History of Green County, Wisconsin. Springfield, IL: Union, 1884, p 738

George WINTER was born 12 January 1827 in Suffolk, England, and his parents 
were John and Sarah WINTER. George remained in England until 1854, then 
emigrated to the United States, and first settled in Rock County, Wisconsin. 
In 1855 George WINTER came to Green County, Wisconsin, and purchased sixty 
acres on Section 12, Brooklyn [Brooklyn Township, in the northeast corner of 
Green County], and eighty acres in [adjacent] Rock County. This land was 
entered by A. TUPPER, but Mr. WINTER purchased it of Harvey CHURCH. There 
was some of the land broken, but the improvements were very meager at the 
time. The place is now adorned with a fine residence and good barns. Mr. 
WWINTER now owns 200 acres, and his son, Alfred, owns forty acres. 

In 1855 he [George WINTER] was married to Elizabeth WINTER [a maiden name?], 
also a native of England. They [George and Elizabeth WINTER] have four 
children living: Alfred, Walter, Nellie, and Earnest. Mr. [George] WINTER 
is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
