2751	Page copied from unidentified source by Detroit Public Library, Barton Historical Collection (marked 3-30-1902): Col. and Mrs. John Winder. Col. Winder was born at Uniontown, Pa., 1805. In 1824 he was employed as clerk by Maj. Thos. Rowland, then United States marshall for the territory of Michigan. He succeeded K.C. Trowbridge as county clerk and occupied also the offices of justice of the peace and pension agent. In 1826 he was appointed clerk of the United States Circuit Court, and in 1837 clerk of the United States District Court for Michigan. He held both offices until 148, and that of the Circuit Court until 1870. He was particularly identified with the state militia, occupying the office of aide de camp with rank of colonel on the staffs of Gov. Mason, Gov. Horner and Gov. Porter. He was also a member of the Brady Guards. Col. and Mrs. Winder lived for many years in the old homestead surrounded by beautiful grounds on the corner of High street and Woodward avenue.

2775	Peter was a farmer and Inn keeper in Fayette Co., Pa., Gurnsey Co., Oh., and Trenton,Grundy Co., Mo.. Peter inherited about 100 acres and an Inn from his grandfather, Peter Colley (owned Colley Tavern), He sold the 100 acres in 1843 to his Uncle, Solomon Colley,. He left Pa. after the death of his mother, Mary, in 1849. His father, David, died about 1832. Peter is interred in South Evans Cemetery 7 miles E. of Trenton, Mo.. Further research shows that Peter D. arrived in Trenton in 1862 and rented the Bismarck Hotel from 1870 to 1872 he then bought the National House in 1872 and retired from that business in 1877. His partner was Edley Wilson, his son in law (married Elizabeth Colley). The street address for the National Hotel, 205 E. 10th Court, Trenton, Mo. The National House was located immediately West of Cullers Hospital, Trenton. («i»Information came from Robert Colley who has passed«/i»)	COLLEY, Peter David (I23812)
2776	Peter Winder therefore inherited the Hall and the registers show his wife Dorothie buried in 1623, without producing an heir. In 1626 at latest, Peter remarried a lady with initial A who bore six children including the heir, John, in 1626. The initial A is attested by an inscribed fireplace in the hall 'PW 1630 AW' . A could be Anne, since this is the only A used for a grandchild's name (out of seven girls), and we know of a prominent Anne Winder in 1699. Peter Winder died in 1651, leaving a brief and simple will.	WINDER, Peter (I19400)
2777	Peter Winder would have inherited Lorton Hall in 1544. We find Peter Wynder holding the same third of the Vill as Margaret in both 1547 and 1570, but by 1578 it has passed to John Wynder. We also find that Peter Winder of Lorton was named in 1567 as supervisor of the will of Isaac Tullie of Blindcraick(3). Unfortunately there are no Parish records of Peter, who was born before baptisms were recorded and died in a gap in the burial records, and we have no will. Four of the earliest marriage records are believed by F.A.Winder (1) to be of his siblings.	WYNDER, Peter (I19382)

2781	Pg 5, col 2 *Our people were again shocked, Thursday morning in hearing the announcement of the sudden death of "Uncle Johnny" Miller. Mr. Miller had made his customary trip up town on Tuesday but complained some of not feeling so well as usual and remained in his home on Wednesday. After retiring at night he called his daughter, Mrs. Ella Winders, to his bed-side saying he felt unusually warm. A little later he desired to return downstairs and had done so when neighbors were called in and Dr. Newcomer was sent for, but before the doctor had arrived Mr. Miller was beyond all medical aid. Mr. John M. Miller was a native of Berkely County, Virginia. He was born October 24, 1817 and died March 14, 1900, aged 82 years, 4 months and 20 days. In the spring of 1840 he came from Virginia to Illinois and located in Pine Creek Township. In August of the same year he married Miss Susan G. Price. They were the parents of six sons and three daughters. Only four of the nine children survive their parents: Warren of Clinton, Iowa; Jacob Miller and Mrs. Ella Winders of this place, and Oliver Miller of Polo. All were called home to pay their last respects to their departed father.* *The funeral services were held in the college chapel, Friday, at 10:30 A. M. The excercises were conducted by Prof. Royer, and Revs. Lipe and Nazarene, at the conclusion of which the remains were taken to the family lot in the Salem Cemetery.* *Since his wife's death, which occurred some years ago, Mr. Miller and daughter have made their home in Mt. Morris. During his life in our midst he won the highest esteem of our people and in his death the children suffer the loss of a kind father and the community a good friend and citizen.*	MILLER, John Mumma (I22034)

