Originally, the following information led me to believe Elizabeth may have been the mother of the Henselbekker sonese wo fought in the NJV. It is just as likely she was the wife of one of the brothers, based on her 1742(ish) birthyear. Could she have been Eva? Problems abound, due to the fact that Johannis (Hannes) was father to Johannes, who was father of Coonrad. Where others fit, without having many facts, is difficult to assume. This line also includes all those who "stayed behind" in the mid 1780's when the rest of the clan went to Canada.
NOTE: A sister (or sister-in-law?) of William and his brothers may have been named Elizabeth (she MAY also have been an aunt or step-mother, as I have yet to find anything indicating an actual relationship), as the following "fellow Handspikers" are buried in the Mount Pleasant Cemetery (whether or not William was, is another story).
1. Elizabeth Handspiker - buried 11-Sep-1845 at age 102 (birthyear @1743)
2. Elizabeth R. Handspiker - buried 28-Mar-1863 at age 25 (birthyear @1838)
3. Mary Ann Handspiker - buried 24-Mar-1852 at age 40 (birthyear @1812)
4. Peter Handspiker - buried 14-Jul-1870 at age 83 (birthyear @1797)
[412] Be wary of some confusion between Fanny's marriage to George BANKS, her sister's marriage to George DUNN and their cousin Mary's marriage.

BELIEVE the following family, listed in 1881 Canadian Census for Marshall, Digby County, NS, MAY be the right family:
William WINCHESTER M Male English 77 Nova Scotia Farmer Church of England
Nancy WINCHESTER M Female English 65 Nova Scotia Baptist
Winslow WINCHESTER Male English 73 Nova Scotia Farmer Baptist
Elizabeth WINCHESTER Female English 24 Nova Scotia Baptist
I could find no other family in the Census that could have come close. However, it could be they were new to Canada or at least Nova Scotia, and therefore the above family may just be a close similarity.
