52	"History of Columbiana County, Ohio: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers" by Horace Mack publ. by Unigraphic, 1879 in Columbiana County, Ohio p. 156 a free Google eBook, available at books.google.com The township of Hanover, numbered 15, in range 4, is one of the townships of Columbiana which still retain the originally fixed territory of six miles square. It is bounded on the north by Butler township, on the south by Franklin township and Carroll County, on the east by Centre township, and on the west by West township. Within its limits are five villages, to wit, Hanover, New Garden, Gillford, Dungannon, and Kensington, the latter being a station on the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad, which crosses the southwest corner of the township. The surface of the country is undulating and to the eye of the tourist offers many inviting prospects. Hanover, with the townships of Knox, Butler, and West, forms a portion of the "divide" between the waters of the Ohio and those of Lake Erie. The altitude of the valley reaches five hundred feet above the lake level, and still above the valley rise numerous hills, in height varying from one hundred to two hundred feet. Coal is plentiful in this region, but is not mined except for home demand, the greater part of the coal mined being taken out at Kensington depot. The west fork of the Little Beaver Creek flows through the township southward along the eastern border, and emerges at section 25. The climate is healthful and invigorating, and, particularly among the hills, is conducive to extreme longevity. EARLY SETTLEMENT In 1802, Wm. Winder, afterwards, in 1810, a member of the Society of Friends moved from Virginia, with his wife and seven children, into Columbiana Co., Ohio, and settled in East Fairfield. Thence, in 1806, he passed over to Hanover township and located upon a tract of land in section 33 now occupied by Mrs. Isabella McAllister. Winder resided there until his death in 1828. Of his children, Benjamin, a worthy and prominent member of the Society of Friends, resides near Hanover village in his eighty-second year. Rachel Arnold, a daughter, aged ninety, lives in Washington Co., Ohio; and in Carroll County reside Joseph and William, two sons. Mr. Winder's land was entered by John Edgar, who was, however, not a settler. Winder had no near neighbors on the south; his nearest was Andrew Milburn, of Virginia, who located near where the railroad station at Kensington stands. Milburn was a doctor, shoemaker, carpenter, and farmer and quite a useful man in the settlement. Wm. Rhodes, also of Virginia, was a settler upon section 32, and occupied a farm now the property of Nathan John. Samuel Reeder lived on section 33, near Wm. Winder; and next east of the latter, Benjamin Stackhouse was a settler upon property now occupied by the widow of Cassimer Gaus. The only settlers in his neighborhood, when William Winder located in Hanover, were Stackhouse, Milburn, and Rhodes; the others named and to be named came in directly thereafter.

53	"Mary Frances Decious married Hosea Aboin Bronson. They lived in Milford, on Mill Street, a house below Joe Wemple. I was born there April 19, 1874... After father died (1879), mother (Mary Frances) sold the blacksmith shop to Ed Bieglew. We moved to the William Raker ranch, Mother's stepfather... Later on she married William Sifford. He rented the George Raker ranch and their first son died at 6 months. Sifford later bought the ranch joining the William Raker ranch. " Reminiscences of Pearl Martha Bronson Wemple.

