  • Notes 
    • According to Deven Lewis (May 2013):
      «b»John Winders«/b» (John «u»B«/u». Winders born Apr 1815 in KY, died Mar 18, 1873 in Brownsville, Fayette Co., PA). No record has been found for a marriage of John to wife, Caroline, who appears in the census records. John was identified as a "plasterer" in successive tax records and census records for Fayette beginning in 1839; John was found in the 1840 census, Redstone Township, Fayette Co, with a male child under 5, who would be son David C. Winders who died in Milwaukee in 1919. This John Winders appears to be the only John in Fayette, born KY, at the time who could reasonably have been the John appointed guardian to Robert Jackaway Winders \endash possible half brother - in Fayette County, PA in 1836:

      «i»Sept. 1836:«/i»
      «i»Winders, Samuel, Decd
      On the petition of Robert J. Winders, son of Samuel Winders late of Uniontown, deceased, setting forth that he is a minor above the age of fourteen years, and therefore praying the court to admist. (?) him to make choice of a guardian, the petition being admitted choses and the court appoint John Winders guardian of the said minor.«/i»
    • (Research):1840 census
      1 male under 5 (1836-1840)
      1 male 20-29 (1811-1820)
      1 female 20-29 (1811-1820)

      In 1970, also listed in household: Henry Peyton, age 23 and Carrie Peyton age 11/12

      This is likely, but not proven, the John Winder who was appointed guardian of Robert Jackaway Winders in 1836
