According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
David Winder, born between 1780 and 1782, according to the best deductions possible from census records and other documents, moved into Ohio by 1820, where he was recorded in the census of that year in Harrison County. David apparently lived on a quarter-section of land (NW quarter of Section 2 in Township 12, Range 7) that was bought by his father, James Winder, from the Steubenville Land Office on 20 December 1813, as recorded by certificate #4557 issued by that office. At that time the land was included in Freeport Township, but is now within present-day Washington Township. By deeds of 17 October 1823, James Winder of Redstone Township, Fayette County, PA, sold the east half of this land to his son David Winder, and the west half of the same quarter-section to his son James Winder, Junior, of Bloomfield Township, Crawford County, PA. (Harrison County, Ohio Deed Book A, pp. 258, 259).Subsequently, by deed of 22 September 1826 (Harrison County Deed Book D, p. 79), James Winder, Junior, of Bloomfield Township, Crawford County, PA, sold his half to his brother David, who resided in Harrison County, Ohio. David Winder, and his wife Hannah, having first sold a ten-acre piece of this land to Joel Wharton, then sold the remaining 150 acres to Samuel Green on 8 March 1831. David Winder has not been found in the 1830 census in Harrison County, nor in any of the adjoining counties of Ohio. He is recorded as a justice of the peace in Harrison County in marriage records dating from the 1820's. In the estate records of Belmont County, Ohio is found the will of David Winder, dated 24 June 1843. The will names his wife as Hannah (as do the earlier deeds in Harrison County), and so this David Winder who died in Union Township, Belmont County about 30 June 1843, is presumed to be the same David Winder who was resident in Harrison County during the 1820's. David Winder is also found as head of household in the 1840 census of Union Township, Belmont County, Ohio, and the enumeration of the family fits with the listing of his legatees as set forth in the will. This census record indicates that David was born between 1781 and 1790. Missing from the enumeration is one of the older daughters, apparently Eliza Jane, who, according to the IGI married Warden Armstrong on 16 March 1837 in Belmont County. David's will lists his legatees as:
"My wife Hannah"
"eldest daughter Eliza Jane Armstrong"
"second daughter Mary Ramage"
"son John" (also named executor)
"son James Crabel Winder" (died 1846 intestate in Belmont County, Ohio)
"daughter Edith Winder"
"daughter Hannah Winder"
"son George Winder"
From David's will it is apparent that he believed that he held title to 80 acres of land in Union Township, but there is no deed confirming such ownership, and the land title was not passed from his estate. David's death is thought to have occurred on or about 30 June 1843, because all the papers found in the estate file bearing a date later than 30 June were made out to his widow as debtor. A civil suit was brought against the estate in September of 1843, and it seems probable that this suit involved the land title, although no record of the suit seems to have survived the years. John Winder, son and executor of the will, apparently could not get the estate of his father settled until 1847, and shortly thereafter he moved to Morgan County, Ohio, in what later became part of Noble County, Ohio.
