  • Notes 
    • According to Larry Palmer: Sometime between 1810 and 1813, Daniel, Mary, and their children moved from Redstone Township on the east bank of the Monongahela River 30 miles south of Pittsburgh to Harrison County, Ohio. Cadiz, the Harrison County seat, is in hill and valley country 50 miles west of Pittsburgh and 18 miles west of the Ohio River. With a year 2000 county population of around 16,000, it is still a rural area.
      Harrison County is in the Seven Ranges survey which the Continental Congress designated in 1787 as the first part of Ohio to be settled. The first settlers arrived in the area during the mid-1790's. Ohio entered the Union in 1803 and Harrison County was formed in 1813.
      Daniel's father's people were English and his mother's were German. He was one of the first of his lines on either side to be born after British recognition of American independence at the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Daniel is reported to have been engaged in commerce which is a broad category. He may have operated a store. [7]

      According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
      Daniel Winder, who was apparently the youngest son of James and Elizabeth Grable Winder, was born about 1785, at the best estimate, and is found in the 1810 census of Redstone Township, Fayette County, PA as the head of a household consisting of five people, one male under 10, two females under 10, one male 16-25 years old, and one female 16-25 years old. Lillian A. Sheppard gives Daniel Winder's birth date as 23 May 1785 in her book Sheppard, Marshall, and Related Families, and also states, erroneously, that Daniel was born in Scotland. The same work states that Daniel Winder married Mary Kennedy on 19 January 1806, and that their three oldest children, two girls and one boy, were born by 1 May 1810, before the census of 1810 in Fayette County.
