Life
In 1850, at age 23, Peter Winne can be found working for a farmer, Henry H. Mallory, and his wife Ellen in Berne.[11] Also living with the family was a teenager named Phebe M. Decker.[11] Just a year or so after that census Peter and Phebe married, and they quickly began a family. In 1865, while Peter was serving in the Civil War, his wife and children were living in a frame house in Berne valued at just $100.[4] Peter, who was still in the army, was recorded as a farmer.[4] Five years later in 1870, they had moved to New Scotland where Peter was still working as a farm laborer and they owned a house.[6] By 1880 Peter and his family were back in Berne living with the family of Patrick Shay.[5] Peter and his eldest living son William were working as farmers.[5] This census recorded that Peter could not read or write..[5]
Death
Peter Winne died on February 18, 1885 and was buried at the Reidsville Cemetery in Reidsville.[1]
Post Script
After his death, his wife Phebe was recorded in the 1890 US Veterans Cenus as his widow.[10] That census recorded that she had moved to Clarksville, New Scotland, Albany Co, NY and was living with Abraham B. Decker, who also was a Civil War veteran.[10] His wife Phebe bought the residence of Abram Van Deusen in Clarksville in October of 1893 for $1460, which for the remainder of her life she would rent part of.[8][7][12] Phebe died on January 17, 1917 and was buried with her husband at Reidsville Cemetery.[1]
