Notes - My great grandfather was William Nelson Winder, born in Canada immigrated to the US by 1905 with his wife and children, my grandmother; and became the Chief of Cheese as an assistant Dairy and Food Commisioner for the State of Wisconsin. His first homestead was in Willow township in Richland County Wisconsin, but his employment took him around the state, in addition to Richland Center 1920, Wisconsin he lived in Shawno, Wi and in 1930 Loyal, Clark County, Wi, divorced and remarried a woman he worked with in Madison WI. Born on March 23, 1876, naturalized in the US September 9, 1913. We have his father as Jonathan Winder, occupation Gentleman, Dereham Township, Oxford South, Ontario Canada born in England, mother Eleanor Preston, his parents were Methodists, both born in England. As far as we can tell he had only one sister, Mary Agnes Winder born circa 1879.
> William Nelson Winder had three children born in Canada, Evelyn Marie Winder, July 21, 1896 in Moulton Township, Haldimand, Ontario Canada; Bernard William Winder, baptismal record Oct 17, 1900 Bally Mote Township, Middlesex Ontario Canada; and Gordon Charles Winder, August 8, 1898, Canboro Township, Halimand, Ontario. We have not found a wedding date but William Nelson Winder's first wife, born in Canada is Trezia Noble Sundy, spelled numerous ways in Canadian records Sunday, Sunde, their two children born in Wisconsin were Ruth E Winder 1913-1961 married a Wickersham and Walton O Winder also known professionally as William C Winder, November 28, 1916
> I believe all of these children were married lived and died within the state of Wisconsin, except for daughter Ruth Wickersham who lived in Des Moines, Iowa but is buried in Richand Center, Wisconsin.
> I have read that some Winder's were pro-British during the Revolutionary War and found themselves a haven in Canada post Revolution and later post French Indian Wars. There may also have been migration after the Civil War. Has this line of Winder's ancestors appeared on your data or research? [3]
