General Notes: Husband - Michael Winsheimer


The founder of the family in America, after locating at Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, he remained only a few years, then he removed to Indiana County, where he bought one hundred acres of woodland at two dollars per acre from the Holland Land Company, and on this tract he "settled," as one of the pioneers of that section. The tract was part of the primeval forest, abounding in immense timbers of various species, and inhabited by bears, deer and other wild animals of the larger type. He lived to be eighty-seven years old, while his wife died at the age of ninety years. Their remains are interred at the Five Point school house, north of the town of Indiana.
