• Notes

  From Roger William Harris, who has done extensive research on the descendants of Abraham Winger - Born Rapho Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In the spring of 1800 when he was seven, his parents and her parents and three siblings undertook the six week journey with all of their belongings to Ontario, Canada. In the war of 1812, Abraham was 19. He would have been drawn into the war except for the efforts of Bishop John Winger who petitioned the British to give exception to the Tunkers. He married Catherine Troup, born 1795 in 1816. On May 22, 1824 he purchased 104 ¼ acres and 20 perches from his brother-in-law Benjamin Troup for £200. It consisted of part of lot 16 in the 9th & 10th concession of Bertie and part of lot 23 in Willoughby Twp. Abraham died from ingesting Salt Petre, mistaken for Epson Salts he wished to take for indigestion. His children were raised by their uncle Benjamin Troup and his wife Magdalina. No record of what happened to his wife Catherine.
