 Adam and Nancy Winters are my 3G grandparents. I notice you do not have their oldest son, my 2G grandfather in your list of their children. William S. (I'm guessing Sigler) Winters was born 8 Jan 1825 in Allegany Co., MD and died 4 Jan 1891 in Des Moines, Polk, IA. He served in the Civil War in the Iowa 15th Regiment, Infantry, Company C, fought near Vicksburg, was captured in the seige of Atlanta and held as a POW in Andersonville between January and December 1864. He married Louisa Thomas on 4 Feb 1849 and my G grandfather, John Thomas Winters, was born in April 1849. He also served in the Civil War as a young teenager. His bio says they moved back to Ohio when he was about a year old and I see William & Louisa in the 1850 census, but son John is not mentioned. By 1860, William had moved to central Iowa (Mahaska and Jasper counties) where he was a carpenter, later farmed and was a merchant. After retirement, they moved to Des Moines and lived with one of their daughters. Back to his middle name..... my grandfather's middle name was Sigler, so I took a giant leap and guessed he was named for his grandfather's middle name and then another leap that William was named after his maternal grandfather, William Sigler.
