    [Includes following notes with no sources: "In Dayton, David Winters came to know the William Huffman family through making purchases at their general store. One Sunday the Huffman family attended his service to hear him preach. Afterwards they invited him to their home for dinner. Mrs. Lydia Huffman, a devout Baptist, and he quoted and argued scripture all evening. The next Sunday evening he was again invited for dinner. This time Mrs. Huffman said to him, “I believe you are a good man and a Godly man. I like you and so does my daughter, Mary. You may marry her.” Astonished, David Winters replied, “Mrs. Huffman, I am not in a position to marry your daughter. She has always been accustomed to plenty. I cannot keep her as you have kept her. I have nothing but my prayer book, my Bible, my horse, and a five dollar bill in my pocket.” Mrs. Huffman said to him, “That does not matter. She likes you and I like you. You marry her and I, with ample means, will see that you get a start. After that, you can pay me back when you are able.” David Winters married Mary Ann Huffman on January 11, 1826. Eventually nine children were born to them: David, Elizabeth, Mary Jane, Lydia Ann, Charles, Edward Thomas, William, Emma Virginia, and Flora.

    Even though Rev. Winters is buried at Woodland Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio. David's Cemetery 4600 Mad River Road, Dayton, OH 45429 was named in honor of Rev. David Winters.

    Comedian, Jonathan Winters is a descendant of Rev. and Mrs. Winters."]
