Joshua Winder was born in Muskingum County, Ohio about the year 1825. Eliza Glass was born in Ohio, about the year 1825. These are my great-grandparents. This is all the information I have on their backgrounds. Joshua was in the Civil War and I received all his information from the goverment but he did not have the information sheet telling about him. This is my brick wall. I know Joshua died 27 July 1896, because of the GAR record. I do not know where he died, I believe in Tecumseh, IN, nor do I know where he is buried. Eliza died 13 Feb 1869 and is buried in Hay Cemetery, Tecumseh, IN. Joshua had a second wife. Elizabeth Tennis Barnett Winder, she died 22 Dec 1903, I know this from the Civil War pension she was receiving. I believed she died in Tecumseh, IN. also but I can not find where she is buried, I hope she and Josua are buried together and if I find one I will find the other. Joshua had 11 children: James M., Chauncey, A.B.(male), John Wesley, Lucy, Alonzo, M.(girl), Calvin G., Laura, all with Eliza his first wife. Elizabeth and Joshua had Emma and Annie. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for telling me where they (Joshua and his second wife Elizabeth) were buried, Sheperds Cemetery, Sheperdsville, IN. Joshua and Eliza had 11 children that I know of. Some of Joshua's Children changed their names to Winters. I would like to find Joshua's relatives, as I know nothing about his parents or any brothers or sisters. I believe Eliza Glass might also have some relatives in these parts. There was a Rebecca Glass that married a Alphurs Winters. Any help would be appreciated.
According to Robert L. Winder (Apr 2007):
I checked down the line in the census, and note that Joshua Winters[sic] is in the 1850 census in Census District #21, Vermilion County, Illinois, family #1291. That is very interesting to me, because I seem to have several Winder folks there descended from John Winder, who moved into Ohio in 1797. In 1850 Joshua and Eliza's children are listed as James, age 5, born Ohio, and Chancey, age 1, born Ohio. Johua was still in the census in 1860, with the children as shown in Winder Wonderland, but then he was living in Perry Topwnship, Lawrence Co., IN, occupation farm laborer.
In the 1870 Census I found three of James and Eliza's children living with Chancey White, blacksmith, and his family in Posey Township, Clay Co., IN, post office Center Point household/family # 124/124. Chancey White was 62m born in NY, as was his wife (or sister), Rosina, age 67, who was the housekeeper. Wesley Winder, 17, Jane Winder 11, and Chancey Winder, 22. According to the census record Chancey was born in Ohio, while Wesley and Jane - [snip] [identified as Mary Jane Winder, daughter of Alpheus and Rebecca] - are listed as having been born in Indiana.
There was a Quaker settlement in Vermilion County, Ill, but I don't know its exact location. Maybe Henshaw's works can shed some light on that. I am also thinking that there may have been some Indian land opened to settlement by whites around 1840 or a bit later along the Vermilion River in Ill and Indiana.
Ann Winder, Oct 2009: The 1860 Federal Census for Perry, Lawrence Co, IN shows Joshua Winders as head of household, age 26. Also in the household are James M. Winders aged 14 and Chauncy Winders, aged 10. I doubt that Joshua was the father of these two. Indeed, James M Winders and Chauncy Winders claim to be BROTHERS of Alfred Winders providing affidavits for Alfreds pension funds. Therefore, I am changing these two to be sons of James and Lucinda.
