According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
Abner Winder (John 3, John 2 , Thomas 1), born 14 September 1780 in Bucks County, Pa., moved with his parents from Bucks County to Chester County, and then onward to the Redstone area. He was a member of the group of Quaker pioneers who settled at High Bank, near Chillicothe in Ross County, Ohio in May of 1797. He apparently moved on to Dry Run, six miles above Chillicothe on the Scioto River, in 1802, which was the year in which he married Hope Ballinger, probably in Ross County, Ohio. Hope was the daughter of Joshua and Sarah Jones Ballinger, who were members of the Friends' Society, and had belonged to the Evesham Meeting in Burlington County, N. J. Deeds show that Joshua Ballinger was a resident of Ross County, Ohio no later than July of 1807, and then later moved to Champaign County, Ohio. Stanley E. Ellis, a descendant of Abner Winder and Hope Ballinger, considered the problem of when the Ballingers moved, and whether the marriage of Abner and Hope took place in Ross County. His belief was that the Ballingers had moved to Ohio before the marriage and that the marriage did in fact take place in Ross County. Abner and Hope Ballinger Winder moved to Goshen Meeting in Logan County, Ohio in September of 1837, where they remained for the rest of their lives. Their children, twelve in number, were all born in Ross County, Ohio.

I have a George Winder b. cir. 1865 who married Sarah M. Winger. Sarah's father
was born Greensburgh, PA, lived Venago Co., PA and died Springfield Twp., Mercer Co., PA

There were at least Winders in those parts of PA. I would look in those areas for your Winder ancestors.

In the meantime, we've found Clement and Molly's son, Michael, in Edwards, Mississippi in the 1860 census. Looks like he went down there from Columbus between 1852-1856 and came back in 1860. We think perhaps his first wife, Mary Frize, died in Edwards in childbirth, because Michael marries Elizabeth Hartrum in Columbus in 1864; the two children born in Mississippi show up with Michael and Elizabeth in 1880 census in Ohio. Have you come across anything to do with Mississippi? We're puzzled. The reason we decided to really try to track Michael down is that we were trying to pinpoint who was still left in Columbus to be near Molly when she died in 1864. Now we're wondering if the reason Clement dissappears from Burlington Iowa after 1859 is that he headed down to Mississippi to see Michael.

Dear Ann,
My husband is a descendant of Elijah and Susannah Evans of Shenandoah County, Virginia, through their son, James Evans. This James Evans had a sister, Susannah who married Thomas Winters/Winders in 1800 in Shenandoah County, VA. A third sibling was David Evans who married Nancy Blizzard Smith in 1804 in Shenandoah County, VA, and then moved to Muskingham County, Ohio. I am suspicious that Susannah and her husband, Thomas Winters/Winders moved to Ohio with David Evans and his family, but I have no proof.

The Evans family of Shenandoah County, VA lived in the Powells Fort Valley area of the county among a lot of people of German descent, yet Evans is a Welsh name.

I have not done any research in original records in Ohio but have quite a bit of secondary information on David Evans and his family, plus lots of info on the Evans family. I am sorry that I can not provide a link for you to your Winder family but maybe someday we can find the answers.

Thank you for writing to me.
Sincerely, A.J. Gardner

I am looking for info on a Catherine Holdren who was supposedly married to a Theodore Winder(s)or Winters (b. 1829)in the 1860s in Columbia County. I am also looking for info on a Sarah Holdren who married William M. Winders (b. 1834) in 1856. The Winders were possibly from Northumberland Co. ANY info is greatly appreciated!

From Terry Harris, Nov 2002:
He never remarried after Leta died. He had said he was afraid what a stepmother might be mean to his three daughters. That's why he moved to Exeter, Ca. to live with his mother & stepfather, Rev. Woods. Leta is said to have been full blooded Choctaw. The photo of John posted is with his daughter, Margaret (AKA Margarite) Louise (Winder) Miller, my husband's grandmother.

