Illustrated Historical Atlas of the State of Indiana 1876 by Alfred T. Andreas: Early Settlements

In 1807, a number of families were added to the settlers. Among these were Peter Frakes and William Van Winkle. The former established himself on Big Blue River, near the eastern boundary of the county. The Stroud neighborhood, in 1808 was increased by the accession of John Peckinpaugh, and Jacob and Jonathan Rice and during the same year Malachi Monk settled on Whisky Run, near Big Springs. During these years settlers came into the county more rapidly than quite a number of years following."

William married Mary Ann Peckinpaugh, daughter of John Peckinpaugh and Christina Rice. (Mary Ann Peckinpaugh was born on 29 May 1812 in Ft. Hardin, Breckinridge Co., KY.)
