Los Angeles, California BA-J/MMHF:MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you state that the record of James Winders, B.L. Wt. 48038-120-55, furnished you on May 29, 1933, was not that of the James Winder whose record you seek, and request that the record of Winder James, referred to in that report, be examined to determine the name of his wife and children.
The papers in pension claim, S.C. 16181, based upon service of Winder James have been examined. In those papers the soldier, Winder James, stated that he volunteered in Chillicothe, Ohio, for service in the War of 1812. He served in Captain William Keys' company of Ohio Militia. He stated that he married in 1822, in Ross County, Ohio, Melinda Johnson. In 1850, he was living in Greene County, Ohio, and in 1871 he was a resident of Jamestown, Greene County, Ohio, aged seventy-eight years. He made no reference to children.
Very Truly Yours,
A.D. Hiller
Assistant to Administrator
