Excerpt from A Sketch of the Winters Family IN the following pages we propose to give a sketch, as far as our limited information will permit, of that branch of the Winters family to which we belong, so that our con temporaries, and those of the same name that come after us may learn something of the stock from which they sprang. A lack of family records, running back of the time of the landing of our ancestors on the soil of America, together with the uncertainty attending the date of its occurrence and the reason of it, opens up a vast field for the play of the imagination, the exercise of which might interest the lovers of romance, but could not satisfy the demands of history. In order, then, that we may not become entangled in its byways, nor lost in its labyrinths, we shall put on the bit and the curb and pull ourselves up with a round turn whenever we wander too far.
