Hi Ann,
Unfortunately, there is not too much to report. The Winders were not a part of the Broad Bay community but were included in the book because of the connections between the German Broad Bay community and several German enclaves in what was then Massachusetts.

The Winders mentioned in the book came from Germantown which is now a neighborhood within Quincy and possibly Braintree, Massachusetts. What is written is as follows:

ANDREAS WINDER, by 1754, Germantown

Andrew Winder and wife Anna Maria had children:
1. Philip Henrik Winder b 22 March 1754, bp 28 April 1754 Germantown (Quincy), MA.
2. John Conrad Winder b 1 March 1756, bp 21 March 1756 Germantown (Quincy), MA.

Good luck,

Hardwick 2140
Hardwick,Hardwig,Hartwick,Hartwigg etc.
The Hardwick family of Quincy, as the name is now spelled, was one of the group of Palatine Germans who emigrated to New England in 1751 and 1753. Joseph Crellius who came from Philadelphia had obtained permission from the General Court for the immigration of German Protestants to settle on land in western Massachusetts and in Maine, but he was unable to fulfil the conditions of the grant which expired in 1749 before the first group of immigrants arrived. The first group arrived in 1751 and a larger group in Sep.1752 "in a ship from Holland in which came Mr. Crellius with nearly 300 Germans, men, women, and children, some of whom are to settle at Germantown and the others in the eastern part of this province - "Tis said that near 50 children have been born on board the vessel during their passage" - Boston Weekly News -Letter, Thursday Sep.21,1752, as quoted in N.E. Hist. Gen. Register Vol.40, p.323.
It is said that John Peter Hardwick, a glass worker, and stocking weaver came here in 1751 and was the head of the family. This is by tradition only and there is no certainty of it. His name appears but once in the records as below.
The glass works at Germantown in 1752 soon failed and the promoter Joseph Palmer petitioned the General Court in April 1756 with others for a lottery to raise funds for the establishment of other industries and in April 1757 received permission for it and also to have his workmen exempted "from impresses and all military duty".
2141
In a return of the list of men to be exempted beginning February 1761 for one year are the names of John Peter Hardwig; Henry Hardwig, John Hardwig, Philip Hardwig alias Frederick Peter Hardwig, and Adam Hardwig. It is assumed that the latter were all sons of the first mentioned John Peter Hardwig (Mass. Archives 15A p.266).
In the earliest list of members of Christ Church in 1764 only the name of Frederick Hardwig appears. Apparently the others had removed from town by that time. Some of the German colonists removed to join the group at Broad Bay, now Waldoboro, Maine and others stayed in Boston and settled there.
According to present day descendants in Quincy the first family here was John Peter Hardwick and he is here treated as the head of the family, but nothing is known of him.

Subject: Saur Bible
I don;t exactly know what the Saur Bible is. I bought the book I cited, and it is a real mess of a book -- one privately published, and just a mish-mash of information. I just know that I remember someone talking about the Saur Bible on the Berks list, and then I came upon it in this book and there was the list of donors. I assumed, when I read the list, that Andreas Winder was Andreas or Andrew WINTER. I am a direct descendant of the Winter family. My Winter GG+ grandfathers were Christian and John R. I could be wrong in my assumption about Winder being Winter. It just makes sense to me, though, as names were spelled as they were said. The significance of being a donor, I guess, is just that. That those people donated the money to buy this bible, and I guess the Bible was a big deal. Below is what I have on Andrew Winter.

Andrew Winder was one of the Palatine Germans who settled at Germantown in 1752 and who remained after the failure of the glass works to work at one of the factories run by Joseph Palmer and was listed by him in Feb.1761 as an employee to be exempt from military duty by act of the General Court in 1757 as an encouragement for the manufacturers there.

In 1810, according to Bill Johns, he appears in Union Twp, Fayette Co, PA.

