My name is Stewart Davenport. I am a great grandson of John Elias and Lena Thalmann. I am a grandson of your Aunt Colleen. I have some info that I know you would like concerning Lena. It pertains to her middle name. It is Veora. I have no idea on James Leroy, however. My mom may know more than I do. I do have a website for many members of the Winegar Family. Most of the members of the site are descendants of John Elias, but we are considering letting others on to our site. I also have the definate story of who came over from Germany. Uldrich Winegar, the person we named the site after, and his family came to America in the 1700's. He and his son Garret or Gerhart helped found Amenia Township in Dutchess County, New York. There is even a monument built to his name there. Is this the story you were talking about. If you would like to join my website, you can email me at [email protected]. You must, however, be able to show that you are a descendant of John Elias. I have an extensive history of the Winegars from Uldrich down, so I can give these to you if you would like. We will have them posted on our site shortly. Thank you for showing an interest, and I am sure that we will be able to help each other out in the future.
