  • Notes 
    • According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
      Mary Winder, born 18 June 1814. Mary Winder married Lawrence Johnson, had at least nine children, and died 16 Feb 1877. The ninth child of Lawrence and Mary Winder Johnson was Robert Winder Johnson, the author of Winders of America, published in 1902. He was born 7 May 1854 in Philadelphia, PA and in 1879 joined his father's firm of Lawrence Johnson & Co., importers, exporters, and bankers. Besides research on his Winder ancestry, R. Winder Johnson carried out research on his Van Pelt, Van Sandt, and Van Horn ancestry. He married Rosalie Morris, daughter of George Calvert and Elizabeth Kuhn Morris on 10 November 1887. They had four children: Morris Winder Johnson, born 5 July 1889 in Philadelphia; Lawrence Edward Johnson, born 9 July 1892 at Lansdowne, PA; Robert Winder Johnson, Jr., born 19 August 1894 at Lansdowne, PA; and Rosalie Eugenia Johnson, born 12 Oct 1900 in Philadelphia, PA.