55	"Page 318 is not available in preview mode" so we start in at the top of p. 319 ....Winders' father was John Winders, Jr. who was born in 1755 in Duplin County, NC. His father, John Winders Sr., owned close to 1000 acres in Duplin County on the north side of Goshen Swamp on the heads of the Mill Branch at the mouth of Hall's Marsh. John Se. was married to Miss Bright in 1729. They had the following children: john Jr (born 1755), Sarah (born 1759), Barshaba (born 1761), James (born 1762), Catherine (born 1764), Zilpha (born 1766), Edward (born 1767), Nancy Ann (born 1768) and Elizabeth (born 1773). (Currently, the rest of the Winders family history is being researched by ancestor [sic, probably means 'descendant'], Phyllis Winders Bowman of Pennsylvania. It is believe that the Winders came to Virginia in the 1600s.)	WINDERS, John (I13518)

57	((story evidently ran on the national wire services, so it really has nothing to do with Iowa)) GETS $100,000 FOR SAVING LIFE. W i d o w W i l l Come Into Legacy as Result of Presence of Mind. Mrs. Hattie Carhart Winders, a young widow living with her parents in Edinburg, N. J., will shortly come into a legacy of $100,000 as a reward for having saved the life of a young man in a runaway seven years ago. For more than a year agents of the estate of William H. Anderson in England have been searching in America for Mrs. Winders. They finally located her through an advertisement. The story of the accident, which she believes was the cause of the bequest in his father's will, she told as follows: "One evening Mr. Anderson took me to Princeton. As we were leaving for home he had a sudden seizure and toppled back in the carriage. The horse ran away while I was trying to arouse him. Finally I got hold of the reins and brought the horse under control!"	CARHART, Hattie (I25482)
58	(Medical):Aaron Winder died of meales, of which he had always had a great dread, and which disease he contracted while visiting a friend. This friend, aware of the fear he entertained, on seeing Aaron Winder driving towards the house, held a family council, at which it was hastily decided to admit him, but not to inform him of the facts until dinner was over. When the meal was ended, he was told of the condition of affairs, upon which he pushed back his plate, saying, "I am a dead man." He was buried in the old stone graveyard on the hill near Yardleyville. The disease violently attacked several others of the family, who were for this reason unable to attend the funeral.

76	(Research): Christopher F. Winder brianvhendrix (brianvhendrix@mac.com) I have proven that Christopher F. Winder, who you have listed as born in North Carolina in 1787, was in fact Christopher Feigenwinter, born in 1792 in Salisbury, North Carolina to Christoph and Barbara Feigenwinter. His father Christoph was a Swiss soldier drafted in Reinach, Switzerland, and brought to the colonies to fight the Americans during the Revolution. He deserted and started a family in Salisbury. His son Christopher fought in the War of 1812 under the name Christopher F. Winter and later moved to the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, where he adopted the name Winder. He ended up in the Republic of Texas where he today has hundreds of descendants. CF Winder had at least one brother, Henry Figen Winter, who has descendants in Arkansas and Texas as well. Please update the entries on the Winder Wonderland with this information, if you would. I will be happy to provide documentation as requested. Everything I have is on my Hendrix Family Tree on Ancestry.com, username Brian Hendrix Thanks, Brian Hendrix Houston, Texas Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2014 17:02:07 -0400 From: Kathleen Boyett Thank you for responding! Due to results from an autosomal test, I am wondering if the Winder name (supposedly from Switzerland in my case) could have morphed from a more Slavic name as people moved westward. I don't have another good candidate for a surname that could have come from Eastern Europe, and I had a small % match in that area. I am guessing that my German-speaking Winders and the English Winders don't have anything to do with each other DNA-wise. Rootsweb has been down this week and I have not been able to look at the site, but one thing I remember was that persistent idea of Gennete (spelling on Census), the wife of Christopher F. (no documented evidence of his name being Figan) having the maiden name of McFadden. (1st known generation in America) I have never seen where that came from, but my only aunt, who did some considerable research, had that name in her notes as well. She had C.F.'s son Peter with the name "Peter McFadden Christopher