• Notes

  According to Robert L. Winder: (3) John Winder, who was named in his father's will, in his brother Daniel's will, and was a party to the chancery suit of 1804 to settle title to his father' s estate. From Chester L. /Shaver's History of the Shaver Family in Washington County, Maryland and Somerset County, Pa/. it appears that this John Winder is most likely to be the John Winder who married Elizabeth Earhart Shaver, widow of Peter Shaver. John and Elizabeth were married 18 August 1795 in the German Reformed Church in Hagerstown, Md. (known as Elizabethtown at that time). This marriage was also John Winder's second marriage; his first wife is known only as Ann. John's will, written and probated in Somerset County, Pa. in November 1806, mentions three children from his first marriage - John, who was living in Washington County, Md. in 1807; Rachel, who was married to John Neal; Martha, whose married name was Gower. John Winder's will also named five children born to his second marriage as Samuel, Elizabeth, Peter, Daniel, and Earhart Winder. A sixth child of this second marriage, John Winder, was named by the executor of the estate in a petition to sell the tavern to meet the debts. Dr. Shaver was inclined to believe that son Samuel was the Samuel Winder who married Susan Newcomer in Washington County, Maryland on 9 Jun 1823 and apparently lived his entire life in or near Clear Spring, Md. Martha is evidently the "Matty" Winder recorded as having married Adam Gower in Washington County, Md. on 16 Jun 1886. (Research):1790 census shows John, a male under 16, 3 females and 4 other free persons.
