Dear Ann,
My husband is a descendant of Elijah and Susannah Evans of Shenandoah County, Virginia, through their son, James Evans. This James Evans had a sister, Susannah who married Thomas Winters/Winders in 1800 in Shenandoah County, VA. A third sibling was David Evans who married Nancy Blizzard Smith in 1804 in Shenandoah County, VA, and then moved to Muskingham County, Ohio. I am suspicious that Susannah and her husband, Thomas Winters/Winders moved to Ohio with David Evans and his family, but I have no proof.
The Evans family of Shenandoah County, VA lived in the Powells Fort Valley area of the county among a lot of people of German descent, yet Evans is a Welsh name.
I have not done any research in original records in Ohio but have quite a bit of secondary information on David Evans and his family, plus lots of info on the Evans family. I am sorry that I can not provide a link for you to your Winder family but maybe someday we can find the answers.
Thank you for writing to me.
Sincerely, A.J. Gardner
