Winkler returnedto Corsicana and engaged in the practic e of law throu ghout the nextdecade. After the election of Abraham Lincoln, Winkler and six o therprominent Navarro countians organized the secession movement in thecounty. Winkler then v olunteered for Confederate service and was electedcommander of the Navarro Rifles.

Clinton McKamy Winkler
By: Myra C. Winkler, Daughter
Originally published in "The Navarro County Scroll", 1959
Reprinted with permission of the Navarro County Historical Society
Clinton McKamy Winkler was born in Burke County, North Carolina October19, 1821. His fathe r was David Tate Winkler, a North Carolina farmer whocame to Robinson County, Texas in 1844 . He died in 18 4[?]. Theprogenitor of the family in America was Conrad Winkler, Clinton'sg randfather who came from Germany at an early date, settling in NorthCarolina and remaining th ere the rest of his life, a prosperous farmer.
Clinton's mother was Lavinia Gates Owen, refined and cultured lady,daughter of Harrison Owen , and educator of great merit. Their ancestorscame from England, settling in Virginia; wer e among the for emostfamilies of that region; were loyal to the colonies and assisted greatly in the Revolutionary War for Independence.
Clinton, together with the rest of his father's family, moved to Indianain 1835, but the la d remained there only until 1840, when he came toTexas to be with his uncle Harrison Owen a t Franklin in Ro bertsonCounty. This was truly a frontier settlement and the young manimmedi ately became identified with everything that interested thepeople. The most pressing concer n was hostile Indians.
Only a few days after his arrival, he joined a company of minute men.They came to a place whe re the Indians had massacred a whole family andhad danced around the victims, leaving moccasi n tracks in blood on thecabin floor. Imagine the horror of the sight and the effect upon al l whoobserved! He afterward engaged in several fights against the savagesthroughout the are a of Chambers Creek. Th e Company was under theleadership of Captain Eli Chandler. Later , he accompanied Captain ThomasI. Smith upon a expedition into Johnson County, where one of t heir numberwas killed (Abram Smith). T hey buried him under four feet of earth androde bac k and forth over his grave to obliterate all traces. Thus beganthe youth's services in behal f of Texas.
His first employment at Franklin was that of Deputy County Clerk. Hisevenings were spent i n studying law under that eminent gentleman, CharlesH. Raymond. In 1843, he was appointed c lerk pro tem o f the DistrictCourt, which position he held until he was admitted to the bar , in April,1844, thus receiving his license under the Republic of Texas.
As recounted in the Navarro County Scroll for 1958, in the article aboutEthan Melton, by Alv a Taylor, people were discussing the advisability ofcreating a new county. Several of thes e drew up a pe tition asking thata new county be formed out of Robinson County. C. M. Winkle r was askedto present the petition to the Legislature, he having been elected to theLegislatu re in 1848.
The temporary seat of justice was on Chambers Creek at the residence ofWilliam R. Howe, late r in a portion of Ellis County. The new county wasgiven the name of Navarro in honor of th e famous patrio t, AntonioNavarro. Yielding to Colonel Navarro the honor of naming the new c ountyseat, Corsicana was chosen, the name taken together meaning Navarro theCorsican, Corsic a having been the birthplace of Navarro's father.
When Mr. Winkler, in 1847, came to reside in the new county, he foundonly one family - that o f the Reverend Hampton McKinney - where he madehis home until his marriage to Mrs. Louisa B . Smith, in 18 48. Of thismarriage, three daughters were born: Lavinia, Mary, and Kate. He, together with David K. Mitchell and Thomas I. Smith, surveyed and laidoff the county seat.
After his term in the Legislature expired, he returned to Corsicana andengaged in the practic e of his profession, always maintaining a highstandard of justice.
The first general expression in favor of resistance to federalencroachment occurred at a meet ing on January 14, 1860, upon the adoptionof resolutions signed by C. M. Winkler, William F . Henderson, G . L.Martin, William H. Neblett, Joseph Clayton, Elijah Melton, and J. P.Anders on, the committee.
Now, the shadows of war were gathering.
In 1861 a company of 150 men was organized to join the Confederate Army,with C. M. Winkler a s Captain. This company became a part of the FourthTexas Regiment of Hood's Brigade which re ndered distin guished service inthe battles of Gaines' Mills, Second Manasas, Sharpsburg, Get tysburg,Wilderness, and all the campaigns of General Lee's army. When thecompany surrendere d at Appomattox, they had only 12 muskets left. GeneralLee was high in praise of the Texans.
Mr. Winkler's first promotion was to major and later tolieutenant-colonel. He was actuall y in command of a regiment after theBattle of the Wilderness, and, also after the death of Ge neral Gregg, below Richmond, in October, 1864, in command of a brigade until Col. Bass,his ra nking officer, recovered from a wound.
His first wife having died in 1861, he was married January 7, 1864, toMiss Angelina Virgini a Smith in the City of Richmond, Virginia. Sixchildren were born to this marriage. Clinto n Jr., Walton C. , Tom L.,Beatrice Elizabeth, Harry, and Myra C. Little Harry died in infanc y.
In 1865, after the war had ended, Mr. and Mrs. Winkler came to Texas. Forhim, it was a retur n home; for her, an entirely new experience. If thecontrast in conditions was too striking , nobody ever h eard her say so.Federal troops were stationed in Corsicana and many encounter s betweenthe soldiers and townspeople had to be smoothed away. As continualpeacemaker, Mr. W inkler could be depended u pon, always.
In 1872, he was made chairman of the State Democratic ExecutiveCommittee. His address to th e Democrats of Texas had the ring of truepatriotism. He was a member of the famous Thirteent h Legislatur e whichtook Texas out of the hands of the Radicals.
In 1876 he became a member of the original Court of Appeals, whichpositions he held until hi s death in 1882. The ten volumes of theopinions of the Court tell the story of his industr y and devotion toduty. He died in Austin, May 13, 1882.
Judge Winkler was a charter member of the Masonic Lodge in Corsicana. Heorganized the Bertra nd du Gueslin Commandery of Knights Templar. Wasmade Grand Master, State Masonic Lodge in 18 70. He was Grand CaptainGeneral of Grand Commandery. He took 32nd degree of Scottish RiteMa sonry in April 1882.
Resolutions on the death of Judge Winkler, as contained in records of theCourt and Masonic bo dies, are eloquent in their testimony of their lovefor one who, throughout his life, demonstr ated his lov e for them.
Judge Winkler was a consistent member of the Methodist Church and hisfamily religion was exem plified in their lives.
The organized of Confederate Veterans at Corsicana was named in memory ofColonel Winkler.
