      Ann,
      I was able to look at your Winder Wunderland, looking for my lost Marsham Winder and noticed two Winder's , Jefferson and Louisa I believe they both married in the Funkhouser Family in Harrison Co. IN. This is the bunch I descend from and they are the grandchildren of my lost Marsham and the children of James G. and Ruth Cohoe Winder of Ky and Harrison Co. IN. This where I have been stuck for 20 yrs. James G. was born in PA in 1794 and the family tales are that it was Bucks Co. PA but I haven't been able to locate them in Bucks or PA. If they are from Bucks Co. then they are probably descendents of Thomas and Sarah Bull.
      Bill Wallace, Radcliff, KY

      In 1860 census, next door to Ruth Winders, 20, b. IN
