Notes:

Robert Winchell is listed on the Windsor, Connecticut Founders Monument. Many online trees have Mary Phelps as his wife. There is no source to support that. Ancient Windsor book and Great Migration Series both have Unknown Unknown for spouse. He does have an association with William Phelps-See Great Migration. In his will he asks Sister Randall (Mary Randall), Abraham Randall and Brother Phelps (no first name given) to be his estates overseers. Possibly there is some relationship between a Phelps and Randall.

Notes from the book "The Winchell Genealogy : the ancestry and children of those born to the Winchell name in America since 1635, with a discussion of the origin and history of the name and the family in England, and notes on the Wincoll family" by Newton N. and Alexander N WInchell in 1917:
The book lists some genealogies and wills of Winchells and WIncolls in England. However, there is no known connection to Robert Winchell. The book concludes that Robert Winchell was probably born in England. There were also some other Winchells and Wincolls in America in the early time period, however Robert was the head of the only family in WIndsor. There is no evidence connecting Robert to any of the others. There is a family story of "3 brothers'. However, the authors believe that to be a myth. There is no known connection between any of those other any Winchells and Wincolls to Robert. End notes from the book.

The Great Migration series of sketches also conclude that Robert's origin is unknown.

All of that being said, there are numerous online trees showing Robert's English ancestry. However, none of them show any evidence other than ancestry trees and find-a-grave entries.
