  Photograph curtesy of Gary Bacon:«a heref="http://garacon.brinkster.net/ancestry/swena_03.htm"»Swena Family Ancestry«/a». According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000) James Winder, born 27 June 1806, who married Mary (Polly) Swena, moved to Illinois before September 1846, and then later to Kansas, where he lived in Williamsport Township, Shawneee County, at census time in 1870. James Winder was described by his son-in-law Alex McQuiston and daughter F. A. Young thusly in an affidavit supporting a pension claim from Polly: 'We were well-acquainted with husband of this claimant. We know that in 1864 and up to the time of his death in August 1872 he was a physical wreck." In Polly Winder's pension file is another affidavit stating that "up to the fall of 1864 her post office address was La Moille, Bureau County, Illinois, she then moved to Mt. Florence (now Meriden), Jefferson County, Kansas. In the spring of 1866 she moved to Williamsport Township, Shawnee County, Kansas. Her P. O. address was then Topeka, Kansas. About 6 years ago [1887] the Mo. Pacific RR made a station on their road out from Topeka and called it Berryton, since that time her PO address has been Berryton, but she did not move." According to Stubbs' Kirk Family Genealogy, the children of James and Polly Swena Winder were [as listed]. From: Gary Bacon Sent: Monday, April 28, 2003 7:34 PM I have a picture of James Winder and Mary Polly Swena with their daughter Alice. I am interested in seeing other pictures of James Winder and Ann Kirk or their children. Do you have any? I sent a picture to you that I am still trying to figure out. On the back of it, my grandmother wrote “Grandma & Grandpa Winder.” I received another copy of it saying that it is Benjamin & Polly Swena. I need a reliable source so I can verify the identity their identity.
