I wish to bring to the attention of those interested in research of the
Wynkoop Family, of the burial which is located on the original home place 
of Peter Henry Wynkoop. On Monday, August 6, 2001, I had the opportunity to
accompany Mr. Ed Pool, and his son of Bremen, Ohio, to photo document this
single uninscribed memorial stone erected by estimation before 1867. We
traveled south east out of Laurelville on State route 56, turned north on 
Big Pine Rd (tr156), this being near the border of Salt Creek & Perry
Township lines. Just a very short distance past the township road Grin Hollow
(tr211), you turn left or north on Wagner Rd.(tr155), take the first fork in
the road to the right, this is Little Pine Rd.(twp 159), stay on this until
you pass Wynkoop Rd.(tr158), there's a farm house located at the end of
Little Pine, the memorial stone is situated between two wild cherry trees,
just north or behind the vegetable garden in the back yard of this private
property. The resident is not the property owner, but was very kind to talk
to us and allow us to view and photograph the large dressed field stone
memorial. I also found another smaller stone located aproximately 9 feet
directly east of the head stone, I have to presume it to be a foot stone.
This rather large stone contains no inscriptions, the edges are smoothly
tooled in the manner common for the period of mid 1800's. Her husband Peter,
may be buried next to her, it is unclear whether he is laid to rest in nearby
Wynkoop Cemetery.
According to the family record, the home which stands today, is not the
original homestead, but a home built in about 1900 by a grandson Jacob
William Wynkoop. There does exist a deed owned by a family member,
showing and describing an area set off as a family cemetery, stating
it to be kept for the family forever. All the information given to me
pertaining to this burial has been through family history handed down to
each new generation, plus written record mentioned on early property land
deed.