According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
James Winder (1775-1861), the eldest son of James Winder and Elizabeth Grable of Redstone Township, apparently remained in Fayette County until after the census of 1800 was taken in Menallen Township, then moved to what was later Bloomfield Township in Crawford County, PA.
...
James Winder (1775-1861), the oldest son of James and Elizabeth Grable Winder, born in Fayette County, PA, moved to Crawford County, PA sometime after 1798, and is known to have been living in Bloomfield Township of Crawford County by the year 1805, when a brother-in-law, Abraham Farrington, mentioned in his diary a visit to the James Winder home there, while he (Abraham) was scouting out a new place to settle. The local history of Crawford County, published in 1885, states that James Winder came from Fayette County between 1798 and 1800 along with other folks, including the Joseph Kirk family. These dates of migration from Fayette County do not seem to be verifiable to any close degree, and we can say with certainty only that James Winder was settled in Bloomfield Township by the year 1805, as shown by the contemporary source of Abraham Farrington's diary. James Winder was almost certainly married twice, and probably moved to Crawford County with his first wife, who has not been identified. From the Quaker records of Redstone Meeting, we know that Ann Winder, formerly Kirk, was disowned on 30 November 1804 for marrying out of unity. The Kirk Family Genealogy, a monumental work written by Charles Stubbs in 1872, shows that Ann Kirk's husband was James Winder, and that they lived in Bloomfield Township, Crawford County, PA, during their married life. The census of 1810 for Bloomfield Township lists James Winder as head of a household that included two male children born well before James' marriage to Ann Kirk. These two oldest children in 1810 were Caleb Winder, born in 1796, and his younger brother, whose name may have been Samuel.

James Winder is on record in the National Archives as serving as First Sergeant of Capt. Nathaniel Price's company in the War of 1812. This company was attached to the 135th Regiment, 16th Division, Pennsylvania Militia, with Lt. Col. Andrew Christ commanding. James is shown as present from 14 October 1812 to 31 October 1812. His oldest son, Caleb, is also listed as a Private in the same Company of Militia, serving the same short term. Stubbs' Kirk Family Genealogy gives no marriage date for James Winder and Ann Kirk, but does list the ten children of James and Ann Kirk Winder. Public records have been found confirming the existence of all these children. James Winder apparently lived in Bloomfield Township for most of his life after 1805, with the exception of the years from 1813 to 1819, when he was missing from the tax rolls there. He evidently continued to claim some 400 acres of land there until he finally received a patent for 391 acres from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1839. It is believed that James and Ann lived in Concord Township, Erie County, PA between 1813 and 1819. This supposition fits with the story of the first murder in Crawford County, as related in the History of Crawford County, published by Warner Bros. & Co. in 1885. According to that source the murder took place on 7 February 1817. The victim's wife snatched her baby, managed to escape from the murderer, and then fled for some two miles northward through a February blizzard until she found refuge in "the cabin of James Winder, in Concord Township, Erie County, PA, to whom she told her tale of woe". James Winder and Ann Kirk apparently sold off practically all of land they owned before his death in 1861. James had acquired title to the "400 acres" that he consistently claimed in Bloomfield Township by a patent issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on 29 March 1837. This land adjoined the Eighth Donation District lots 1701 and 1700 to the west, and lay immediately north of Donation District lot 1605, which bounded it to the south. This patent is recorded in Pennsylvania Patent Book H, volume 37, page 169, and shows the land to be 391 acres and 11 perches, plus allowances. The purchase price of this land, as listed on the patent, was $78.30. By deed of 6 February 1840 (recorded 10 August 1842), some 76 acres of the northeast corner of this land was sold by James and Ann to their son, James Winder, Jr., who, with his wife Polly, resold the 76-acre portion by deed of 6 July 1834, which deed was not recorded until 8 February 1867. Earlier, by deed of 25 June 1838, recorded in Crawford County Deed Book T-1, page 198, James Winder and Ann had sold the southern half of the 391-acre patent to John Reynolds. Then on 1 October James and Ann sold 110 acres in the northern part of the land to Charles Shreve, presumably their son-in-law. This deed was witnessed by Lemuel Swena, also a son-in-law of James and Ann. James and Ann also sold about eight acres from this patent to Stephen Bloomfield, Jedidiah Smith, and Aaron Taylor, and so it appears that for the last few years of their lives James and Ann lived on a small (approximately one acre) plot that was all that was left from the original patent. An inventory of James' estate filed by the administrator, his youngest son, showed assets of only $80.66. James Winder died 3 February 1861. His wife, Ann Kirk Winder, who was born 4 May 1779, died on 2 November 1860.