Winder." His grave marker merely saying "P.M.C. Winder" has not helped any researchers on the internet, that's for sure. Find-A-Grave has his name as Peter Mock Christopher, of all things. Well, LEGALLY that cannot be so. If Gennete's last name was indeed given as a middle name to son Peter, then her surname was McCartney. If that name is suggested on a tree, it should have a note with "unproven" by it. Two different legal proofs, Peter Winder Jr's death certificate, and the birth certificate of Peter Jr's daughter Nannie Mae, both give his middle name as McCartney. (Her sister Keren corrected it in 1962 - Nannie had been taken home without being named.) Son Dewey's death cert, his wife as informant, had "Mock" as the middle name, without the Christopher. That is a typo for "Mac" because he was called Uncle Mac by everyone. All the men in this era went by their middle names - daughter Biddie Irene's husband Curtis Eugene went by Gene; daughter Nannie Mae's husband Floyd Jesse went by Jesse; and father Peter Winder went by Mac instead of McCartney. So, the names of Peter Sr and Jr should be changed to reflect this, and Gennete should not be given the name McFadden. I am also not certain of the immigration record proposed to be Christopher Winder's. The man was 19 years old, a baker from Worms, sailed from Rotterdam and arrived PA in Sept 1816. That would make him born in 1797. That is rather late to match any of the Census records for him (6-10 years, but still possible, of course), plus C.F. was a blacksmith. Baker and blacksmith use rather different skills. And what about the Census records where he or someone in the household said every time that he was born in N or S Carolina? Only one, when he was in his eighties, said he was foreign born (Switzerland). I would imagine that was where he thought his Parents were born and he misunderstood the question. That is also the Census where he gave his name as Stofel instead of Christopher. Another correction you should make is that Stofel is not his actual name. It is not a second middle name to be added to the rest of his name. Stophel or Stofel is an affectionate name, a nickname, for Christopher in German. If that name is listed on a tree at all, it should be in quotes where people can tell that it was just a nickname. Christopher F. "Stofel" Winder, perhaps. Since I cannot see the site, that is all I remember right now. I think that was everything anyway. After one does so much research, it starts getting maddening seeing all the mistakes everywhere on the internet for all one's surnames. You correct one place and another incorrect thing pops up somewhere else. That is just the way it goes! Thank you, Kathleen Note from Ann Winder, Jul 2014: The Figan name seems to have continued on to Henry Figan Winder, as per his birth certificate, so I am leaving this unproven part of his name in place for the time being.	WINDER, Christopher Figen (I16783)
77	(Research): From Goodspeed's Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Northeastern Arkansas Lawrence County, D through G (http://www.couchgenweb.com/lawrence/law-defg.htm) Jesse P. Gibbens, farmer and stock raiser, of Spring River Township, was born in Rowan County, N. C., January 11, 1831. He is a son of John and Patsy (Winders) Gibbens, of the same State, who moved to the State of Tennessee, about the [p.790] year 1836, and settled in Shelby County, on a farm where they resided until 1846, and then changed their home for one in Lawrence County, Ark. Jesse P. Gibbens remained with his father, until he reached his majority, in this county, which was also about the time of the elder Gibbons' death, and then went back to Tennessee. After an absence of three years he returned, and was married in Lawrence County, in 1861, to Miss Mary J. Hamrich, of Tennessee, a daughter of John Hamrich. Mr. Gibbens had cleared up and improved his farm before his marriage, and he now owns 140 acres of valuable land, with over 100 acres ready for cultivation, besides having a small but select orchard and a comfortable house. In 1862 he enlisted in the Confederate army, and joined Col. Baber's regiment, serving until the final surrender. He took part in a number of sharp skirmishes at close quarters, and was always to the front in battle. He was paroled at Jacksonport, June 5, 1865, and returned home to his farm work and a more peaceful life. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbens have one daughter, the wife of F. Lee, a resident of Lawrence County. They are lovers of children, and have reared eight orphans to maturity, and started them in life with the exception of one. Both Mr. Gibbens and his wife are members of the Missionary Baptist Church, and the former a member of Rock Cave Lodge No. 847, A. F. & A. M. They are well known for their benevolence and generosity, and are highly esteemed by their neighbors.	GIBBENS, Jesse P. (I25030)

