  • Notes 
    • I am Patricia (Trish) TREFZ married to Alfred BRUHIN; my mother was Gertrude GEOGHEGAN married to Richard TREFZ my grandmother was Maude DE GOUR married to Patrick GEOGHEGAN my greatgrandmother was Amanda (or Allamanda) WINDER married to George W. De Gour. my greatgreatgrandparents were John Brown Winder and Rebecca Johnson.
      They had five daughters:

      Martha J. Winder born @ 1826 in PA (died unmarried)
      Rebecca Winder born @ 1818 in PA (married George Danenhouer) in Phila., PA
      Mary J. Winder born @ 1830 (married Henry Dean); had son John W. Dean and grandson, Harry C. Dean
      Amanda M. Winder born September 3, 1832 married George W. DeGour in Philadelphia in 1858.
      Jane H. Winder born @ 1834 (married J. H. Folwell, March 8, 1852 in Phila., PA)

      Except for Jane, the four sisters seem to have lived together in the very late 1800's at 1941 Callowhill Street in Philadelphia. I couldn't find that particular house number so I assume it has been torn down.