According to Christine Thacker:
Born on his father's plantation, Bower Hill, in the Rewastico district near Broad Creek .
Died of "Bilious Catarrh" a lung ailment contracted 1814 while in a Canadian prison cell.
Services were held at his home on Chathan Street, and the funeral procession was immense and unprecedented. More than 15,000 citizens of Baltimore. It was by far the largest funeral procession in the history of the city and was to remain so until well after the Civil War.

From Historical Magazine, Vol 5, No 8, Aug 1861: War of 1812 / Gen Winder and capture of Washington
The conduct of General Winder having been often called in question in regard to the loss of Washington; it will be of some service to the cause of historic truth to put on record, in your columns, the following official papers: D.
New York, Dec 17, 1814. SIR: Since my arrival at this place, I have seen the report of the committee on the causes and particulars of the invasion of the city of Washington, &c. &c.
The scope of that report and of the statements received by the committee from various persons, tends so directly to injure my character as Commander of the 10th Military District, that it has imposed upon me the necessity of demanding that my conduct be subjected to the investigation of a military court of inquiry; the only tribunal which, as an officer, I can recognize as competent or authorized to decide the question which the honorable committee have thought proper to raise by their report.
It is unnecessary for me to impress upon you who are so sensible of it, how important it is to the nation and the army that the officers should protect their reputations with the most zealous vigilance; and thence the necessity of my being indulged, without unavoidable delay, with the opportunity of submitting my conduct to the investigation of a court of inquiry. It will also be superfluous for me to say that the question raised by the committee, will require that this court should consist of officers whose services, talents, and skill, are the most unquestionable.
I am here, under an order from the war department, as a witness on the trial of Colo. Coles, and an interval of a fortnight, which has occurred, I shall spend, by the permission of the court, with my family at Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania, to which place please direct your communications and orders to me.
For your information, I inclose a letter which I have deemed it necessary to address to Mr. Johnson, the chairman of the committee, and beg that you will permit me to go to Washington, should I find it necessary, where, by my presence, I may be enabled with greater certainty to place this subject in a train to insure a just decision, whatever course may be taken.
I beg leave however to state, in the most distinct manner, that whatever decision they may take on this subject, I shall still insist upon the right to have my military conduct judged of by military men. The position in which the report of the committee has placed this subject, has rendered it indispensably necessary.
I am anxious to return to my command with the least possible delay, where, notwithstanding all that has been done to give the country a different belief, I trust I shall be able to prove, that the confidence heretofore reposed in me has not been misapplied.