83	(Research): From: bill07tkn@aim.com Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 1:50 PM I would appreciate any information you may have on John Winder/Winters (16941/26800) connection to James Winders (111). What I have from Ruth is that John's (16941) daughter Mary's (23249) husband Johnathan Ward, was named guardian for James M Winder(s)' (23198) children. He was the son of Joshua Winder (11022) the son of James (111) and Lucy. Per Civil War papers on James M, Johnathan Ward gave a statement that Mary was a cousin to James M (that would be her first cousin). Also a John Winders/Winters gave a statement about Joshua Winders for his Civil War pension, stating he had known Joshua before Joshua had married his first wife Elizabeth Glass (m 1843). John was also in a court case with Henderson Winder and John Winder vs Severs and Buxton in Fallsbury Twp, Licking Co OH around 1847. John's first wife, Arabella Riley's apparent family was from there and John and Arabella were probably married there. Although these facts are not definitive proof of their sibling relationship, I am as confident as possible without a baptism or birth record. The 1880 Fayette twp, Vigo Co, IN census shows my John Winters (16941) lived in dwelling 90; Johnathan Ward dwelling 96 and Joshua Winters (11022) dwelling 100. The John's (26800 + 16941) are tied together as one person via a photo that Sara F. (Freelove's) (23252) grandson had that showed what was termed his great grandfather John with his second wife (Harriet) along with Sara (23252) and Mary (23249). It is the same photo that I was given, though cropped, by John and Harriet's granddaughter showing her grandparents. Finally, I updated Ruth on the John Winder/Winters family last fall. Briefly, John's (16941) second marriage to Harriet "Retherford" (06 Apl 1870) used his Winder name and it later morphed to Winters. What is interesting to note is that Charles Winder (25972) is the only one of his six children that lived to maturity from his second marriage that used the Winder name. My understanding is that he found out what the name used to be and he changed back or kept it. As he apparently was somewhat into his family history, perhaps he used the "White" name for Harriet's maiden name because he heard the name as being a family name. (Chancy White (8433)). Of the four other children that married, only my great grandmother got it right \endash Harriet Cole (Rutherford was Harriet's married name). Winder Wonderland has added John as a son of James Winders and Lucinda Taylor because of the work of Bill Taken, great great grandson of John: From: bill07tkn@aim.com CC: jmlwinder@gmail.com; annwinder@outlook.com Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2014 Here are the connections, or "hooks", of John Winder to James Winders that give me confidence that he is his son. John Winder was born in Ohio about 1817 based on his gravestone. The 1820 census for Perry Twp, Licking Co, OH for James Winders and, I believe Lucinda, reflects 3 males under 10. The ages of Henderson, Thomas and John fit these males. A 1999 e-mail from Bill Johns to Deven, stated in part: "a West Carlisle Ledger from Brown and Seevers General Store, 1837 through 1840 was published in the Kinsman Courier, the quarterly publication of the Coshocton County, Ohio Genealogical Society, Volume V, Number 3, 1982, page 65-68. Among those patrons listed are: Winder, Henderson; Winder, James; Winders, John; Winders, Thomas and several Taylor names." He married his first wife Arabella Riley 01 Oct 1841 in Licking Co, OH \endash officiating was JG Boughman. This was most probably in Fallsburg Twp, Licking Co as Arabella's family probably lived there as her parents are buried in Fallsburg Cemetery. Per an e-mail from Ruth Boyles: "In Joshua's (Civil War) pension file, John Winters gave a statement that he had known Joshua before Joshua had married his first wife Eliza Glass. This was for Joshua's second wife to get his pension after he had died." Joshua's first marriage was no later than 1844 \endash the year of the birth of Joshua's first known son, James M. One of Henderson's children was named Arabella (b1844); not a too common name so may have been named after John's wife. In another Bill Johns memo he stated: "copies of records of the Justice of the Peace Docket for Fallsbury Township from 26 Nov., 1845 to 06 Dec., 1847 and found several mentions of H. and Henderson Winder(s). One of these records is a suit of Severs & Buxton vs. John Winder and Henderson Winder." Per a Ruth Boyles e-mail, Joshua's son James M had made Jon Ward guardian of his children to get his Civil War pension when he died. James M. Winders' pension file has a statement by Jonathan Ward that his wife Mary is cousin of James M. Winders. Mary is John Winder and Arabella Riley's daughter. I personally reviewed Alpheus Winder's Civil War pension papers. Included in that document is a sworn statement from Jonathan Ward: "My wife (Mary) is a first cousin to these claimants" referring to Alpheus' children. John's gravestone is about 20 feet from his brother Joshua's gravestone in Shepherd Cemetery, Vigo Co, IN. Regards Bill	WINDER, John (I16941)

