Rev. J. B. and Jessie (Williams) Winton, both natives of Missouri. Rev. J. B. Winton was born on his fathers farm near Springfield, Mo., and the old homestead is still in the possession of members of the Winton family. The mother was born at Booneville, Mo., but her folks were from Pennsylvania, of German ancestors. Rev. J. B. Winton was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, who came to California in 1883 and held pastorates at Healdsburg, Lakeport, Knights Landing, Plainsburg, and Rockville. His last charge was at Rockville, Madera County, and he was on his way to the mountains for his health when he passed away at Raymond on May 8, 1892, aged forty-two years. There are five children in the family: G. E., a civil engineer residing in Merced; Florence; Gordon Harvey, Anna, now Mrs. Bolton; and Margarita. After her husbands death, Mrs. Winton bought ten acres west of Merced, where the family lived for the next ten years; she still lives in Merced.geni/people/Rev-James-J-B-Winton/6000000024544868491
