    • A Winter family history states that Frederick came alone to the USA in June 1842, settled in Wapello Township, Louisa County, Iowa, and in the same year married his second wife, Wilhelmine.
           There is, however, some indication that events may have transpired differently. A Frederick and Wilhelmine Winter appear on the passenger manifest of the ship Clementine, which departed Bremen and arrived in Baltimore on 3 October 1842.
           Census records seem to indicate that Frederick and Wilhelmine lived for some time in Warren County, Missouri, where they started a family, and may not have moved to Iowa until about 1854.
