Notes |
- According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
John Winder, born 25 June 1814 in Fayette County, PA, married Martha A. Daniels at an unknown date, and after the settlement of his father's estate moved to Morgan County, Ohio (later Noble County, Ohio by a change of boundaries in 1851). John and Martha apparently spent their entire lives from 1847/48 in what became Olive Township in Noble County. John was a farmer during his entire active life. He died on 22 May 1894 in Olive Township, and was buried there in Sharon Cemetery. He and Martha became charter members of the Caldwell Baptist Church upon its organization in 1861. According to his death certificate, John Winder died of "paralysis". Martha Daniels Winder was born in 1823 in Uniontown, PA, the daughter of Bernard Daniels (Dannels) and Jane Parshall Daniels. She died at Caldwell, Ohio on 31 August 1898, and her death record gave her age as 75 years. At the time of her death she was survived by a brother, Nelson B. Dannels of Menallen Township, Fayette County, PA. A second brother, Henry or Harlan, died in Grand Island, Nebraska about the same time as Martha died.

Subject: John Winder, Guardian of Robert Jackaway Winder
I believe I am now prepared to hypothesize that the guardian of Robert J. was the John Winder [snip]. This John was a grandson of James Winder "of Redstone", and that may strengthen a belief that Robert Jackaway Winder's father, Samuel, may also have been a son of James Winder of Redstone. This John Winder was the only one I found in the 1840 census in Fayette County. His age fits with his birthdate from his grave marker out in Ohio, and the fact that he married his wife, who was from Fayette Co., before he moved to Ohio. Only catch is - Robert was not in his household in 1840 ! Even then I reckon Robert Jackaway Winder was a bit of a wild boy, eh?
No facts, ma'am, just suppositions!
