According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
Lorenzo Dow Winder, born 3 November 1842 in Pennsylvania, who married Anna H. Wallace on 27 April 1869 in Shawnee County, Kansas. Anna was born in 1847 in North Carolina. At the 1870 census they were farming in Williamsport Township, Shawnee County, Kansas and had one child, Mary, four months old, born in Kansas. An affidavit filed by Polly Winder for her pension stated that Lorenzo D. Winder, her son, died in 1874. Lorenzo D. Winder is listed in the general pension index of the National Archives as having served with the 39th Illinois Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War.

[snip] anyway I was checking cemetery records for McPherson county Ks. where the Eliasons "Ellison" had settlled in 1891 and found Lorenzo D. Winder died Nov.30,1871 age 32 yrs 5 months Marquette township, Riverside cemetery. What do you make of that.?
From Charles Howell: Below, is what Ann Winder has on Lorenzo.. the family bible page[ which i have] says he died March 30, 1874 age 31 years, 4 mo,27 days Ellsworth Co. Kansas.

It seems that it might be the person listed as Lorenzo Dow Winder might be the same person. there is only one in Ann's Index. Hundreds of boys were named after a Southern Preacher Lorenzo Dow ( google for the story) he was quite the personage. So there is a chance that there were two Winders named Lorenzo Dow. The Question now is who have you found?
