WINKLEY, SAMUEL, 1666-1736. He came from Lancashire County, England, about 1680, and settled in Portsmouth, N. H. Later he bought land in Kittery, where he engaged in the ship and boat building business, which he followed all his life and which was continued by his son after his death. Soon after settling in Kittery he married Sarah Trickey, daughter of Francis and Sarah Trickey of Kittery and Portsmouth. His house was on Crooked Lane ; the land about there had been granted to his father-in-law some time before, in 1656. Here Winkley established his shipyard, and it remained in possession of that family for three generations. In his later years he gave to his sons the management of the shipyard and he resided at Portsmouth, where he was engaged in mercantile affairs. He became a very wealthy man.

He died in 1736, leaving an elaborate will, disposing of his large estate. 15 April, 1703, administration was granted to Samuel Winkley on the estate of his wife's mother, Mrs. Sarah Trickey, deceased.
