• Notes

  According to Winders of America: While Sarah, the only child of Isaiah and Catherine Vanhorn, was still an infant in the cradle, Aaron Winder had laughingly remarded that he intended to wait until she was old enough to marry him. After the father's death, Aaron Winder was appointed guardian in the child's twelfth year, and in time the marriage did take place. This marriage not being accomplished in accordance with the order of the Society of Friends, of which he was a member, Aaron Winder was dealt with by the Meeting; and, having refused to express sorrow for what he had done, was disowned Twelfth month 11, 1812. According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000): Winders of America tells the story that Aaron Winder's first love was Catherine Subers, who married Isaac Van Horn while Aaron was in school studying to become a medical doctor. Thereupon Aaron remained unmarried until 16 January 1812, when he married Sarah Van Horn, the daughter of Isaac and Catherine Subers Van Horn. Sarah Van Horn Winder was born 29 February 1796, and died 27 January 1838. After Aaron's death Sarah married Abner Morris on 24 Aug 1825 and had four children by this second marriage. Aaron purchased 200 acres of the Winder Makefield homestead in 1788 and maintained his residence there until his death.

This friend, aware of the fear he entertained, on seeing Aaron Winder driving towards the house, held a family council, at which it was hastily decided to admit him, but not to inform him of the facts until dinner was over. When the meal was ended, he was told of the condition of affairs, upon which he pushed back his plate, saying, "I am a dead man." He was buried in the old stone graveyard on the hill near Yardleyville. The disease violently attacked several others of the family, who were for this reason unable to attend the funeral. [5]
