Does geni.com have a source for 1853 death of William Van Winkle (ancestor of President Biden).

Question

I created a wikitree profile for William Van Winkle (b. 1782?; d. 1853?), ancestor of President Joe Biden.  However, I am having problems finding a source for his supposed death "before 01 September 1853".  Can someone with an account with geni.com tell me if clicking on that in his geni.com profile gives a source?  https://www.geni.com/people/William-Van-Winkle/6000000173460813916  I have been unable to find him in census records from 1820 to 1850.  I have had much better luck researching his daughter Susan.

I don't have geni.com, but I believe everyone should have access to FamilySearch.org. Here is a link: https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?q.givenName=William&q.surname=Van%20Winkle&q.deathLikePlace=Baltimore%2C%20Maryland%2C%20United%20States&q.spouseGivenName=Catharine&q.spouseSurname=Loudenslager&q.birthLikeDate.from=1780&q.birthLikeDate.to=1784&q.deathLikeDate.from=1851&q.deathLikeDate.to=1855

There are a few documents that may be of some use in developing your profile.

Thank you Lynden.  Yes, that did help me find information on his son Samuel (and I created a wikitree profile for him).  However, there doesn't seem to be anything on familysearch about William's death.

Yes, I know. Unfortunately, I come across that too in other profiles.
