I am not related to these people, just entering information I hope will be helpful. From the book "The Pioneers of Madison and Hancock Counties, Indiana" by Samuel Harden, 1895, reprinted, 1990:
"Quincy Van Winkle, born on Fall Creek, Adams Township, Maidison Co., Indiana. Son the the late James Van Winkle who came quite early to that locality, but since 1852 has resided in the city of Anderson, where young Van Winkle went to school...He was married to a lady in Indanapolis by the name of Annie Allison, who was born in that city, and they have their residence there."
"James Van Winkle, the father of Quincy, was born in Preble County, Ohio, in 1809, and was married to Cassandra Prigg, daughter of Judge William Prigg, an early settler on Fall Creek, and at one time Associate Judge of Madison County, Indiana. Mrs. Van winkle was born near Dayton Ohio, in the year 1813, and soon after marriage she and Mr. Van Winkle came to Madison County, about the year 1834. Seven children were born to them, four dead and three living; W.W. Van Winkle, born in 1837, of Summitville, Indiana; Mrs Elizabeth Young, of Alexandria, Indiana; and the subject of this sketch." (Quincy)
There is further information in the book on these people.
