History of Daviess County, Kentucky, Inter-State Publishing Co., Chicago, 1883. Reprinted by McDowell Publications, Utica, KY, 1980. p. 629. JOSEPH F. WINKLER, born in Knottsville Precinct, June 6, 1841, is a son of William Winkler, a resident of this precinct. He was reared on a farm and early learned the science of farming, and having put his knowledge into practice has developed into a model farmer. He owns 158 acres of good land. He also owns and runs a horse mill, the burrs of which are the oldest in the county, having been brought from Evansville in a row-boat by William Mason, before Owensboro was platted. His father used them many years, and they still do good work, Mr. Winkler doing his own grinding and much custom work for his neighbors. He enlisted in the late war, in Company E, Twelfth Kentucky Cavalry, U. S. A.; was in forty-two raids and skirmishes. A part of his company helped capture Jeff. Davis. December, 1859, he married Amanda Medcalf, daughter of Edward Medcalf. Six children have been born to them, five now living--Elizabeth E., William E., Emma O., Thomas E. and Mary E. Mr. Winkler has been a member of the Mt. Zion Cumberland Presbyterian Church twenty-five years. Winkler Mason Davis Medcalf = none http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/daviess/winkler.jf.txt
