Notes:

    Richard Wynkoop, in the 1904 edition of the Wynkoop Genealogy in the United States of America, has this to say about him on pages 181-182:

    1122. Matthew Bennett Wynkoop, (Gerardus 667, Matthew 373, Gerardus 153, Gerrit 45, Gerret 5, Cornelius 1,) born February 16, 1830, in Zanesville, Ohio: died March 30, 1895, in New York City: married, in 1854, Susie Vincent Hanlin, of Philadelphia, who died December, 1898, in New York. He was a printer, on a large scale, in New York City, member of the firm of Wynkoop, Hallenbeck & Thomas, and of Wynkoop & Hallenbeck.
    He printed the first and second editions of this genealogy; and he struck out, through excess of modesty, part of what the compiler had written about him, which the compiler can not replace.
    Children of Matthew B. and Susie V. Wynkoop:
1557. Madeline May: b. June 29, 1860: d. Aug. 29, 1892, in New York City: married, July 6, 1889, Eugene E. Dewey, who died June 27, 1891. She was shaken in health and strength, while in Italy, with her husband, through Roman fever, and a runaway team.
1558. Lillie Annie Corinne: b. Dec. 21, 1864: d. June 30, 1865.
