  • Notes 
    • According to letter from Mary Launder to Pat Vaughan (Dec 17, 1997):
      Uncle John Winder living in Des Moines with his wife Mary had a son Will who with wife "Udie" had Bill, Carl, Helen, Madge, Judy and Josephene Laurine and maybe others I don't remember. I was in contact with Bill's son Kent for a little while after Bill's death. He was taking care of a retarded sister...When working in [illeg] Record Department I found Madge's death in SE Oregon, I think.

      According to Pat Vaughan (Feb 1999):
      I've been told Bill had a half sister older than he who was daughter of John's. Name - Corrie or Carrie and I have the name Carrie Blaskey from somewhere. Have talked to Carl on phone a couple of times.

      Hi Ann,
      J. H. Winder to Amanda J. Wolf 14 Oct 1869 Book 2 page 4
      J. H. Winder to Mary E. Smith 30 Aug 1877 Book 3 page 265

      The records I have only go to Nov. of 1877. No other information is in the
      book other than what I typed up.
      Hope this helps.

      This from a descendant of Cora Smith, John Henry's step-daughter:
      From: "Steven Bell"
      Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 2:00 PM
      Cora's brother probably went by the name of Winder. I was only 6 or 7 when she lived with us. And I am trying to remember everything I can about what she said also what my Dad said.
      I also heard John Winder was not happy with Mary's kids and some Doctor in Eldon took my grandmother in. I think he hated the idea of what happened to John Smith plus my grandmother looked an awful lot like an Indian. She still had allot of long Black hair in her 80's. I looked a little farther in your web site and I saw the photo of John and my great great grandmother Mary Slater smith. Mary looks alot like my great grandma Cora.