1110 David C. Winder, 1834 - 1919
By Bob Winder - Jun 8, 2000«tab»(Posted on Winder Genealogy website on MyFamily)

David C. Winder was born 17 Nov 1834 at Brownsville, PA, the son of John Winder, born in PA, and Caroline Winder, born in PA, in accordance with death certificate in Civil War pension file. He died 18 September 1919 in Milwaukee, WI, and was buried at the National Soldiers Home in Milwaukee, WI on 20 Sep 1919. He married Mary A. Snow on 25 Jul 1863 in Pittsburgh, PA., and in 1898 stated that he had three children living: Robert Winder, born 1866 David Winder, born 29 Apr 1872 Mary Winder, born 14 Mar 1877 David served two enlistments in the Civil War - the first from 3 June 1861, when he enlisted as a private in Co D, 8th Regt. PA Res Vol Inf for three years. On the muster roll for May and June 1862 he was reported "Absent sick in Hospital in Washington". He was discharged on certificate of disability by reason of chronic rheumatism, on 30 May 1862 at Mt. Pleasant General Hospital, Washington, DC. He was accepted for re-enlistment as a private in Co F, 14th Pa Cav on 9 September 1862, and was discharged from that enlistment on 30 May 1865. He was described upon enlistment as 5' 8 3/4" tall, of dark complexion, with black eyes and black hair - his occupation was a plasterer. In 1918 he stated his date of birth was 17 September 1833, a year earlier than given on his death certificate. At the same time he stated that he had lived in Cleveland, OH and Milwaukee, WI since his discharge in 1865. In 1877 he claimed in his declaration for pension that he had suffered a broken leg on or about 7 May 1862 at Falmouth, VA by being hit by a piece of shell thrown by the enemy. He also claimed that he received a gunshot wound at the Battle of Opequon, Va, 19 September 1864, and that a ball remained in his body from that wound, near his kidneys. At Ashby's Gap, VA, about February 18, 1865, in a charge against Mosby was hit by a rebel on the top of his head, resulting in a skull fracture.. Besides his hospitalization in 1862, he stated that he had been in hospital in Frederick City, MD in the fall of 1864, and in the "Rebel Hospital, Richmond, VA, Pemberton Tobacco House in Feb & March 1865 - Prisoner of war records show him captured at Ashby's Gap VA Feb 19, 1865, paroled at Aikens Landing VA, 24 Feb 1865, reported at Camp Parole, MD Feb 28, 1865, and sent to Camp Distribution on 23 Apr 1865. He gave his address in 1877 as 90 Chestnut Street, Cleveland, OH. He probably moved to Milwaukee about 1910. As happened rather frequently, David was charged with desertion from the hospital on 20 Jul 1862. This charge was removed, as he had previously been discharged on disability. Had horse shot dead under him at Winchester VA on 19 Oct 1864. By 1911 David was almost completely deaf - no hearing in right ear and "can hear loud conversation at 1 ft. with the left ear". He required "frequent and periodic, though not regular and constant", personal aid and attendance. His widow, Mary Snow Winder applied for and received a widow's pension until her death on 2 Feb 1930, when she was still living in Milwaukee, WI. «tab»«tab»«tab»«tab» «tab»«tab»«tab»«tab»«tab»

1119 Dear Ann:
I am afraid I don't know much about Victoria Winder (1872-1936). She was my ggreat grandmother. Her marriage license says that her father is an Ambrose S. Winner (yes, Winner) and her mother is dead. Her maiden name is written as Winder throughout the marriage certificate. She was married to a Frederick W. Fry (Muncy Twp) at the age of 15. She couldn't read or write and signed the certificate with her mark, X. Her sister Lucy A. (or C.) Lutz (her married name) consented to the marriage, since it goes on to say the the father's address is unknown. There is also one other sister, whose name is unknown (maybe Margaret or Marian). I have a picture of the three sisters. I cannot find Ambrose S. Winder in any of the census. He doesn't seem to belong to any of the Winders from Lycoming Co. PA. I remember my grandmother saying that they were English.

1120 Dear family,
I am certain you have received the news of Mother's death. Last Friday I sent an email to my friends, telling them about it. I have received some lovely responses. I want to share it with you as well. Love, Normie

December 14, 2000.

My dear friends, I am writing to let you know that my mother, Margaret Warren, died yesterday morning. She was 94. Many of you know that I spoke to her late afternoon, every day, for the last four years. This maternal/daughter connection was rich with laughter, discussions of current events and reports of the biographies that she voraciously read. We spoke extensively about the human condition, the meaning of life as well as reflecting on her life's journey.

