Jane ABNEY

     Jane ABNEY, daughter of Pvt. William ABNEY and Amelia "Milly" GRAVES, was born circa 1797 in Kentucky.¹

Jane Abner (sometimes seen as Abney) married Henry Winkler II in Estill County, Kentucky on February 7, 1813. They settled in Randolph County, Missouri. Henry died there in 1846-1847. Jane was alive in the 1870 census of Randolph County, Missouri, living with her son, John, a widow, and his family. Jane's daughter, Margaret Winkler, was also in the home. In the 1880 census of Macon County, Missouri, Jane was living with her son, Lewis, a widow, and his family. It is not known when Jane Winkler died or where she is buried, but a likely location is Enon Cemetery in Macon County, Missouri. Several of Lewis Winkler's family members are buried there, and it is believed that he, too, is buried at Enon. Another possible location for Jane Winkler's burial is Hickory Grove Cemetery in Monroe County, Missouri, where it is believed her husband, Henry, may be buried as is her son, John, and other Winkler relatives. The Winkler’s lived in eastern Randolph County not far from Hickory Grove Cemetery in western Monroe County.¹

Jane married Henry Winkler II on 7 February 1813 in Estill County, Kentucky. Henry was the son of Henry and Susannah Ross Winkler. Henry and Jane settled in Randolph County, Missouri. He died there before January 5, 1847. His place of burial is unknown. (A likely location is Hickory Grove Cemetery just a mile or two across the line in Monroe County, Missouri. His son, John, and several Winkler relatives are buried there. According to one cemetery official, there is no record of any Winkler's buried there. But a death notice for John in 1901 shows Hickory Grove as the burial place. There seems to be an old section of the cemetery. It is likely the Winkler's are buried there.)¹

Jane ABNEY died after 1880 in Missouri.
