      Hi Ann,
      [snip]
      Merrick Reeder Winder (1804-1889) was born in Bucks County, PA to Samuel Winder and Hannah Anna Reeder; Merrick lived in the Trout Run, Lycoming Co, area during the middle to late 1800's. Clara Miller cjmiller@sunlink.net has a family tree for him on Ancestry.com. (However, remember seeing a mistake somewhere.) I know Clara from another branch of my family. Aaron was Merrick's brother. There's a lot of confusion about the four Aaron Winders from this family. I tend to believe the version that I've pieced together because it's backed by marriage certificates, which I have. Merrick is buried in the cemetery, right next to my parents' farm; that cemetery is called Christian Hill or Oaklawn. Aaron A. Winder, Jr., Merrick's nephew is also buried there.