Mother consciously prepared for her death both on a spiritual level as well as a practical level, as evidenced by arranging, three decades ago, to donate her body to the Medical School at the University of Cincinnati. In recent months, she spoke frequently about being ready for that trip.

Due to her donation, there was no funeral. My sisters and I will select a future date, after the fashion of Quakers, for her memorial service, to honor her life and contributions, which touched so many lives. Mother was alert and lucid up until the last 72 hours, when she slept almost around the clock and became unable to speak.

We are all grateful that my two oldest sisters, Allie and Flo were able to visit with her the week before she died. I did deep breathing with her to help her relax after the recent extraction of four molars. It gave me great pleasure to sing songs to her that she taught me in my childhood. I also frequently used visualization and imagery. I used to say, "Mother, I'm putting little kisses on your eyelids, pulling the sheet up under your chin, fluffing your pillow and wishing you the sweetest of dreams, my Darling." I also told her, "When your sweet soul sours through the universe, I will bless you on your journey, and every afternoon after that, I will remember the special times that we shared at day's end."

I am most grateful that my friend, Karen Phillips, was visiting from Clearwater, when I learned of Mother's death. I appreciate my friends 'holding Mother in the Light' and for sending good wishes for her comfort and ease in passing.

Love, Normie

Margaret Warren 1906-2000
Margaret Draughon Francis Winder Warren, 94, of Wilmington, died 8:44 a.m Thursday (Dec. 14, 2000) at Wilminton Nursing and Rehabilitation.
She was born April 26, 1906, at the Elms in Edgecomb County, N.C., daughter of the late Lyman Latham and Florence Rux Draughon. She received her bachelor's degree from Duke University and did graduate work at William & Mary School of Social Work. In 1932, she married Harold Edmund Francis. To that union, three daughters were born. Five years after Mr. Francis' death, and at the age of 55, she married Steve Winder. Mr. Winder was a widower with eight children, six of whom were still living at home (the youngest was 7 years old). Mr. Winder preceded her in death in 1974. She would eventually move to Wilminton and marry Luther Warren. Their marriage took place in 1984 when she was 79 and Mr. Warren was 93. Mr Warren preceded her in death in April 1997 at the age of 106.
Over the years, Margaret was an active member of the Religious Society of Friends in Washington, D.C., Ann Arbor, Michigan, Cleveland, Ohio and Wilmington, Ohio.
She worked and volunteered in many areas of social concern including poverty, alcoholism, mental health and civil rights. For years her home was open to many people including foreign students, Quakers and friends. She worked for several years to help create the Peace House at Wilmington College.

1123 DEATH CLAIMS S. W. WINDERS Former Local Man is Called. HERE FOR 42 YEARS Genial, Good Nalured Pioneer-Merchant Retires 22 Years Ago and Spends Old Age in Santa Barbara, California.

Samuel Wesley Winders, for many years a popular resident of Sycamore as well as merchant of this city, died in his home at Santa Barbara, Calif., on New Years Day. Death followed an illness of three months. He retired from business 22 years ago, after a career here that extended to 42 years. The son of John and Lydia Winders, he was born in Hagerstown, Md., February 4, 1854. He lived in Hagerstown until he was 15 years old, then resided in Dixon, moving from that place to Sycamore when a young man, and embarking in business here.

Begins Long Career

He first entered business on Somonauk street, in a building long since torn down, and which stood on the west end of the Strain building. Later he occupied the building he owned at the time of his death, now occupied by the Seeaneye, and later moved across the street to a building which also is a part of the present Strain store. On his retirement from business, he sold to Bryan & Lund. Mr. Winders was a pioneer Sycamore business man. He brought many new ideas into that business. He conducted a fruit store and a bakery here, and at one time was the owner of an ice house. Natural ice was a usable commodity and readily saleable in the days before artificial ice and the home refrigeration plants. When "Sam" Winders left Sycamore, his action was regretted by many who liked his genial and good natured ways.He took a pride in Sycamore and was in all ways an estimable citizen. Mr. Winders also operated a fruit and vegetable farm south of town in connection with his store. When the son Ray Winders finished his high school course in Sycamore, the family moved to Urbana, where the son entered the University of Illinois, and the father operated a fruit store there for a time.