Submitted by Christine Grimes Thacker CGT714@aol.com Paul Bledsoe names Joseph Winders as the father of John Winders, rather than John Winders.«tab» From: "Ben Herron" Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2000 1:43 PM Does anyone have any information on the Winders of North Carolina? John Winders m. Ann Bright. He and his brother-in law Stephen Herring are mentioned in the will of William Bright of Dulpin Co. NC 1762. Stephen Herring's grandsons Bright Grooms and Stephen Herring Grooms married Catherine (1791-1862) and Winifred Winders (1791-after 1850). I think Catherine and Winifred's father was John Winders but I have not connected them to the John Winders who married Ann Bright. (We are descended from both Bright and Catherine and Stephen and Winifred. Second cousins did more than kiss.) The Grooms boys liked to keep moving. Their parents moved from Dulpin Co., NC to GA just before they were born. Bright and Stephen moved to middle TN around the War of 1812. Bright married Catherine in Davidson Co., TN in 1813 then moved to Todd Co., KY after the war. Winifred and Stephen were married around 1816 and also moved to Todd Co.. There were other Winders in Todd Co. but I have not connected them. In the 1820's they moved to Weakley Co., TN. Stephen died in 1833. Winifred stayed in Weakley Co. but during the 1850's Bright and Catherine moved on to Texas where they died in 1862. Bright was planning on moving farther west when they died. Ben Herron Bristol, TN From: Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 4:59 PM Hi, I'm having a hard time trying to sort out the WINDERS, NEWS, HERRINGS, BRIGHTS and GROOMS/CROOM. I am hoping you can help me. I am trying to confirm that Winiford WINDERS and Catherine WINDERS are daughters of John WINDERS Jr. and Tabitha NEW. I noticed you didn't have them on the list that I read. Name; Winiford WINDERS DOB: Abt. 1800 (based on 1850 census), possibly KY Married: Stephen Herring GROOMS of N.C. abt. 1816/17, son of Elijah CROOM Died: abt. 1850 Weakley County, Tennessee Note: Susan C. GROOM, daughter, was located in Carroll County, Tn on 1850 census, living with A.H. NEW, age 52 from N.C. Susan was listed as age 18. Name: Catherine WINDERS DOB: 1791 N.C. Married; Bright M. GROOMS of N.C., brother of Stephen, Aug 17, 1813 in Tn. Died: 1862 Bowie County, Texas NOTE; These two families were in Todd County, KY by 1823 or maybe earlier where other WINDERS had settled. About 1826, they both moved to Weakley County, Tennessee and purchased land.

To the Honorable the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina The petition of John Winders of Duplin county humbly Sheweth: That your petitioner intermarried in August 1799 with a certain Martha Turnage, with whom he lived until December 1800, when without cause on his part, a Seperation took place between them, that his wife of her own free will, left him, and by all means in her power has, and yet continues to injure him, both in property and reputation, by doing the most mischeovous and ill intended things her mind is capable of Suggesting. Under these considerations, he prays your honorable body, will take his case into consideration and grant him relief by passing a Law, securing to him his property, which she is greatly lessening, and to her such as she has or may hereafter acquire, or such other relief as may by you be thought proper and just, and he as in duty bound will pray &c John Winders _______ A Bill for the relief of John Winders of Duplin County Whereas it is represented to this General Assembly, that Martha Winders wife of John Winders of Duplin County, hath of her own free will left her Husband, to his great distress and manifest injury. Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this act, the said John Winders shall not be answerable for any debt hereafter contracted by the said Martha his wife; nor shall the said Martha Winders have any right or title of dower, or otherwise, in any estate of the said John Winders, or which he may hereafter acquire.