2783	Pg. 4: John Elwood Winder son of John and Sarah Winder, was born at North Lewisburg, Ohio October 15, 1842, and died at the National Military hospital, at Leavenworth, Kansas, May 20, 1919, at the age of 70 years, 7 months and 5 days. He moved with his parents to Kansas when about 15 years of age and grew up there. On March 12, 1862 he entered the Union army and fought throughout the war until he was captured by the Confederate army at Tilton, Ga., Oct. 13 , 1864 and was incarcerated in Andersonville prison. John Fitch of Bedford was his bunkmate through the war and was captured at the same time. They and R. P. Smith of Bedford were in the prison camp together and they and a few others in Taylor county for years celebrated on April 28th by a basket dinner camp fire, etc., t h e date of their release from the rebel prison. Mr. Winder was a prisoner for seven months in Andersonville and here his health was undermined and broken. Had it not been for the tender care and nursing of a comrade, he never would have lived until his release . The hunger and suffering of those terrible months left him with health so impaired that he suffered from the effects as long as he lived. He was mustered out of service at Davenport, Ia. May 26. 1865. After the war he went to Johnson county, Kansas. Here on April 13, 1866, he was united in marriage with Minerva Jessup and they moved to Osage county. Seven children were born to this union, two of whom have preceded their father. The surviving children are William E. Winder of Des Moines, Ia. Chas. M. Winder of St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Sadie Lawson of Bedford, Iowa Mrs. Josephine Ellis of Des Moines, Ia, John E. Winder of Shawnee, Wyo. Three grandchildren, and also one brother Thomas Winder of Emporia, Kansas, survive the deceased. The mother passed away on Jan. 15, 1908. On March 15, 1910 , he was married to Fannie M. Hodges of Lenox Ia., who survives to mourn her husband's passing. Mr. Winder lived in Kansas until about 1884, when the family came to Iowa, first to Union county, and very shortly after to Taylor county, where the family for years made their home. Mr. Winder farmed for some years until his health failed. He filled many public positions for years serving at the state house in Des Moines in various capacities, such as document clerk, senate doorkeeper etc. He was deputy sheriff of Taylor county for several years and held other clerical positions. About two years ago his health failed and he went to the National Army hospital at Leavenworth Kan., for treatment but gradually grew worse in mind and body until death came to relieve his suffering. Mr. Winder was born of Quaker parentage and trained under those strong Christian influences. He married a Quaker wife and those influences which surrounded him were of the positive Christian sort. He united with the Methodist Episcopal church and remained a member of this church until his death. In later years failing health prevented active work in the church. He was a man of high ideals, of exalted conceptions and standards of life. A great student, he was a prodigious and persistent reader. Generous in nature, he was identified with all worthy public enterprises. He loved his country and her flag with an intense devotion; and patriotism was woven into the very fabric of his being. Greatly devoted to the F.A.R., he was twice honored by the local post with the position of Commander. He was also at one time an aid to the national department. He was a man of worthy life and service. The funeral was held at the M.E. church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in charge of Rev. Levi P. Goodwin. The G.A.R. post and W.R.C. attended in a body. Interment was made in Bedford cemetery.	WINDER, John Elwood (I316)

