      This indenture made this 13th day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twelve between John Winders and Tabitha his wife of the county of Muhlenberg and Commonwealth of Kentucky of the one part and William Kittinger of the county and Commonwealth aforesaid of the other part, Witnesseth that the said John Winders and Tabitha his wife for and in consideration of the sum of six hundred dollars to them in hand paid the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged by the said John and Tabitha hath granted bargained and sold and by these presents doth grant bargain and sell unto the said William Kittinger and his heirs forever one certain tract or parcel of land lying and being in the county aforesaid on Cypress Creek containing by survey two hundred acres and bounded as followeth to wit Beginning at a sugar tree marked D.R. standing on the top of a ridge pointing to the flats running North eighty five degrees east one hundred seventy eight and eight tenth poles to a black oak and beech thence North five degrees West one hundred seventy eight and eight tenth poles to two white oaks thence South eighty five West one hundred seventy eight and eight tenth poles to an elm and gum thence South five degrees east one hundred seventy eight and eight tenth poles to the Beginning with its appurtenances.

      Muhlenberg County Sct. Clerks Office, April 13th, 1812. The within indenture of bargain and sale from John Winders & Tabitha his wife to William Kittinger was produced to me and acknowledged by Micajah Wells attorney in fact for John Winders to be his act and deed, which is thereupon admitted to Record. Atteste Parmenas Redmon, Dpy for Chas. F. Wing C.M.C.
      Muhlenberg County Sct. Clerks Office, April 13th, 1812. Tabitha Winders wife of the within named John Winders came before me Charles F. Wing Clerk to the County Court for said County & being examined separately and apart from her husband and freely & voluntarily relinquished her right of dower thereon as the law directs. Att Chas. F. Wing C.M.C.


      The 1840 Census also had a schedule for Pensioners of the Revolutionary War. The name of John Winders is not found on the 1840 listing from Cooper Co., Missouri. This might indicate that he was already dead by 1840 or it might just have not listed him because his pension was rejected after he applied in 1832.
