Family legends::: Winfield came from Vermont with his family to Gilmanton, WI by riverboat "up the Ohio River" (quote from Lucy Stiles, wife of William Stiles, who used to hear Grandpa Stiles (William Lyman Stiles) tell of coming to Wisconsin and Minnesota) to the Mississippi to either La Crosse, WI, or Winona, MN.

:: :: When Win was 10 years old, he moved with his family from Gilmanton, WI, to Pleasant Valley, MN.  They came by oxcart.  Because he was 10 years old, he walked beside the oxcart the whole distance, reserving seating on the oxcart for younger siblings and his mother.
:: :: Win was a stage coach driver where he met his future wife, Ella Jefferson.
:: :: Family legend has it that he met his wife, Ella Jefferson, when he drove the stage.  The Tattersall House was a known stage stop.  (Winfield drove a stage, and his son, Burt, my father, related a story concerning driving this stage.  Dad stated that his father drove whatever the weather, and at one time his hands were frozen to the reins, and when he got to his stage stop, his hands 'had to be pried loose from the reins', to thaw them out.   Winfield's hands were all gnarled from driving stage.)  According to the 1880 census, Ella is living with her Aunt & Uncle, Mr & Mrs.  Perry A. Honeywell, in Minnesota.  They are living in High Forest and he is a hotelkeeper (the only hotel in High Forest at that time is the Tattersall House, so speculation tells us that Perry might be running this hotel, where Ella is helping in the hotel.)
:: :: In 1899, Win was elected (or appointed, not sure which) to be the constable of High Forest.  I am not too sure what the responsibilities of a constable were, but I am sure that Win could handle the pressure of the job.