On reverse: A Bill for the relief of John Winders of Duplin County. In Senate Novem'r 26th 1801. Read & refered to the Committee of divorce and alimony By order M. Stokes, clk In the House of Commons 27 Nov'r 1801 read & ref'd by the Senate By order J Hunt Mr. Watkins From: Charowalk@cs.com Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 7:49 AM [snip] I would be interested if anybody can find any proven information about the origin of my John Winders who died ca 1805 in Duplin Co., N.C. Without better proof I cannot accept him as a son of the John Winder (without the "S") of Maryland. So I think we are up against the same brick wall with our John Winder of Duplin Co., N.C. that you are with your Winder ancestor. I have to admit that I have not had the chance yet to study all the records in North Carolina such as Christine Thacker has, but I just don't think she has enough information to make that leap to the Winder family in Maryland. She may be right but I just don't see the connection yet. Sincerely, Johnny D. Walker Hermitage, Tennessee	WINDERS, John (I13518)

But I've tracked one Winders back who might be the oldest in the Rowan records - an Epenetus Winders. His estate was probated in Rowan County, NC - there's an accounting of his estate dated November 23, 1821. A George "Parke" was the administrator (he may be the same George Parke who married Betsy Winders there in 1813; their bondsman was Henry C. Winders, who was probaby the same Henry C. Winders who was the administrator of the estate of a Fanny Winders probated in Salisbury in 1846). Because of the unusual name "Epenetus", I'm assuming he is the same Epenetus who shows up in Halifax Co., VA records in 1787, apparently moved just over the line into Person Co., NC by the 1800 census, and then on to Rowan sometime before his death in 1821. Based on the 1800 census, Epenetus was born 1756 to 1774, but considering the record I found from 1787, my guess is he was born closer to 1756 - 1765. Deven 9/17/2012 First, I found a marriage record in Halifax: «b»June 29, 1789 Chambers, Fany and Winders, Ep«/b» I believe this is Fanny Chambers and Epenetus Winders, and I think Fanny is the Fanny Winders in the 1820 census for Rowan Co., NC, i.e., Epenetus may have died in 1820, estate accounting I found was recorded in 1821, George Parke administrator. Probably the same Epenetus in Person Co., NC in 1800 census, then apparently in Rowan Co., NC before 1810: Rowan County, NC 3 Dec 1807, Book 21, page 506: JOHN A CHAPMAN - no wife signs - lets Casper Freedie (both of Rowan Co NC) have 150 acres on both sides of Swearing Creek next the tract of 310 acres for $785.00, witnessed by «b»Ep.Winders«/b» and John Thomas and proved by the latter in May 1809. (This is land of deceased Joseph Cunningham Sr.) Epenetus MIGHT have been related to, maybe a son of, an Adam Winders who apparently married widow Elizabeth Chandler Bilbo c. 1752. I figure Epenetus to have been born between 1756 and 1765. I found a marriage record for Adam and Elizabeth's daughter Reform Winders to Henry Boyd on Aug 14, 1786, says bride's mother was Elizabeth Winders and bride's father was Adam Winders. This is corroborated by an accounting of John Peter Bilbo's estate: http://www.spiers.net/mstree/note_1217.htm: "John Peter Bilbo November 15, 1750. An account current of the estate of John Peter Bilbo, deceased, was returned by Elizabeth Bilbo Winders, administratrix and recorded on November 8, 1752. Elizabeth Bilbo had married Adam Winders shortly before November 8, 1752. Remember Elizabeth Bilbo married Adam Winders withen the year after John Peter Bilbo's death. The following deed transaction in Mecklenburg County Virginia is found in Book 4, page 398. Adam Winders of Halifax