      According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
      Abner Winder (John 3, John 2 , Thomas 1), born 14 September 1780 in Bucks County, Pa., moved with his parents from Bucks County to Chester County, and then onward to the Redstone area. He was a member of the group of Quaker pioneers who settled at High Bank, near Chillicothe in Ross County, Ohio in May of 1797. He apparently moved on to Dry Run, six miles above Chillicothe on the Scioto River, in 1802, which was the year in which he married Hope Ballinger, probably in Ross County, Ohio. Hope was the daughter of Joshua and Sarah Jones Ballinger, who were members of the Friends' Society, and had belonged to the Evesham Meeting in Burlington County, N. J. Deeds show that Joshua Ballinger was a resident of Ross County, Ohio no later than July of 1807, and then later moved to Champaign County, Ohio. Stanley E. Ellis, a descendant of Abner Winder and Hope Ballinger, considered the problem of when the Ballingers moved, and whether the marriage of Abner and Hope took place in Ross County. His belief was that the Ballingers had moved to Ohio before the marriage and that the marriage did in fact take place in Ross County. Abner and Hope Ballinger Winder moved to Goshen Meeting in Logan County, Ohio in September of 1837, where they remained for the rest of their lives. Their children, twelve in number, were all born in Ross County, Ohio.
