Winkler family in the Lincoln, or Franklin County, Tennessee area. My great-grandfather was Levie Benton Winkler b.1856 most likely in the Lincoln or Franklin Co. Tn. area. He married Nellie Parlee Sites b. 1853 in DeKalb Co., AL. They are both buried in the Merrimack Cemetery in Huntsville. He d. 1933, She d.1937. They had 5 daughters..Belle, Georgia, Hattie, Ora, Ovie and one son Andrew Porter(my grandfather). I look forward to any information on the Winklers of this area. Thanks so much. Doris Winkler Hobbs
Sites (Sitz) query.(Nellie Parlee Sitz m. Benton Winkler Nov. 7 1879 in Franklin Co., TN).
I have found some info from a relative (not proven just "remembered"). She told me that the children Levie Benton Winkler and Nellie Paralee Sitz were Belle Winkler b. 26 Nov. 1894 in Lena, Tn.; Georgia Winkler b. 8 Oct. 1890 b. in Lexie, Tn.; Hattie Winkler b. 20 Aug 1892 in Lena, TN.; Ora Winkler b. 25 Sep 1895 b. in Lena Tn.; Ovie Winkler b. 11 Aug 1896, in Lexie Tn. This aunt thought that Andrew Porter Winkler was b. 3 Oct. 1884 in Winchester, Tn. I have looked up Lena, Tn. and Lexie, Tn. in my Atlas but do not find either. They must be very small communities. Do you know where they are? I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks again. Doris

In the 1860 Georgia census, I see a Miles A Winkler that is 2 years old. He is the son of Miles A {34 years old} and Warty M Winkler.

I am a descendant of Miles Allen Winkler B. 1826 Burke Co. NC who married Waitsel or Waity Cain. Believe his father was Thomas Winkler b. 1794 in NC and mother was Easter b. 1810 in NC but seeking confirmation and information on Thomas and Easter. I have information on Miles Allen's family. I am interested in whatever you might have. Also, I am very interested in the information on the White County Family History Book.

Thomas and Ester/Easter Winkler. I think there is some connection between Miles Allen Winkler (who married Sarah Jane Findley) and Thomas Winkler. I haven't yet figured out what that connection is. Miles Allen Winkler supposedly died in Ducktown, TN also. I figured that he must have had family there. Does your information branch out at all? Or do you just have info on your direct line?

I know all the names of the children, when they were born,died and who they married, that Thomas and Ester/Easter had and there is no mention of any Miles Allen Winkler or his wife Sarah Jane Findley. At least not to my knowledge. I think you will find that your Miles Allen Winkler is the son of one of Thomas's siblings, which would make him a nephew not a son. The only Winkler that I know of who lived in DuckTown Tn, was the youngest of Thomas and Easter/Ester Winkler's children and that was Caroline Winkler who married John Withrow. Caroline was born in 1854, which I believe was after your Miles Allen Winkler's death. I believe that the parents of Thomas Winkler were Joseph and Catherine Fisher, and they can be found on the census records for either 1850/1860 living close to Thomas and Ester but in separate households and I believe with some of Thomas's siblings. I have not traced or learned how many siblings that Thomas had. There is many, many Winkler's floating around and it is very difficult to tell who belongs to who. June

Thomas and Ester/Easter Winkler were my great great grandparents. They had 12 children, I do not have a Miles Allen Winkler listed for one of their children. My records show that they did not marry until about 1830. Their oldest child was Alexander Winkler b. April 21, 1831 in NC, he married Eva Ferguson in Ga. Thomas Winkler died in White County Ga March 17, 1890, Ester his wife died in Ducktown Tn, where she was visiting/living with their youngest daughter Carolina Winkler Withrow June 18, 1898.

Was wondering, since you're all talking about Winkler's in Tennessee if any of this might right a bell with anyone. I have been told that my great grandmother Cordelia Kilby b. 1866 GA d. 1910 TN had been previously married to a ? Winkler, which would have been prior to 1890. Cordelia m. my great grandfather sometime before 1890 to John Allen Ellis. I'm assuming they were married in Cherokee Co, NC as their first born Fonds Allen Ellis was born in Beaverdam, NC. Cordelia had a son from a previous marriage who's name was Arthur. He went by the Ellis name, but I'm told he was a Winkler. The story is that this Mr. Winkler and Cordelia had 2 children; a son "Arthur" and a daughter who's name I do not know. This Mr. Winkler ran off with the daughter and left Arthur with Cordelia and nobody ever heard from them again. I have pictures of Arthur and he does not look like my Ellis cousins. He was killed in a fight with one of his step-brothers in Coker Creek, TN. I've been trying to find out information on Cordelia and figured if I could make a connection with this so-called Mr. Winkler's family I might find out where she really came from, if in fact she was Indian, and why she ended up in NC and TN. Any help on this Winkler dilemma would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this all seems so con
Anderson J. Winkler married my great grandmother Cordelia (also goes by Lucinda Cordelia; Lucinday Cordelay; Delia and Dulcy) Kilby. They were married on 6 May 1883 in Cherokee Co., NC. I know they had a son Arthur, but there was also a daughter born to this union, before he ran off with the daughter and left Arthur to be raised by his mother Cordelia. Cordelia later married John A. Ellis sometime between 1888-1890 we think in NC, but they raised their family in Tennessee (Monroe Co).

Levi Benton Winkler married Paralee Sitz who was the daughter of Sarah Ellis and Andrew Sitz. They were also from N.C. then Alabama, then Tennessee. Families often travelled together, so it's very possible the Ellis and Winklers you speak of could be related. Doris WInkler Hobbs
George Washington Winkler b. 12-9-1861 in Franklin, TN; m. Otha Bell Spindle abt 1900 in Johnston Co, OK; d. 9-1951 in Johnston Co. If I can be of any help, let me know. - Stacy Linder

After the death of her first husband, Tilly married Ernest W. Winkler; and the couple had two children - Fronie Lucille (Dempsey) & Bessie Gurtrude.

George Marshall Bird was born into the grand southern lifestyle of pre-Civl War Georgian wealth on January 1, 1844, in Crawfordville, Georgia (Taliaferro County), to Dr. George Lee Bird and the former Miss Salina Chivers.
George married Martha S. Clark, daughter of William & Mary Clark, prior to 1870, presumably in or near Walker County, Georgia, where George settled following the close of the Civil War. To this union was born eleven children, only nine of whom survived infancy - John William, Mary Selina (Griffitts), Claude Alexander, Matilda Lane (Bunch/Winkler), George Lee, Eliza Ann, Maude (McPeters), Joseph Clark, and Buford Etheldred.
George and his family left Walker County around 1894, to explore the possiblities of a better life out west; however, the were met with continued unfortune there and decided to return to their native Georgia around the turn of the century. Again, misfortune altered their plans, and they decided to remain in Madison County, settling in the Big Cove Community in 1904.
George Marshall Bird died August 25, 1906, in Big Cove, and was laid to rest in the Campground Cemetery. A tombstone marked "BIRD" marks the graves of Bird and his wife, who followed him in death in 1906. The stone was carved by their son-in-law, Dick McPeters, more than 100 years ago.
