PREFACE

This book focuses on the descendants of the author’s oldest proven Wininger ancestor, Andrew Wininger (31). The Wininger family intermarried extensively with the author’s Shelton, Pace, Harper and Messer lines that are included in other books.  These books include over 200 intermarriages between these lines.  In fact, most of the descendants of the John Shelton, Sr. and William Pace, Sr. that are found in the “Shelton Family History” and “Pace Shelton History” are also descendants of Andrew Wininger (31) by intermarriage.  Below shows how these three major lines, the Shelton, Pace and Wininger lines, are related to the authors:

William Pace, Sr. (14)         David Wininger, Sr. (32)

      married               married

    Mary ______                     Martha Potter

William Pace, Jr      married      Elizabeth Wininger

               Martha Pace

                   married

             William Shelton (1.5)

Little is known about other Wininger related lines of the authors, however, a short section is included on the Potter line.  The author’s Wininger ancestor, David Wininger (32), married Martha Potter, daughter of Solomon Potter (51).

The authors of this book are experienced genealogists and have previously published four family histories.  Robert Casey and his father, Harold Casey, published “Casey Family History” in 1980 and “Shelton, Pace and Wininger Familes” in 1988.  Robert and his mother, Bernice (Brooks) Casey, published “Brooks Family History” in 1982 and “Olliff Family History” in 1992.  Bernice and Robert Casey are currently compiling “Bryan Family History.”  Robert and his wife, Diane (Thede) Casey, are also compiling “Thede, Aubil and Garver Families.”  The Casey family has compiled over 55,000 “cousins” so far in their research.

This is the second edition of the “Wininger Family History.”  “Shelton, Wininger and Pace Families” which was published in 1988 was the first edition that included information on three major lines, Shelton, Pace and Wininger.  The authors will continue to compile additional information as it becomes available.  It is highly recommended that anyone wishing to preserve their Wininger family history write the authors and contribute any information in their possession.  We are specially interested in copies of older photographs, family history recorded in Family Bibles, existing family history sketches, genealogical correspondence which contains a significant quantity of information, letters and diaries written prior to 1900, older legal documents, census records as well as recent additions to your families.

Additional information is greatly appreciated and will be included in future editions or updates of this book.  Much information received by the authors on our family history has been copied and revised several times prior to its inclusion in our manuscript.  The authors have learned from experience that copying and interpreting usually results is less accurate information.  Additionally, primary sources of valuable information as well as critical information are lost in this process.  If a large amount of information is derived from another person or existing written material, then please send the name and address of the source or Xerox the existing material.  The authors can not under emphasize the need and usefulness of original source material.

Information has been obtained from many sources and references are listed with each family sketch to aid future research on the lines contained in this book.  Much of the history of the Wininger family is incomplete and some may be incorrect.  The authors wish to apologize to those cousins whose information on their line is briefly covered or contains errors.  There are many of our relatives who are interested in adding to our family history but do not know that this book has been published.  Additional names and addresses of other interested family historians are very difficult to find without your help.
