Hi,
I've recently started working on my family tree on the Winders side and hit a brick wall with Henry H Winders (1813-), who I believe to be my ggggrandfather. (The line is Henry H Winders--Thomas Temple Winders--Joe Winders--C. G. Winders--Joseph Wiley Winders--me.) He was born in North Carolina, married Therina Temple in Shelby, NC 16 Jan 1840 (executed John T. Nelson, elder of the Methodist Episcopal church; security [J T?] Robinson); the 1850 census shows him living in Shelby with Therina, 4 children, and Daniel Corbit (laborer) and George Simmons (teacher). Some time between 1854--1856 (going by birth dates and places of children listed in 1860 census) moved to the Tupelo, Mississippi area (where he and succeeding generations stayed--my dad was born there). Therina having died in 1861, he married Emily Souter in 1863, and the 1870 census is the last record I have for him, so I assume he died between 1870 and 1880.
I had initially thought that he was one of the Duplin, NC, Winderses, and he may be related to them, but the Henry Winders (son of James) living in Duplin in 1830 was still living there in 1840 and 50 when Henry H had moved to Shelby. I now believe my Henry is the Rowan, NC Henry Hampton Winders that William Holobaugh Rogers mentions on some of the Winder Wonderland DNA site discussion boards--brother of Elizabeth Ann Winders Holobaugh, Naomi Nonissa Winders Parks, and others. The marriage records for Elizabeth Ann and Naomi Nonissa show that they were both married in Shelby in 1841 by the same John T. Nelson as Henry H. I see also on the Winders Wonderland site that William Holobaugh Rogers has mentioned that the father of Henry H et al was named John Patton Winders.
I have not been able to find anything else about who Henry H Winders's parents were or what relation they had to the Duplin Winderses or other Winderses of that general region. The only other early Winderses I have found in Rowan, NC censuses are Fanny Winders and "Widaw" Winders in 1820 and Fanny again in 1830. I would be very interested in any information available about these Winderses, and would be happy to provide any other information I have about the Mississippi Winderses that might be useful.
