Notes:

    Richard Wynkoop, in the 1904 edition of the Wynkoop Genealogy in the United States of America, has this to say about Garret Wynkoop on page 68:


    163. Gerrit Wynkoop (Philip 48, Gerret 5, Cornelius 1), Philip "Winekoop" had a child baptized February 9, 1744, Abington, Pa., but no name recorded: it was this Gerrit.
    Gerrit died in 1822, aged 78 years. He married, March 28, 1793, Nancy Van Horn, Abington church. She died, in 1837, aged 86 years. He was an executor of the will of his father, in 1771.
    Child of Gerrit and Nancy Wynkoop:
400. Margaret: bp. Jan. 16, 1800, Abington church: m. George M. Woodward, of Burlington County, N. J., who died there, in 1850, aged 65. She was living in the same place, in 1868, and had six living children.
