    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. From the book "A Biographical History of Darke County, Ohio," Evansville, Ind., 1900, p. 233, we find Isaac Winner with a wife Mary Powell, both of New Jersey. "JohnLEOPOld WINNER. Merchant, banker and legislator of Greenville, Ohio, J. P. Winner was born in Franklin, Warren county, Ohio, November 19, 1816. His parents were Isaac and Mary (Powell) Winner, natives of New Jersey. They were married in Philadelphia and in 1816 came to Ohio, where they passed their lives. Mrs. Winner died in April, 1832, and her husband in October, following. For about four years subsequent to his father's death our subject worked at the cooper's trade. In April, 1836, he came to Darke county and located in Greenville, where he extensively identified himself with the business of the community and also held prominent places in the political councils of the county and state. In November, 1837, he married Miss Charlotte Clark, daughter of John Clark, Esq., of Warren county, Ohio. For some five years Mr. Winner was in the grocery business. Eight years he kept a hotel. Four years he kept a drug store. In 1853 he engaged in banking in company with the late Colonel J. W. Frizell; and thus continued till May, 1865, when he became a stockholder in the Farmers National Bank of Greenville, and in January, 1866, he was made cashier of that institution, which position he held until January, 1872. In April, 1873, he opened the Exchange Bank of Greenville and conducted the business of that flourishing institution. His wife died August 12, 1863. She possessed in a high degree those noble qualities of mind and heart so essential to a true wife, and was revered in the community for her sweetness of disposition and sympathizing charity for the poor and unfortunate. She left an only daughter, Hattie, who inherited the sterling qualities of her mother, but the loss of her mother so affected her that she survived her but a few weeks, dying at the age of fifteen years. On April 1, 1867, Mr. Winner married Mrs. Jane Crider, of Greenville, daughter of John W. Porter, of the same place. In 1863 Mr. Winner became a member of the firm of Moore & Winner, which for a long time was one of the leading dry-goods firms of the county. In 1846 he was appointed auditor of Darke county, and from 1857 to 1861 he represented Darke county in the legislature of the state, and from 1867 to 1871 he served in the state senate. In 1874 he was elected mayor of Greenville and served two years. In politics he was a Democrat. Although his school advantages were very meager, his active mind grasped a knowledge of men and things that fully compensated the loss. During the years 1861-63 he was treasurer of the .committee to secure a county fund to encourage enlistments in the Union army and gave the subject much attention. He died several years ago."

      2. Censuses:
      1820 US: Franklin Twp., Warren, Ohio, 7 Aug 1820, p. 11 (bro. Samuel is on p. 7):
      I. Winner, males: 1<10, 2@16-25, 1>45; females: 3<10, 1@26-44.

      1830 US: Franklin, Warren, Ohio, p. 23 (brother Samuel is 3 pages away):
      Isaac Winner, males: 2<5, 1@5-9, 1@10-14, 1@40-49; females: 3<5, 1@5-9, 1@15-19, 1@40-49.

      3. Don Thomas email 24 Jun 2004:
      "On 10 June Samuel Winner of Warren county purchased 80.76 acres of land "west of the Greater Miami" in Montgomery County - that's just north of Franklin - and was patented by BLM. [Samuel is Isaac's supposed brother.]
      On 1 Nov. 1830 Isaac Winner of Waren county purchasd 80.44 acres "West of the Greater Miami" in Montgomery county. I didn't follow up on Samuel, but Isaac died in 1832 and I find no record of this land, nor did I find any record of it being sold prior to his death."
      "In going through the probate papers, deeds, bills of sales, etc. I noticed that Isaac's wife would sign as "Mary" and/or "Catherine." So maybe her name was Mary Catherine Powell. Even on the same document it would be Mary in one place and Catherine in another."

      4. Husband's probate: "Estate of Isaac Winner. OCP 56 #1 - Docket Estate O p.487 - 20 Oct 1832; residence: Franklin; administrators: John L. Haller and Jonathan Mooney. Heirs: dau. Hannah, dau. Mary Ann, son William residing in Warren Co. with uncle Jonathan Winner part of the time in Warren Co. with uncle James Cafferty, dau. Amy lives part of the time with Dr. Evans her guardian in Franklin, OH, dau. Catherine lives with Mrs. Terry in Warren co, son Eden B., dau. Delilah, son George, son John. Note: Isaac & his wife Cathe[r]ine both dead by 15 Feb 1833." [Mary Powell seemed to alternate between the names of Mary and Catherine (see separate note in her notes). The administrator John L. Haller was Isaac's son-in-law married to Hannah Winner.]

      5. It is reported, but I have not verified, that there is an Isaac Powell living a couple of doors from Samuel, William, and John Winner in the 1840 and 1850 censuses. Could he be a relation to Mary Powell? John and William Winner are sons of Isaac and Mary (Powell) Winner and Samuel is son of John and Hester (Mason) Winner.