GENERAL ORDER
The Secretary of War directs the following warrant, with the report of the court of inquiry in the case of Brig-gen. Winder, be published to the army.
WARRANT
Brigadier-gen. W. H. Winder, of the United States Army, having applied for a court of inquiry to examine and inquire into his conduct as Com. Gen'l of the 10th Military District, during his command thereof, in the summer of 1814, a court of inquiry, to consist of Major-general W. Scott, President, Col. John R. Fenwick, and Col. Wm. Drayton, members, is hereby appointed to meet at Baltimore, on the 26th day of January, 1815, to examine into the conduct of Brigadier-gen. Winder, as embraced in the report of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the U. States by their committee appointed to inquire into the cause and particulars of the invasion of the city of Washington, by the British forces, in the month of August, 1814, and such other evidence and documents as may be laid before the court, by Lt. J.M. Glassell, who is hereby appointed recorder of the same. The court is hereby empowered and required to give its opinion as to the merits of the case for the information of the President of the U.S.; and for so doing, this shall be sufficient warrant.
Given under my hand and the seal of the War Office, theis 21st day of Jan'y, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and fifteen, and of the independence of the U.S., the 39th.
By command of the President of the U. States, Js. Monroe, Sec'y of War
REPORT
The court of inquiry, ordered to examine into the report upon the conduct of Brigadier-gen. Winder, so far as it is connected with the capture and destruction of Washington, in August, 1814, unanimously submit the following as a result of their investigations:
The court, with great attention and much labor, have perused the numerous papers and documents referred to them, from whience the collect that Brigadier-gen. Winder was appointed to the command of the 10th Military Dist. of which Washington was a part, on the 2nd day of July, 1814, that immediately thereafter he took every means in his power to put that District under a proper state of defence; that from the period when well-grounded apprehensions were entertained that the enemy meditated an attack upon the capital, his exertions were great and unremitted; that through these exertions, he was enabled to bring into the field on the 24th of August, 1814, the day on which the battle of Bladensburgh was fought, about 5 or 6000 men, all of whom, excepting four hundred, were militia; that he could not collect much more than one half this force till a day or two previously to the engagement, and 6 or 700 of them did not arrive until fifteen minutes before its commencement -- that from the uncertainty whether Baltimore, the city of Washington, or Fort Washington, would be selected as the point of attack, it was necessary that Brigadier-gen'l Winder's troops should frequently change their positions, owing to which, and alarms causelessly excited in the night of the 23rd of August, they were much fatigued, and many of them nearly exhausted at the time when the hostile army was crossing the bridge at Bladensburgh; that the officers commanding the troops were generally unknown to Gen'l Winder, and but a small number of them had enjoyed the benefit of military instruction or experience.
The members of this court, in common with their fellow-citizens lament, deeply lament, the capture of the capital; and they regard, with no ordinary indignation, the spoliation of its edifices, those public monuments of art and scence, always deemed sacred by a brave and generous foe; but amidst these mingled and conflicting sensations, they nevertheless feel it to be their duty to separate the individual from the calamities surrounding him, and to declare that to the officer upon whose conduct they are to determine, no censure is attributable. On the contrary, when they take into consideration the complicated difficulties and embarrassments under which he labored, they are of opinion, notwithstanding the result, that he is entitled to no little consideration; before the action he exhibited industry, zeal, and talent, and during its continuance a coolness, a promptitude, and a personal valor, highly honorable to hmself and worthy of a better fate.
The Court adjourned sene die. W. Scott, Major-gen'l and President
Attest: G.L. Nicholas, Lt. and Recorder

The President of the United States having been pleased to approve of the foregoing opinion of the court of inquiry, Brigadier-gen'l Winder will honorably resume his command, and report to the major-general commanding districts Nos. 4 and 10.
By Order of the Sec'y of War, D. Parker, Adj.-general

Adjustant and Inspector-General's Office, Feb. 8, 1815
SIR: I have the honor to inclose to you a certified copy of the Report of the court of inquiry, appointed to investigate you military conduct as commanding general of the 10th Military District, during the summer of 1814.
I am directed by the Secretary of War to advise you, that the President has been pleased to approve the report and opinion of the court; and to express to you the very favorable opinion which the executive entertains of your military and civil character.
I hope you will do me the favor to accept the new assurances of my respect and regard.
D. Parker, Adj.-gen'l


From Historical Magazine, Vol 2, No 2, Aug 1867: Winfield Scott to W H Winder 1814 letter (footnote: communicated by W.H.Winder, Esq., of Philadelphia)
PLAINS OF BUFFALOE MAY 6TH 1814
My Dear General,
Permit me with heartfelt gladness to congratulate you on your happy return to your family the army your country. Lieut Smith has brought us the pleasing intelligence, nothing can be more auspicious -- the return -- the exchange -- the opening of the campaign. Write me my dear General to inform me how these happy changes have been brought about, and shall I not have the happiness of seeing you soon on the frontier? I know your predilection for this theatre from what passed between us at Albany the past Winter.
I have a handsome little army (M.Gen Brown has been absent int he direction of the Harbour since the 21st past) of about 1700 total, to wit the 8th 11th 21st & 25th Regts and two campnies 2nd arty. Brig Gen Ripley who received his notification last evening is with me. If many recruits are not forwarded he will be without a Brigade. I am most partial to these Regts. The men are healthy, sober, cheerful and docile. The field officers highly respectable, and many of the platoon officers are decent & emulous of improvement. If of such material I do not make the best army now in service by the first June, I will agree to be dismissed the service.
Our friend Capt Towson is with me. With the manly tears of joy he heard of your return. But a few days since he learned from my aid Lieut Worth that a report had prevailed in Baltimore said to be derived from Capt. T. somewhat to this this effect, that he Capt T. very much censored your conduct at Stony Creek &c &c &c. Towson is most indignant at the foul aspersion of himself, for so he considers the report and holds you in the highest esteem and respect as he has uniformly expressed himself with all the engergy of his honorable and high-toned sensibility. I also assert that not a man in the army at Fort George last summer ever expressed within my hearing or to my knowledge a whisper to your prejudice. This said not on your account for you do not Stand in need of my support, but on account of my friend Towson lest you should imagine he is less than what he professes.
I write to you my dear General in haste int he first flush of joy
I am with esteem ever yrs. W. Scott
Tell me how you left my friend Roach? Vandeventer, Machesney &c. I calculate certainly on having the happiness of receiving a letter from you W.S.

