  According to Robert L. Winder (sep 2000): Chelnessa Winder, born 17 January 1813, probably in Harrison County, Ohio. She married John Gandy on 5 October 1835 in Guernsey County, Ohio, and they remained in Freeport Ohio, in western Harrison County. The Gandy's managed a hotel in Freeport for many years. Their children are reported to have been James, Elizabeth, Caroline, Sarah J., Alonzo, Clayton, Daniel, and Franklin Gandy, The 1850 census lists the family of John Gandy as follows, in Freeport, Harrison County: John Gandy, 48, MW, Potter, born Maryland Chilnissa Gandy, 36, FW, born Ohio James Gandy, 13, MW, born Ohio Mary E, Gandy, 12, FW, born Ohio Caroline Gandy, 10, FW, born Ohio Sarah L.

John Gandy bought lot #104 in Freeport on 27 October 1829, and sold that same lot to David Winder on 7 December 1844. John Gandy died on 7 November 1862, while Chelnessa was living at the age of 77, according to a local history of Harrison County, and at that age all her children except Franklin had died. Franklin Gandy, born 5 November 1854 in Freeport, Ohio, continued to live there, becoming a dealer in groceries and provisions in 1881. He married Minnie Williams of Freeport on 11 September 1884, but there are no known children by this marriage.
