A biosketch of son Peter Winebrenner reported [26]:

Peter Winebrenner, house painter, of Middlebury, Ind. The name of this gentleman bears an excellent reputation for thoroughness and skill as well as for good taste and much artistic ability. He comes of thrifty German stock, for his paternal grandfather came from the Fatherland to America and began tilling the soil in Blair county, Penn. His son, Andrew, father of Peter Winebrenner, was born on his father's farm in Blair county, Penn., August 17, 1818, on which he obtained a practical insight into the details of agriculture, and in the vicinity of which he secured a fair education in the common schools. Upon attaining manhood, April 11, 1836, he was married to Miss Anna Hoover, whose father, David Hoover, was a farmer in Pennsylvania, but afterward, in 1846, became a resident of Noble county, Ind. The union of Mr. and Mrs. Winebrenner resulted in the birth of fourteen children: Martin, David, Henry, Ellen, Levi, Nancy, Peter, Adaline, Celeste, Dona ld, Sarah, Agnes and two that died in childhood. Mr. Winebrenner moved to Noble county, Ind., in 1846, and settled on a tract of wild land, which he converted into a good farm after much hard labor. In 1863 he engaged in the drug business in Ligonier, an occupation he continued for seven years, then settled at Lawrence, Kan. After a short time he moved to southwest Missouri, but later returned to the Hoosier State and took up his residence in Huntington county, where he died in 1888. His career throughout life was marked by industry, and for many years he had been an earnest member of the Christian Church, and all his lifetime, from the time he attained his majority until his earthly career ended, was in sympathy with the Republican party. Five of his sons served in the Union army during the Civil war: Martin, in Company A, David in Company D, Peter in Company D, of the One Hundred and Forty-second Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and Henry in Company C, Eighty-eighth Regiment Volunteer Infantry, of which Levi was also a member. Henry was wounded at Chickamauga and was with Sherman on his march to the sea, and Levi died from the hardships incident to army life in January, 1864.