David Winder 1775-1794
1 male 1810-1820 John
2 females 1810-1820 Eliza Jane, Mary
1 female 1775-1794 Hannah

According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
David Winder, born between 1780 and 1782, according to the best deductions possible from census records and other documents, moved into Ohio by 1820, where he was recorded in the census of that year in Harrison County. David apparently lived on a quarter-section of land (NW quarter of Section 2 in Township 12, Range 7) that was bought by his father, James Winder, from the Steubenville Land Office on 20 December 1813, as recorded by certificate #4557 issued by that office. At that time the land was included in Freeport Township, but is now within present-day Washington Township. By deeds of 17 October 1823, James Winder of Redstone Township, Fayette County, PA, sold the east half of this land to his son David Winder, and the west half of the same quarter-section to his son James Winder, Junior, of Bloomfield Township, Crawford County, PA. (Harrison County, Ohio Deed Book A, pp. 258, 259).Subsequently, by deed of 22 September 1826 (Harrison County Deed Book D, p. 79), James Winder, Junior, of Bloomfield Township, Crawford County, PA, sold his half to his brother David, who resided in Harrison County, Ohio. David Winder, and his wife Hannah, having first sold a ten-acre piece of this land to Joel Wharton, then sold the remaining 150 acres to Samuel Green on 8 March 1831. David Winder has not been found in the 1830 census in Harrison County, nor in any of the adjoining counties of Ohio. He is recorded as a justice of the peace in Harrison County in marriage records dating from the 1820's. In the estate records of Belmont County, Ohio is found the will of David Winder, dated 24 June 1843. The will names his wife as Hannah (as do the earlier deeds in Harrison County), and so this David Winder who died in Union Township, Belmont County about 30 June 1843, is presumed to be the same David Winder who was resident in Harrison County during the 1820's. David Winder is also found as head of household in the 1840 census of Union Township, Belmont County, Ohio, and the enumeration of the family fits with the listing of his legatees as set forth in the will. This census record indicates that David was born between 1781 and 1790. Missing from the enumeration is one of the older daughters, apparently Eliza Jane, who, according to the IGI married Warden Armstrong on 16 March 1837 in Belmont County. David's will lists his legatees as:
"My wife Hannah"
"eldest daughter Eliza Jane Armstrong"
"second daughter Mary Ramage"
"son John" (also named executor)
"son James Crabel Winder" (died 1846 intestate in Belmont County, Ohio)
"daughter Edith Winder"
"daughter Hannah Winder"
"son George Winder"

From David's will it is apparent that he believed that he held title to 80 acres of land in Union Township, but there is no deed confirming such ownership, and the land title was not passed from his estate. David's death is thought to have occurred on or about 30 June 1843, because all the papers found in the estate file bearing a date later than 30 June were made out to his widow as debtor. A civil suit was brought against the estate in September of 1843, and it seems probable that this suit involved the land title, although no record of the suit seems to have survived the years. John Winder, son and executor of the will, apparently could not get the estate of his father settled until 1847, and shortly thereafter he moved to Morgan County, Ohio, in what later became part of Noble County, Ohio.

