Notes

According to John H Winder:
«u»«b»John M. Winder «/u»«/b» (1825-1864) was the fifth Washington county Winders to move to Ogle County, Illinois. His exact connection to the rest of the Washington county Winders clan remains unclear. He married a Washington county girl, «u»Elizabeth J. Knodle «/u» (or Ann Elizabeth Knodle) (1832-1920) in Ogle County on 15 Aug 1854, making the time frame for his move west approximately coincidental with that of John N. and Hiram Winders. A John M. Winders is documented as one of the charter founding members of the I.O.O.F. chapter in Waynesboro, PA (just across the border from Washington County) on 1 Jan 1850, but it has not been established that this is the same John M. Winder who then moved to Ogle County and married Elizabeth Knodle. He is enumerated in the 1860 census as "John A. Winders", working as a marble cutter in Whitewater Township, Dubuque County, Iowa (with wife Elizabeth A. and children Catherine and Bayard Taylor, age 4 and 2 respectively. Since Bayard was born in Iowa, evidently the family had been there since at least 1858. In any case, the John M. Winder under discussion here died in 1864 at the early age of 39 in Mount Morris, Ogle County, Illinois, leaving his widow Elizabeth with four young children. [6]
