Ted Winters

Calling All
Maryland Winters
Researchers

Maryland Winters researchers, can you please help Robin Slater in her quest to

find *Any* of her Great Uncle John's photo's and possessions that, per his

request, were auctioned off when he died? Being in the military at that time,

they would not let her take any time to go to his funeral or anything, so she is now

trying to find some of the photo's that were given to the highest bidder, as well

as Theodore "Ted" Winters, who was in charge of taking care of the details.

She has the details and names below, and she would be most grateful if anyone
reading this knows her genealogy line or, really, can help in any way...

Thank you for taking a minute to read the following...

Hello...

My name is Robin Slater and I am the great-niece of John C. Winters. I do
not have much information at all on my uncle (I called him Uncle John,
even though he was my great uncle) as to his past or his family genealogy.
He lived in Cambridge, Maryland and was married to my great-aunt, Sidney
Louise Todd. Uncle John was born February 11, 1911 (where I am not sure).
He passed away August 18, 1999. I was in the military at the time of his
passing and was not able to come home for the funeral (and the military
didn't consider him to be close enough to be warranted of "immediate
family" in order for me to be dismissed and able to come home for his
funeral). In either case, upon the end of his being ill, and just before
his death, our family found out for the first time that Uncle John had
been previously married and had 2 children from that marriage. I do not
know what his prior wife's name was. I do know they had one daughter
(name unknown, but think it may be Anne or something similar), and one son
(Theodore "Ted" Winters). I do not know what Ted does...but I know he and
his sister are currently living. If I am not mistaken my mother seems to
remember that the daughter is disabled and currently lives somewhere in
Salisbury, Maryland. We are not sure where the son lives, but think it
may be northern Maryland or in Pennsylvania.

I am trying to do research on this family line, and also trying to track
down "Ted" Winters. When my Uncle passed away he asked that all his
belongings be auctioned off. Ted was the one who took care of the
arrangements, and I would like to see if he has any family information or
photos...and/or if he was able to salvage any from my Uncles estate. Also
to find out the auction company he used (they are required by law to keep
a detailed list that is public information as to what was auctioned off
and to whom it was auctioned).

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Even if you do not
know Ted, or even know of him...I would still like any genealogy info you
may have on this line of Winters.

Sincerely,

Robin L. Slater
Essex Juntion, VT

Are there any researchers out there that can help? (Someone in Maryland,

or anyone who worked in an auction house that may remeber this, or knows

the genealogy line....?)

If there is anyone that can help in ANY way, will you please let her know...

Thank you soooo much!