Los Angeles, California BA-J/MMHF:MLB

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you state that the record of James Winders, B.L. Wt. 48038-120-55, furnished you on May 29, 1933, was not that of the James Winder whose record you seek, and request that the record of Winder James, referred to in that report, be examined to determine the name of his wife and children.

The papers in pension claim, S.C. 16181, based upon service of Winder James have been examined. In those papers the soldier, Winder James, stated that he volunteered in Chillicothe, Ohio, for service in the War of 1812. He served in Captain William Keys' company of Ohio Militia. He stated that he married in 1822, in Ross County, Ohio, Melinda Johnson. In 1850, he was living in Greene County, Ohio, and in 1871 he was a resident of Jamestown, Greene County, Ohio, aged seventy-eight years. He made no reference to children.

Very Truly Yours,
A.D. Hiller
Assistant to Administrator

Hello,
I am a descendant of Clement Winder and Molly Bixler, daughter of Michael and Anna Bixler. I have the same marriage record you are referring to and believe that Clement is positively my 3rd great-grandfather. However, we have not been able to figure out about Magdalene Pixler. On the marriage record, Magdalene's father was Michael Pixler. We believe Michael Pixler and Michael Bixler are one and the same. I have done quite a lot of research on
this matter. We also know and have proof that Clement was living with or next to Michael Bixler's family in 1820. We also have Michael Bixler's Will of 1826 naming his daughter "Molly" as being the wife of Clement Winders. (Somewhere along the way, the letter 's' was added to the Winder name.) We also believe that Magdalene and "Molly" are one in the same.
Clement moved to Ohio around 1827-28, living for a while in Bloom Township, Fairfield Co., and then later in Columbus, Ohio. He had ten children but we have only been able to identify about seven.

Don't know if Darlene told you, but she came across a lady who had a Bible that named Clement as the father of Andrew, one of our great-great grandfather's brothers. We had been 99% sure of who Clement was, but until that break, we couldn't be sure. Then I blitzed about 25 Bixler descendants with letters. One of them responded with a land record that involved the land Molly (Clement's wife) had been willed by her father. The land record named a number of Molly's children, including Andrew and John (our great-great grandfather), thus we finally had proof that John was the son of Clement and Molly.

Subject: Quitclaim Deeds - Children of Clement Winders
Dear Ann: Thanks to the efforts of Louis Bixler, who lives in Virginia and is a Bixler researcher, we were able to document the children of Clement and Molly Bixler Winders, or at least those who were still living in 1874. Apparently, the Winders and Bixlers had lived in an area of Shenandoah County that fell into Page County when it was created in 1831. Michael Bixler's will (proved 8 Oct. 1827, Will Book O, page 168, Shenandoah County, VA) left to "Molly Winders, wife of Clem Winders" a piece of land "whereon John Strickler now lives." To date, we have not found the estate records by which the children inherited this property, but Louis Bixler found quitclaim deeds recorded in Page County in 1874, whereby Owen W. Huff, the husband of Molly and Clement's daughter, Julia Huff, purchased the property of his siblings, then sold the tracts in 1876. The following are the deeds relevant to this transaction:

1. DB R: 306-307, Page Co., VA 28 Sep 1874. Nancy Ann Dixon, daughter & heir of Molly Winders Dec'd and Thomas Dixon her husband, of La Salle Co., IL, Quit Claim to Owen W. Huff for $25 two tracts of land in Page Co., VA.

2. DB R: 308-309, Page Co., VA 12 Dec 1874. Michael Winders and Elizabeth his wife of Licking Co., OH, heirs of Molly Winders, Quit Claim to Owen W. Huff for $25 two tracts of land in Page Co., VA.

3. DB R: 309-311, Page Co., VA 3 Nov 1874. John Winders and Alvira Winders his wife, and Andrew Jackson Winders & M. Catherine his wife, of Burlington, Des Moines Co., Iowa, heirs of Molly Winders Dec'd Quit Claim to Owen W. Huff for $50 two tracts of land in Page Co., VA.

