  • Notes 
    • According to Winders of America:
      With James Winder the Society of Friends had great trouble, beginning Third month 2, 1873, when it was reported to the meeting that he had bought or hired a negro slave. For a long time he refused to give satisfaction to those who were sent to reason with him on the subject, and it was not until Eighth month 3, 1763, that he was finally prevailed upon to make acknowledgment for his wrong-doing in this particular. The matter, however, was not forgotten,--for when he requested a certificate of removal to Buckingham Meeting on Eighth month 1, 1764, it was refused on account of his evasive conduct concerning the slave he had purchased and because of other irregularities, which resulted finally in his being disowned, Ninth month 4, 1765.

      From Falls MM notes:
      7/11/1764 Reported that James Winder is evasive and unclear as to the Negro he had purchased and he had been concerned in horse racing and at another time quarreling and fighting (disowned).
      Letter to Falls MM from James: 3/8/1763: I some time past purchased a Negroe woman on condition that if Friends disapproved of my so doing, her former master should take her again; and on Friends treating with me, I returned the Negroe, but evaded the thing, not giving them a clear account of my contract. In all which I acknowledge my Fault and condemn the same. James Winder.

      According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
      James Winder, born 24 November 1735, died 21 January 1804, who married (1) Sarah Bailey, on 28 December 1763, and (2) Mary Booz. This James Winder may be the James Winder found on the tax list of Ridley Township, Chester County, PA in 1789 as taxable for 5 pounds, 15 shillings and 4 pence. There are no known children by the first marriage to Sarah Bailey. Mary Booz is known to have had two children by James Winder - Thomas Winder, born 12 November 1796, died 12 July 1836, and Ann Winder, born 27 Oct 1800, who married Isaac Wynkoop 16 Aug 1815 in Makefield, Bucks County, PA. Thomas married Susan Vansant (Vanzant) in July 1820. According to Winders of America, Thomas and Susan VanVansant Winder had five children. None of these children have been identified by the compiler. Ann Winder and Isaac Wynkoop had thirteen known children. Isaac was born 16 Feb 1791 and was living in Boone County, Indiana in 1854.