Took Pride in Home

However, he felt that he should retire, having heard the voice of California calling. He moved to Santa Barbara, and at 1917 San Pascual street built a home where he spent his declining years. He took great pride in the building and grounds of this home. The lawn was beautifully landscaped, and was tended to by him with meticulous care. He was married in 1877 to Miss Jennie Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Johnson, early Sycamore settlers. She was bom in 1859, and died 16 years ago. Mr. Winders was a busy man throughout the time he lived in Sycamore, tending to his business and seeing that his family got every advantage he could give them. He belonged to no lodges, but was a member of the Methodist church. Mr. Winders has made several visits here since making his residence in the west, and friends marveled at his hale and hearty appearance, and were ever so glad to see that the western state had evidently been an auspicious climate in which to spend the years after his retirement from active business. The decedent had been in a coma for the past six weeks, the end of his earthly pilgrimage of his four score and almost six years coming peacefully at the last.

Daughter Survives

Of his most immediate family, there survives one daughter, Mrs. Bess Winders Laskey and her daughter, Ruthrae Laskey, as well as a grandson and a granddaughter, aged eight and seven years, children of Ray Winders, S. W. Winder's son. Ray Winders died at his home in Cleveland in December. Mr. Winders was a member of a large family, four brothers and two sisters surviving. They are: Harry Winders, San Jose, Calif.; D. E. Winders, Sycamore; Mrs. Katherine Shuler, Sterling, Ill.; Frank Winders, St. Paul, Minn.; Charles Winders, Polo, Ill., and Mrs. B. F.

1125 DEATH OF R. A. R. WINDER

The Well Known Printer Passes Away at His Home in Ashley at Noon To-day

Robert A.R. Winder, one of the best known printers in this city, died at his home in Ashley at a quarter past 12, noon, today after a short illness from typhoid pneumonia. He had been employed at the Record office in this city for more than twenty years, and was one of its oldest employees, having entered it when the Miners were at its head, though he had not worked there continuously since. During the years that followed he was employed on numerous papers, among them the Philadelphia Press, and old Wilkes-Barre Sunday Plain Dealer, the News-Dealer, the Plymouth Star and others. A few years ago when the Good Templar movement in this city was pushed with so much vigor he was an earnest worker and accomplished much good work.

Later he identified himself with the Junior O U A M, and through his enthusiastic effort many new Councils were organized. He was District Deputy of that order.

He was married eight or nine years ago to Miss Elizabeth Liggett, of Ashley, who survives him. Three weeks ago Mr Winder was taken into full membership in the Centenary Methodist Church at Ashley and those who were present on that occasion remember how earnestly he answered the questions asked by the pastor, Rev. J. B. Sweet.

Mr Winder was blessed with a pleasant disposition and he had a very large cirle of friends who will regret to hear of his death. He was a son of the late Squire Winder, of this city, who moved here from White Haven. No arrangement has yet been made for the funeral.

My great grandmother was Cora Ann Smith Blachley. Cora was the daughter of Mary Slater and John Smith Wapello Co Iowa.
Cora was born Jan 8 1871 in Eldon Iowa Wapello Co. She married James Grant Blachley Feb 29 1888 in Wapello Co Ia. She died in Des Moines Polk Co Iowa May 4 1955.
Cora was known to have a brother Jack (John ) Winder. Her father John Smith was hung in front of the courthouse in Ottumwa Iowa about 1874-1875. He got drunk and killed the sheriff.
We were told her mother Mary was Cherokee Indian. I do have the County Biographical write up on John Smith's hanging also a copy of the newspaper article detailing the situation. This was a well kept secret about the family. My cousin came back from California about 10 years ago and he said he had heard something about this. So we went down to our historical library here in Des Moines and we found out all about it.

