  • Notes 
    • From Mount Morris: Past and Present
      Ann Elizabeth (Knodle) Winders was born in Washington County, Md., Nov 4, 1832, and died in Mount Morris, Aug 25, 1920, aged nearly 88 years. She came with her parents to Mount Morris in September, 1841, making the trip by team, which required six weeks. She lived her entire life in Mount Morris since 1841 and was one of the earliest settlers in the community. She married John Winders and they had four children: Bert, John, Elbert and Mrs. Kittie Price. She was an active member of the Lutheran Church for many years.
    • (Research):From John Winder (2013):
      I started to put together in narrative form what I've found out
      about the WInderses who went Washington County => Ogle County -- that
      would be the brothers John and Elias Upton Winders, their cousins Hiram
      and John N. Winders, and a fifth (so far unconnected)--John M. Winders,
      who married Elizabeth J. Knodle out in Ogle County in 1854. Of course,
      as soon as one starts writing, one starts going back over and
      double-checking things, just to be sure, and in the process of doing
      that this morning, I ran across a loose end in Pine Creek Township of
      Ogle County--an Elizabeth Winders, age 20 shows up in the 1850 census
      there, living in the household of Henry Artz and his family. In the
      same 1850 census (enumerated by the same person, to judge from the hand
      writing), in Mount Morris, Illinois, there is an Elizabeth Knodle, age
      20, living in the household of Benjamin Swingley and his family, along
      with a Jacob Knodle, age 8 months.
      So my question is, who is this Elizabeth Winders, born about 1830,
      living by herself with the Artz family in Pine Creek Twp? And if John
      M. Winders in fact married Elizabeth Knodle in Polo in 1854, what became
      of little Jacob? The 1870 census shows her (as Winder, Ann E.) in Mount
      Morris with children Kate (14), Bayard F. (12), Elbert (9) and John
      (7). She is called "Mrs. E. Winders" in the 1865 Illinois census, with
      3 boys under 10 and a daughter plus self--no husband John noted in
      either 1865 or 1870, as he apparently died shortly after Elbert was
      born. (And just as a by the way, evidently John M. and Elizabeth
      (Knodle) Winders lived briefly in Iowa around 1858, since Bayard was
      born in Iowa, whereas all the other kids were born in Illinois).