County, Virginia, Planter, and Elizabeth, his wife, relict of John Peter Bilbo, convey to Joseph Bilbo of Mecklenburg County the life estate in land left to Elizabeth by John Peter Bilbo, being right and dower of Elizabeth Winders." Apparently Elizabeth died before 1788 and Adam married Mary Douglass, Dec. 6, 1788, Halifax Co., VA. This all comes together in the following record: 0581DB 1784-17901788Halifax17-MayByrdlinesReed CreekWilliam Douglas Sr and Thomas Douglas Sr of H to John Douglas of H for 100# 2 tracts on the n side of Dan on branches of Reed Creek adj each other. William «b»Doughass's«/b» tract contains 92 acres and Thomas about 42 acres and jointly bounded by Thomas «b»Douglass,«/b» David Boyd, William Younger, Byrd's old line, Adam Winders, containing 132 acres. signed, wit «b»Adam Winders«/b», «b»Hope Winders«/b», Henry Boyd, Faith Winders. rec «b»Oct 26 1789.«/b» What was astounding was seeing the name «b»Faith Winders«/b» in this record. Could she be «b»Faithy Winders«/b»? Remember, John P. Winders (father of Elizabeth Ann Winders, Henry Hampton Winders, et al) was the executor of the Faithy Winders will in Rowan Co., NC in 1833. It had been suggested to me that the Faithy Parks of the will might have been first married to a Winders, then to a Park. Faithy was apparently not related to John P. Winders as she refers to him in her Will as her "friend".We may have an Adam Winders namesake in Rowan Co., NC - we have an Adam C. Winders aka A.C. Winders (born NC c. 1801) in Rowan Co., NC with crossover records - he is receipted for a note in the will accounting of «b»Fanny Winders «/b»in 1846 for whom Henry C. Winders was executor and witnessed the Ann Dent will; she was the great grandmother of William Taylor Dent who married Mary E. Winders, apparent daughter of John P. Winders.

Then (I think) they went to Hamilton Twp., New Jersey (yes, the Hamilton Twp that's in the news right now) and got their son John married off to Pheobe in 1820; that left them with two daughters, Hannah and one other. Warren and Martha don't show up again in the census until 1830 as Winter(s) in Turbot Twp., Northumberland Co, PA, with one daughter, not Hannah. Hannah is married to John Vough of the Montoursville, Lycoming, PA area by late 1820's. Then in 1840 they (Warren and Martha) are found in Forks Twp., Lycoming (now Sullivan Co.), PA, with the one daughter and a couple of young children, who I assume belong to the unknown daughter or to Hannah who is now remarried (John Vough was executed for horse-theft rumor has it) to Jeffrey Clark. Then Warren and Martha never show up again in any census. By 1840 it states that he is between 80-90 and she, 70-80. Census records state that Warren and Martha's children were born in PA, probably in Washington Co. 1840 census 1 male 5-9 (1831-1835) 1 male 80-89 (1751-1760) Warren 1 female 5-9 (1831-1835) 1 female 30-39 (1801-1810) 1 female 70-79 (1761-1770) Martha	WINDER, Warren (I16016)

Basil Brashear was the Second Major of the Regiment, and Samuel Winders was an Ensign in the 3rd Company under Captain "Barwick" (Barak) Brashear. At that time, the only Winders family to which we might connect this Samuel was the James Winders-Elizabeth Grable family. This Samuel Winders has not been found to date in the tax records of Fayette County or surrounding counties, however, some tax records from the period are missing. No other evidence of a Samuel Winders has been found in Fayette County until a Samuel Winders appears in the 1820 census of Fayette County, PA, age over 45 (thus born before 1775); if this is the same Samuel, he could have been in the range of 20 years old when serving in the Militia, thus married and having children in Pennsylvania in the 1790s.
