Jacob Wink Sr was born in Leiden Holland nowadays the Netherlands. His father was indeed Sebastian born 1700 in Leiden Holland and died and that is true 1806. Jacobs grandfather was Isaac born in 1675.

Jacob is in my family blood line and the Wink family which is original spelled as Winck are from Germany. I have found the Winck ancestors back to the medieval times.

The Winks are a part of my Hart family. I have Sebastin Wink from Holland as Jacobs Father. No dates and no other info. There was an unconfirmed family history that many had a Elizabeth Rohannele (a Delaware Indian) as Jacobs wife. But no supportive records to say she was. Have you heard this story ? Thank you, Tim Wentz-644