1135 Detroit News, 20 Jan 1901: MARTHA CORNELIA WINDER / Widow of Col. John Winder has passed away / Her mind was bright until the last / She married one of Detroit's Most Estimable Citizens / Died in house where she had lived fifty-eight years / Was one of the founders of the Protestant Orphan Asylum
Mrs. Martha Cornelia Winder, widow of the late Col. John Winder, died at the family homestead, corner of Woodward avenue and High street, last night after a very short illness.
The attending physician pronounced death, which came at 9:30 last night, due to congestion of the lungs. Mrs. Winder had not been invalided in the least, her mental faculties remaining bright to the last. Saturday she felt strong enough to go out and make calls upon two sick friends, and even yesterday morning she was dressed and about the house. She passed away very peacefully.
The demise of this very estimable lady removes one who was widely known and beloved from the days of early Detroit for she and her well-known husband were pioneers in the City of the Straights. For sixty-five of the eighty-one years of her life she had lived here, coming from the east at the age of sixteen to be the wife of one of Detroit's most representative citizens.
Her maiden name was Martha Cornelia Strong and she was the daughter of Judge Elisha B. Strong, of Rochester, N.Y., a distinguished jurist and gentleman of the old school. The family was an old New England one. The late Mrs. Winder was born in Rochester on April 13, 1819, being in her 82nd year at the time of her death. She attended a young ladies' seminary at Canandaigua, N.Y.
While a girl, she paid a visit to the far western city of Detroit and here became acquainted with Col. Winder. The latter soon followed her to the east after her return and they were married in Rochester on September 19, 1836.
Coming directly to Detroit, they lived for a while at the only hotel the town afforded, a little inn standing near to the present site of the the city hall. Later they lived on Randolph street, where the Hotel STe Claire stands now.
Fifty-eight years ago they built the substantial homestead that still stands at the corner of Woodward and High. Here they lived the remainder of their lives. Here Col. Winder died, September 26 1897, and here Mrs. Winder died yesterday. When this old house was first built, it was the only structure of any kind on Woodward avenue north of the spot known as Grand Circus park. All was forest, tenanted by game of all kinds and by Indians.
Mrs. Winder had been an earnest and devout member of the First Presbyterian church ever since she came to Detroit, 65 years ago. She and her worthy husband followed the primitive congregation from its rustic little meeting house on the corner of Woodward and Larned street to the second site, which was on the corner of Gratiot and Farmer streets, where Hudson's department store now stands; thence to its third and final site, where today stands the handsome temple of worship in which will be held the absequies of Mrs. Winder.
Her prominence in charitable work made her widely beloved. She was one of the founders of the Protestant Orphan asylum and was for several years the only surviving member of the original board of directors. She was the first directress of the asylum from 1852 to 1860.
Two children were born to Col. and Mrs. Winder. Catherine, who died in 1864, and J. Elisha Winder, of this city.

1149 Died: Jordan \endash At Findlay, Ohio, Friday evening Oct 7, 1881: Mrs.
Elizabeth Paden Winders Jordan, aged nearly 70 years.
Mrs. Jordan was a native of Mifflin County, Penn., whence she came when quite young with her parents to Fairfield Co., Ohio. Here at the age of eighteen years and a few months she was married to John Winders, an excellent man who died in 1856, leaving her with six children of various ages, the older ones grown to maturity, one being married.
In 1862, following the fortunes of a part of her family who had come to Northwestern Ohio, she went to Findlay, which has since been her home. In September, 1871, she was married to Chas. E. Jordan, one of the pioneers of Hancock County, and with him passed the closing years of her life in gentle quietude and peace.
Mrs. Jordan was for more than fifty years a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with which she united about 1828 or 1829. Her parents had been Scotch-Irish Presbyterian, and the opposition of her parents and other friends to her choice of a church relationship was
very bitter. In that day to be known as a "shouting Methodist" was
little better than a disgrace\emdash a fact which the young girl was made to
feel deeply. It was through this church relationship that she met and
became acquainted with her future husband, Mr. Winders, who stood
bravely by her, even before their marriage, in her battle for the
religion of her choice. Within two years after marriage she enjoyed the
satisfaction of knowing that every member of her family had come within the Methodist fold. She was a subscriber to the "Western Christian Advocate" from the beginning of its publication, having never missed a number of her favorite religious journal, her subscription to which she kept faithfully paid up, alike through prosperity and adversity, for the period of forty years that death brought to a close.
Mrs. Jordan leaves behind her two sons and one daughter in Findlay, one son in Indiana, thirteen grandchildren, three great grandchildren and a large circle of other relatives. In her death they deplore the loss of a Christian woman, whose light shone through life with an excellent brightness, and for whom "to die was gain."