2788	Photograph curtesy of Gary Bacon:«a heref="http://garacon.brinkster.net/ancestry/swena_03.htm"»Swena Family Ancestry«/a». According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000) James Winder, born 27 June 1806, who married Mary (Polly) Swena, moved to Illinois before September 1846, and then later to Kansas, where he lived in Williamsport Township, Shawneee County, at census time in 1870. James Winder was described by his son-in-law Alex McQuiston and daughter F. A. Young thusly in an affidavit supporting a pension claim from Polly: 'We were well-acquainted with husband of this claimant. We know that in 1864 and up to the time of his death in August 1872 he was a physical wreck." In Polly Winder's pension file is another affidavit stating that "up to the fall of 1864 her post office address was La Moille, Bureau County, Illinois, she then moved to Mt. Florence (now Meriden), Jefferson County, Kansas. In the spring of 1866 she moved to Williamsport Township, Shawnee County, Kansas. Her P. O. address was then Topeka, Kansas. About 6 years ago [1887] the Mo. Pacific RR made a station on their road out from Topeka and called it Berryton, since that time her PO address has been Berryton, but she did not move." According to Stubbs' Kirk Family Genealogy, the children of James and Polly Swena Winder were [as listed]. From: Gary Bacon Sent: Monday, April 28, 2003 7:34 PM I have a picture of James Winder and Mary Polly Swena with their daughter Alice. I am interested in seeing other pictures of James Winder and Ann Kirk or their children. Do you have any? I sent a picture to you that I am still trying to figure out. On the back of it, my grandmother wrote “Grandma & Grandpa Winder.” I received another copy of it saying that it is Benjamin & Polly Swena. I need a reliable source so I can verify the identity their identity.	WINDER, James (I1388)

2790	Photograph curtesy of Gary Bacon:«a heref="http://garacon.brinkster.net/ancestry/swena_05.htm"»Swena Family Ancestry«/a». According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000): Eliza Winder, born 26 December 1813, married Lemuel Swena, and moved to California. Stubbs reported Eliza and Lemuel Swena to be living in Butler County, California about 1879, but no such county exists in California. [Gary Bacon informs me that it should be Butte Co, CA] The family moved to Sutter County, California. This move probably took place after 1853. The children of Lemuel and Eliza Winder Swena are reported to be: A. Anson Swena, born 10 October 1836. B. Eliza Swena, born 28 April 1839, married Francis Wookey on 10 June 1865. C. Emmeline A. Swena, born 2 April 1841, married Reuben W. Kratz on 3 April 1865. D. Lemuel Swena, born 28 January 1843, died 27 September 1845. E. Caroline Swena, born 27 November 1844, died 30 November 1844. F. Orlando Swena, born 18 April 1846. G. Maria S. Swena, born 18 December 1849, married Harris C. Overton on 26 January 1865. H. Amelia Swena, born 28 May 1852. I. Lemuel B. Swena, born 24 December 1854, died 7 June 1860. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 8:38 PM Subject: WINDER Hi Ann My name is Roberta Scott Shaw, and I am the great-grandaughter of Maria Susana Swena nee Winder. She married Harris Clark Overton in CA in 1865. Her oldest daughter, Alice Albina Overton, married James B. Scott in 1885. The Swena's, Lemuel and Eliza (Winder) Swena both died in Butte Co., CA, probably in a section above Chico known as Rock Creek. Maria and family lived for the most part in an area near Nord, which is also above Chico. I have a microfilm at the LDS FHC here in RI of the Swena Family Bible (transcription) and the Swift Fam Bible - Amelia C. Swena married a Swift. Anson Swena (a minister) officiated at that marriage. Eliza Swena married a Wookey. The Swifts and Wookeys had farms in the Rock Creek area, and there is still a Wookey Road north of Chico. I have been trying to find out more details about the farms in the area, and also to whom Anson and Orlando were married. I am please you have the database you have...I will visit your home page a lot, I think. If you should learn anything more about the Swena's, please let me know. Also if you manage to untangle the generation of Winder's that seems to have everyone confused! Roberta in Rhode Island	WINDER, Eliza (I1413)
