Samuel Winter was the third son and fifth child of Christopher Winter (1752-1823) originally of Berks County, Pennsylvania, a Veteran of the Revolutionary War, and a lead member of the Dutch Forks Settlement in Donegal Township, Washington County, in Western Pennsylvania. Samuel was born at the Dutch Forks Settlement. Samuel's wife Catherine Revenaugh came from another nearby Dutch Forks Settlement family whose progenitor was Casper Revenaugh (1730-1803), an immigrant from Alsace-Lorraine, France.
Samuel and wife Catherine Revenaugh moved multiple times, leaving Donegal Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania and moving, in the 1830's, to Hancock County, Virginia as well as Maryland in between.
