Winslow owned land in Waterford in 1817. In 1828 he moved his young family to Charleston, Vermont, where he built them a home. He was active in the community, serving as a town selectman and a member of the school board. They were excommunicated from the Congregationalist Church in 1835 for joining the Mormon Church in 1832. Olive was healed through a blessing and many people joined the church because of this incident. Their home became a missionary rendezvous. They left in the spring of 1837 for Kirtland, Ohio. They followed the saints as they faced persecution in Missouri and Haun's Mill, and finally Nauvoo. Winslow was sealed to his wife and four additional women in the Nauvoo Temple, although there are no records indicating that he lived with them or had children by them. In June 1846, Winslow and family settled in Cutler's Park near Winter Quarters, Nebraska, where he served in the town council. The family stayed there while Winslow served a mission to the Eastern States from 1847 to 1849. Upon their arrival with the first saints in the Valley, they settled for a time in the 16th and 17th wards and then in Big Cottonwood Canyon where he had a large farm. He died at the age of 71 having served the community and the church all his adult life. Children: John, b. 14 Dec 1817. Infant. Aaron, b. 31 Oct 1818. d. 18 Nov 1903. Lorin, b. 27 Jul 1820.
