John Winter, b. England.Delaware County, NY Genealogy and History SiteBIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW8th Section - pages 349 through 397John Winter, was born in England, and there married. After his wife’s death he came to America with three of hischildren, and made his first abode in Bovina. A little later, Mr. Winter took up ninety-six acres in the New KingstonValley, purchasing a squatter’s claim. His tract was uncleared and lay in the midst of dense forest land, where theferocious wild animals had full sway, and the only roads were a few paths cleared through the woods and over themountains by the Indians. To place a family in such a home was a hazardous undertaking, as the howling wolves andbloodthirsty panthers were ready to fall on the hapless settler or his children and devour them. Yet, undaunted, heerected a log cabin for a temporary dwelling, and went to work to hew down the forest trees and clear the thickundergrowth, that the land might be fir for cultivation.The three children who lived on the farm and assisted so materially in this labor were Thomas, Robert and Margaret.Their father died at the age of eighty-two years.According to Lincoln Long, “The Long Papers”, John’s son, Thomas came to America first and settled in NewKingston, NY.
