Just who exactly was my great- great grandfather, James Winters, and who were his parents? Despite all of my years of research, it’s sad that I know so little about him, except the picture shown in this blog is him in 1877. Yet, this is entirely understandable since he passed away in 1907, almost 60 years before I was born. And are just how are we connected to the Scales? Well, I’ve decided to write a summary of and share it in a simple, readable format. Lets check out the history of the Winters and Scales family.
