• Notes

  According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000): Mary A. Winder, born 5 September 1836 in Pennsylvania, who married Alexander McQuiston 11 August 1859. Alexander was born in Pennsylvania 7 February 1834 and is reported to have lived there until 1855, when he moved to Illinois. He is reported to have moved to Kansas from Illinois in July 1858. The 1870 census listed Alexander and Mary in Monmouth Township, Shawnee County, Kansas, and showed two children, Mary, 10 Years old, and Ida, four months old, both born in Kansas. According to Andreas' History of Kansas (page 599) published in 1880, Alexander McQuiston was a farmer who owned 160 acres in "Section 10, P. O. Topeka", with about 60 acres under cultivation and the rest in orchard, native meadow, and pasture, and had five horses, twenty head of cattle and 34 hogs. He is said to have acquired his land by U. S. patent. Both Alexander and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Alexander was in 1880 a Justice of the Peace, having served five terms, and he also served on the local school board. The records of Lynn Creek Cemetery, as published by the Topeka Genealogical Society, show the burials there, all in lot 3-4, of: Alexander McQuiston, born 7 February 1834, died 27 June 1917 Eddy McQuiston, died 5 May 1870, betrween 3 and 4 years old Ida McQuiston, 6 years old, died 20 January 1876 Mary A.
