This biography is not, strictly speaking, that of a Wynkoop family member or descendant, but it did solve a small mystery for me, regarding the identity of the wife of William H. Wynkoop of the infamous Wynkoop-Zell-Kiehl murder case, and also revealed what connected William and the Kiehl family in the first place, so for these reasons I've included it with the other family biographies. Enjoy! Chris
