Father Winter
April 22, 1813, they welcomed the advent of another daughter, whom they named Mary Jane.
Mr. Winter had repaired the darn, and the mills were in successful operation, when, on the 7th of May, there was another flood and a break in the dam; and at this time the creek changed its course and the torrent reached the house, undermining it on one side so that they had to make a speedy flight with an infant two weeks old. Besides running the grist mill Mr. Winter engaged in lumbering, and in times of high water, ran rafts of lumber down the Alleghany to Pittsburgh, where he procured bis supplies.
