    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. Censuses:
      1830 US: New Jersey, Monmouth County, Dover Township, P.374: George K. Winner, 1 M 20-30, 2 F Under 5, 1 F 15-20. [Probably George, his wife, and Mary Ann and Elizabeth]. Note: Other Winners in NJ census: Abby Winner, Gloucester Co., Egg Harbor Twp., p.198; Isaac Winner, Sussex Co., Green Twp., p.187 [note: there are two Isaacs listed with exactly same info]; Samuel Winner, Burlington Co., Evesham Twp., p.84. Further research needed to reconstruct Winner families in New Jersey. Dover township is now part of Ocean County since 1850.

      1840 US: New Jersey, Monmouth County, Dover Township, FHL film 016518: George K. Winner, Males (Ages: 1@under 5, 3@20-30, 1@30-40), Females (2@Under 5, 1@5-10, 1@10-15, 1@20-30), Four listed as Coastal Sailors. [Supposition: George was one of the "20-30" males and an "Ocean" sailor, the other three were sailing associates or relatives, the boy was Moroni [under 5], George's wife [20-30], Mary or Elizabeth [10-15; but why only 1 listed?], Louisa [5-10], Emmajean and possibly an unknown daughter [2@under 5: this is confusing - was there another unknown girl who died before the Ship Brooklyn sailing thus explaining the large gap of 6 to 7 years in childbirths?].

      1850 US: No record; San Francisco's portion of US Census was lost due to earthquake or fire.

      1852 US: California Statehood Census, Los Angeles County (pre-San Bernardino), p. 143; note this census began June 1852 in this county with county wide results of 7831 total residents of which 2494 were white males and 1597 were white females. It's preface to the state compilation says that only about 5 in every 6 were counted due to the frontier and mobile nature of the population. Note that the second location is last residence.
      George K. Winneo, 46, N.J., Utah, Farmer
      Hanna, 46, N.J., Utah
      Mary Ann, 23, N.J., Utah
      Emojine, 15, N.J., Utah
      Moroni, 10, N.J., Utah
      Israel, 8, N.J., Utah
      Adalade, 7, Cal., Cal.
      This census is important and invites several interesting comments as follows:
      i. Some of the info seems close but suspect and may have been given by a neighbor; they had not lived in Utah, the WINNEO misspelling of WINNER, and the ages vary: Adalades' age would mean she was born in 1845 [unlikely] before arriving in CA in 1846, Moroni's age is at variance to the 1870 census, etc.

      2. Search for 1880 census for California for an "Emma" born 5 years either side of 1837 born in NJ provides one possibility: Emma MacDonald, 45, b. NJ, wife of J.B. MacDonald [50, KY, brick builder], with no birthplaces listed for either J.B or Emma's parents. Two children shown, Belle age 20, and Cordelia age 12. Census is for Marysville, Yuba, CA, p. 399A.

      3. Arrived with her family via the ship Brooklyn in Yerba Buena (San Francisco) 31 Jul 1846. With her family as 1852 pioneers in San Bernardino, California mormon colony.

      4. "Passenger List per Brooklyn from New York, Capt. A.W. Richardson, June 22, 1846," found in Hawaii by Mr. John D. Fretwell, 4012 Maywood Dr. S., Fresno, CA 93703-3330. Copy of original which was folded and contained all names on ship: "Manifest of Passengers on board Ship Brooklyn wharf A.C. Richardson is master... [contains a full listing including the following]
      George K. Winner, United States, 39 years, Coasting Captain.
      Hannah Winner, United States, 37 years.
      Six children."

      5. A reference to the Winners in a publication of the California Historical Society: California Historical Society Quarterly, Vol. 14 (March 1935) pp 58-73, also (June 1935) pp. 175-182: 'A Mormon Mission to California in 1851; From the Diary of Parley Parker Pratt' pp. 72,73,175: 'Sunday 20th. Preached at 11 & 3 in a large room. A goodly number of persons out to hear and good attention. At intermition Baptized Charles Wesley Wandle - & Cyrus Grey, who had fallen into transgression but now came forward, confessing and forsaking their sins. At evening met with the Brethren at the house of Brother Winner. Confirmed the two foregoing persons and called upon the Saints & others to forsake every thing sinful & renew their covenants & help with their prayers, faith, and Means, in the work of God giving the privilege to all that wished to be rebaptized. A number became candidates, Confessing their sins with a determination to reform. Monday 21st. repared to the water and re-baptized eight persons whose names were as follows: George K. Winner, Hanna P. Winner, Richard Knowles, Sarah Knowles, John Phillips, Ruth Morey, Jacob Hayes, Renalder Mory a new member. The same evening met at the house of Brother Winner & organized a Branch of the Church confirming the above named persons in Membership and in all their former standing... July 28. ...Again in the evening at Bro Winner's. The remainder of the week spent chify in writing and instructing numerous inquirers. Sat'y, Aug. 3d. Baptized, in San Francisco Bay, the following persons, Quartus S. Sparks, Mary H. Sparks, Miron Warner, Sarah Warner, Emma Jane Winner. Sunday Aug 4th. Preached twice to an attentive audience, in the Adelphi Theatre. In the evening held meeting at Bro. Winner's. Confirmed those baptized the day previous, and blessed several children... Aug. 19th. Repaired to the water at the North Beach. Rebaptized William Stout and baptized Wm. J. McGehee, Wm. M. Fuller and Moroni Winner. Confirmed them at my residence the same day... Sept. 1st. Elder Geo. K. Winner was then unanimously chosen and set apart to preside over the San Francisco Branch, P.P.Pratt being honorably dischargd from the duties of the same, with the view of a mission to Chile. Fellowship was then withdrawn from Samuel Brannan by a unanimous vote for a general course of unchristianlike conduct, neglect of duty, and for combining with lawless assemblies to commit murder and other crimes.(A reference to the Vigilance Committee of 1851, of which Brannan had been the foremost organizer and first president).)" [This information in the "Diaries" of P.P.Pratt is more detailed than the "Autobiography" book.]
