  • Notes 
    • Accordding to Deven Lewis (May 2013):
      «b»James G. Winders («/b»born Dec. 10, 1794 in PA, died in 12 Apr 1857 in Heath/Heth, Harrison County, IN). James was married first to Ruth Harris on 22 November 1817 in Hardin County, KY, then to Ruth Cahoe on 05 April 1824 in Harrison County, IN. James may be the James Winders found in Meade County, KY in 1830. He is most likely the J.G. Winders found in Heath/Heth Township in Harrison County, IN, in 1840, and the James G. Winders there in 1850 with wife Ruth and children: Clinton and Ruthy. A complete list of children according to researcher Mike Johnston is: Sarah Ellen (by Ruth #1), Jefferson, Eliza Ann, Elizabeth, Mary Louise, Hiram, James Clinton, and Ruth J (by Ruth #2). A descendant of son James Clinton Winders has been DNA tested as a match to the Thomas Winder-Sarah Bull line and a 1 step match to the Samuel Winders-Catherine Jackaway line.
