Notes:

from cousin Jan Reineking, June 27, 2001

P.S. I was out doing an early morning cemetary search (as its blazing hot here and the mornings are cooler) and came across an interesting stone. It was a small stone across the the top slab (not the face) was the name Elison, on the face it read Wife of J. Winch Jan. 17, 1845, Dec. 23, 1875 I believe this could be James' wife Allison Douglas,
next to it was this stone..
Robert Douglas Dec. 8, 1828, April 16, 1909, Eliza wife Sept. 13, 1829, Ayg. 6, 1912. Could they be her parents? That was the only Winch stone in the whole cemetary. I wonder where James got off to? It was a nice find because I wasn't expecting to find any Winch's there, I was looking for my grandmothers ancestors hehehe.... I'll have to send this tidbit on to June also.

I found it in Basey Cemetary. It is in Martin county Minnesota ( of course) Nashville Township. Its only about 5 miles from the Nashville cemetary where all the other Winches are buried except James Sr. I'm off this morning to look for him.
