  • Notes 
    • If you are researching this Winder line you might be interested in the
      following:

      In the 1930's one project of the WPA was to interview people who were
      pioneers of their state. On 5 Nov 1937 William Hugh Winder was interviewed at his home in Hulbert Oklahoma. He was 80 years old. The interview is
      fifteen pages long and is archived in the University of Oklahoma's western
      history collections, Pioneer Papers, Volume 99. I obtained a copy from the
      LDS collection through a local Family History Center, microfiche 6016964.

      William states:
      Born 22 Oct 1857 in Montgomery county Missouri near Wellsville
      Father Swinnie Turner Winder born Bowling Green Kentucky
      Mother Elizabeth Jane Clampet born Alabama and died Tahlequah Oklahoma
      around 1912 at the age of 75y1m
      Father served in the Civil War 3y and 6m and was injured at Moore's Mill but
      never was paid a pension

      The interview focuses on William and his wife's move from Missouri to the
      Tahlequah area of Oklahoma in 1884. There are no further genealogical
      statistics except the mention of a cousin "Stone". However, it is a
      wonderfully interesting account of a young couple venturing through the
      winderness by themselves and the town of Tahlequah in the year 1884.
