Lawrance {{Surname|Winkler}}, the third emigrant to Green, was the sixth son of Jacob {{Surname|Winkler}}, and was born on the 15th day of January, 1771. in Esecs (''sic'') County, New Jersey. When 15. years of age, he emigrated with his parents to Birk (''sic'') County, North Carolina. In May of 1796, he was married to Fanny {{Surname|Payne}}, a native of Old Virginia. In 1806, after being married about 10 years, he moved with his family from North Carolina to Monogahala (''sic'') County in Western Virginia, where he remained for about 8 years. Now, taking under survey the moderation of his circumstances - the future welfare of his family, and the promise which seemed to await him among the frontiers of the then new State of Ohio, in the Spring of 1814, he took his wife and six young children to his father-in-law, George {{Surname|Payne}}, who then had moved to Pennsylvania. Leaving the family with his father-in-law, he with him took his eldest son and sought his way to Ohio, where he selected the north west quarter of section No. 22 in Green township, for his future home. In the fall of year, he went back to Pennsylvania for his family, then returned with them onto the place where he and his boy during the summer had been labouring for to establish a home in the wilderness. After residing here about 14 years, in 1828, he moved to Chester township, where he lived about 20 years. He died on the 4th day of March in 1848.