4. Pages 256-258, Record Book unknown, Page Co., VA, recorded by Page Co. Recorder on April 6, 1875, an Indenture from Elizabeth Strickler, "daughter of Molly Winders deceased & widow of Jacob Strickler deceased of Cook County, State of Illinois, party of the first part and Owen W. Huff of the County of Lasalle, State of Illinois," whereby Julia sold Owen her interest in the two tracts for $25.00. The Indenture was made on September 28, 1874.

5.. DB S: 188-190, Page Co., VA 4 Mar 1876. Owen W. Huff and Julia A. Huff, his wife, of LaSalle, IL sold to George Sedwick of Page Co., VA for $400 the same two tracts. This deed names Molly Winders six heirs and children as follows: 1. Michael Winders; 2. John Winders; 3 A.J. Winders (Andrew); 4. Elizabeth Strickler; 5. Nancy Ann Dixon; and 6. Julia A. Huff.

The land description of the two tracts is as follows: First tract - Commencing at the river opposite the mouth of the lane leading from Luray to the ferry thence running through the middle of the lane near the Still House and continuing along to a black oak sapling near the corner of the new field thence on a straight line up to the corner of the school house near the big road, thence down said road to Col. Daniel Strickler's line, thence with said line to the river, thence with the river to the place of beginning. Second tract - Beginning at Strickler's, Stovers and Lichliter's corner running with Lickliters line to the hollow thence up the hollow to the lime Kiln, thence straight from the lime Kiln to the road leading from the Ferry to the furnace, thence straight up to the tract of land whereon John Strickler now lives, thence with this line to the place of beginning, being the same lands bequeathed Michael Bickler deceased to Molly Winders deceased by his last Will & Testament produced & approved by the proper court in & for county of Shenandoah in State of VA on 8 day of Oct. 1827.

Note: These children of Clement and Molly Winders - Michael, John, A.J., Elizabeth, Nancy and Julia - are believed to be the grandchildren of Thomas Winder of Shenandoah County, Virginia, who was the son of James Winder of Washington County, MD, and the grandson of Thomas Winder and Sarah Bull, according to the research of Robert L. Winder. I queried Robert about the documentation that proves Thomas Winder of Shenandoah County to be the same Thomas, son of James, who was identified in the Maryland chancery suit. In Robert's letter to me dated 8 Dec. 1994, Robert states, "Concerning Thomas Winders' relationship as a son of James Winder of Washington County, MD, I am quite sure of that relationship, Deven. The Maryland Chancery Court records from 1804, involving the estate of James Winder of Washington County, mention that Thomas Winder, of Shenandoah County, VA, had deeded his interest in the estate to John Winder, his brother, prior to the chancery suit being brought. As Thomas Winder of Shenandoah County, VA would have had no interest in the estate unless he were a child of James Winder, I accept this is conclusive evidence of the relationship." In addition, my cousin, Darlene Dary, found no Winder(s) families in Shenandoah County in the tax records in the pertinent time frame other than Thomas Winder. We have found in census records and surrounding records of Clem and Molly numerous other children, in addition to the six referenced in the land transactions. It is a puzzle as to who these other children may be.
Regards, Deven

