  • Notes 
    • (Research):According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
      Samuel Charles Winder, born 21 July 1840, married Cora Zimmer on 18 March 1872, and who died in 1898. It appears that he was known in later days as Charles Winder. A Charles Winder died in Richmond, Indiana on 23 May 1898, and Cora (Mrs. Charles) Winder died in Richmond in July 1906. National Archives records list a Charles Winder who served in Company I of the 3rd Indiana Cavalry during the Civil War. He made application for a pension 22 July 1891 from Indiana, and his widow, Cora E. Winder, applied for (from Indiana) and received a pension under certificate #428144. Cora Zimmer was the daughter of Christian Zimmer and Ellen Hartley Zimmer.


      According to John H Winder (Apr 2014): He went by both Samuel C. Winder and S. Charles Winder, and his Civil War records are under the name Charles Winder. (When his wife Cora applied for widow's pension in 1898 after he died--not 1891 as my father said in the note that is on Wonderland--she gave his name as "Charles Winder" and gave his service as having been with Company I of the 3rd Ind Vol Cav). There are two different Civil War draft registration records for Samuel C. Winder in 1863 (both listing him as a carpenter)--one notes that he is already serving in Co I, 3rd Cav, while the second also says that, and notes additionally that he is a 'paroled prisoner'. That matches up with info compiled by the Indiana state digital archives project, that lists Charles Winder, who enrolled in Knightstown, Indiana has having served as a sergeant in Co I, 3rd Cav, captured near Nashville, Tennessee in June 1862, never exchanged, returned to unit Apr 1864, never mustered out, has no discharge, subsequently given a dishonorable discharge on April 15, 1865. He's listed as a carpenter, residing with Richard Binns in Wayne Twp, Wayne County in a directory ("Directory and Soldiers' Registry of Wayne County, Indiana") that was published in 1865. No record that I could find in the 1870 census, then he married Cora Zimmer on 13 March 1872 in Wayne County.
