  • Notes 
    • According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
      David Winder, born 4 April 1820, died 21 June 1881. Hannah's Historical Collections of Harrison County states that Anne Holliday, daughter of Robert Holliday and Elizabeth White, married David Winder in 1846, but this marriage was not found in the Harrison County, Ohio marriage records. David and Anne Holliday Winder moved to Louisa County, Iowa before 1850, where they resided the rest of their lives.

      Daniel Winder's father, James Winder of Redstone Township, Fayette County, PA had purchased through the Steubensville, Ohio Land Office, on 27 January 1806, by Certificate #2111, the NW ΒΌ of Section 12, Township 11, Range 7, which land lies immediately east and north of the center of the present town of Freeport, Ohio. On 20 October 1813, James Winder deeded this entire quarter-section of land to his son, Daniel Winder. Later deed records show sales of parts of this quarter-section by Daniel and his wife Mary. Daniel sold 2.5 acres to the trustees of the Nottingham Friends Meeting, the land now occupied by Greenmont Cemetery (Deed Book B, page 523). It may be that this sale of land to the Quakers was somehow the inspiration for Hanna's claim, in his Historical Collections above-mentioned, that Daniel Winder was a charter member of the Nottingham Meeting. No evidence has been found to support this claim of Hanna's. Daniel Winder's father was not a Quaker, and the only one of his children known to have become a Quaker was Daniel's sister Elizabeth, who was received into the Smithfield Meeting, in Jefferson County, Ohio by request in 1805, under her married name of Elizabeth McGrew. On 6 December 1829 Daniel Winder and his wife Mary sold the remaining part of Section 12, Township 11, Range 7 acquired from his father to W. B. Hubbard, along with part of the SE quarter of the same section which he had acquired from Amasa Lipsey in an exchange to make Stillwater Creek the boundary between them, rather than the arbitrary survey lines. Daniel Winder and his family are recorded in both the 1820 and 1830 censuses for Freeport Township, Harrison County, Ohio, and these census records are on all fours with the listing of children given above and in Sheppard Marshall and Related Families. The latest date on which Daniel Winder has been found in official records of Harrison County is a deed of 10 April 1839 in Harrison County Deed Book I, page 535, whereby he bought lot #102 in the town of Freeport. Daniel has not been found in the 1840 census. From a quitclaim deed for the lot dated in 1852 and recorded in Harrison County Deed Book N, page 685, from Mary Winder, "widow of Daniel Winder, late of Harrison County, deceased", it appears that Daniel Winder died between April 1839 and 1852, but the date and place of his death is not known. It is reasonable to assume that Daniel died intestate.