Oct 2009:
Ann:
I don't know if Bob told you, but since writing you last, I discovered an odd thing - g.g.g grandad Clement Winders' wife, Mary Magdalene "Molly" Bixler Winders, was buried in the same plot as one of Robert Jackaway's cousins!
Here's the deal: Molly was buried in Greenlawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio in 1864 in the John Pike Taylor plot. Darlene and I could never figure out why the heck she was buried there - looked high and low for an explanation, but never could find one. The Muncy Diary indicates that Robert Jackaway Winders and Lafayette Winders' parents were Samuel and Catherine Jackaway Winders this Samuel was from Uniontown and died in Short Creek, WV c. 1826 per the Diary - not Samuel and Margaret Burnsides Winder of Germantown). It also gives the names of the children of Robert Jackaway and Mary Tilton and who they all married. According to the diary, one of Catherine Jackaway Winders' sisters was Margaret Jackaway who married Francis Duke. Margaret and Francis Duke had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married Truman Perfect who moved into Licking County, OH. So, Elizabeth Perfect was Robert Jackaway Winders' first cousin.
John Pike Taylor's first wife was Rebecca Perfect, who is buried in the plot. Rebecca's interment card says«u» her parents were Elizabeth and Truman Perfect«/u».
This changed the direction of our thinking (Darlene, Bob and Vicky Helmer and me) towards looking at Thomas of Shenandoah as possibly being married to a Duke or possibly being the father of Samuel Winders. I also recently discovered an article in which Owen Huff, the husband of Julia Winders, says that Julia's father's name was "William" Winders. We know that Molly and Clement were definitely the parents of Julia, so it appears possible that Clement's full name was "William Clement Winders". This would make sense; Clement and Molly'ss son, John, named his first son "William Clemens Winders" (the g.g.grandfather of me and Darlene). Now, we're looking into the possibility that there was actually a generation between Clement and Thomas of Shenandoah, i.e., that perhaps the William Winders who died in 1826 in Fairfield County, OH, was Clement's father; Clement owed him money based on the estate administration.
So, we are furiously trying to find answers. Peter Brand is coming in to see Jean the end of the month, and I was hoping we'd have some answers for them, but I doubt we'll be able to solve this puzzle any time soon.
Just wanted to give you an update. What started out to be recreational genealogy re Robert Jackaway Winders has turned into a search for far more! Also, I wondered about the DNA - your family test was a perfect match to Bob's, as I recall, while ours was a bit "off", but similar. Could having another generation between Clement and Thomas cause the DNA difference?
Regards,
Deven

Letter from Linda Eaton: "...This is my husband's side of the family. They settled in Greene County, Indiana. It is in the southern part of the state. It looks alot like Coshocton, Ohio. Several different branches came from Coshocton. We believe our Henderson Winder was born in 1813 or 1814. He married Charity Meek on April 18, 1833...
"When Henderson died his brother we assume was the executor of his estate. I am enclosing that document..."

May 27th 1865 Received of George Winder the property inventoried in Henderson Winders, my late husbands estate in toto it being mine under the 300 dollar law. (signed) Charity Winder.

James and all,
I read with interest your message on the Descendants of Henderson Winder. Henderson is on the 1840 census of Fallsbury Township, Licking County, OH. The census shows the following:
Males - age 0-5=2 [1835-1840];
age 5-10=2 [1830-1835];
age 20-30=1 [1810-1820]
Females - age 0-5=1 [a835-1840];
age 20-30=1 [1810-1820]

I have often thought that Henderson may be related to my Winder(s) ancestor, Mary Winders, b: 16 September 1803 in Shenandoah County, VA, d: 24 June 1883 in Fallsbury Township, Licking County, OH married in 1820, probably Licking County, OH to George Shrake, b: 26 May 1801 in Belmont County, OH, d: 08 June 1877 in Fallsbury Township, Licking County, OH.

A James Winders, b. abt. 1785, is listed in the 1820 census of Perry Township, Licking County, OH (note: Fallsbury Twp. was formed from the northern part of Perry Twp. in 1826). The 1820 census shows the following:
Males - age 0-10=3 [1810-1820];
age 10-16=1 [1804-1810];
age 26-45=1 [1775-1794]
Females - age 0-10=1 [1810-1820];
age 16-26=1 [1794-1804]

This James Winders according to the book, "Fallsbury Township, Licking County, Ohio - The First Settlers, (1815-1830)" by Gary Finckel, 20 Nov. 1990, married Lucy Taylor, d/o John Taylor Sr. and wife, Freelove (last name unknown). John Taylor resided just north of Fallsbury Twp, Licking County, OH in Coshocton County. Lucy Winders is named as a daughter in John Taylor Sr.'s will dated 17 March, 1824 and probated 4 Nov., 1824 in Coshocton County, OH. James Winders and the John Taylor family came from Pennsylvania according to Mr. Finckel. James Winder is not in the 1830 census of Licking County but according to Mr. Finckel's book he paid personal property taxes in 1833. Mr. Finckel states that Henderson Winders is the son of this James Winders. James Winders either died in the 1830's or left the area.

If anyone can connect James Winders or Henderson Winder(s) with my ancestor Mary Winder(s), I would be most interested in the information. James, hope some of this helps with your research.
