WINFREY FAMILY:

There were two families of Winfreys here for the 1840 census. James with a
family of four and Thomas with a family of six. James is the oldest and
quite possibly the father of Thomas.

There are a lot of stories about Brumley, Mo., and who key figures were in
it's beginning. This writer believes that the Winfrey Family was one of
those families. I would love to go back for just one day, and see the
relationship between the Robinetts, Phillips, Ash, Wrights, Winfrey and the
other families, that know matter, how small, were so important. (Another
pair of hands to help build that cabin, barn, gather crops and care for the
sick and their familys).

I would like to attend a wedding performed by Hezekiah Robinett for another
Robinett. I bet someone from every name I just mentioned would be there. To
see the saw-horses with the boards across them, to make tables that would go
the length of the house and around to the side. To see the tablecloths and
the food that everyone had brought, on those tables. Eating it would be all
right too.
