- According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
James Winder, second child of Caleb and Margaret Bloomfield Winder, was born in 1828 in Bloomfield Township, Crawford County, PA, and moved to Stark County, Ohio with his family in 1832, and then into Portage County, OH in 1836. James' residence from his father's death in 1840 until 1850 is not known, but it is probable that he lived with his mother until her death. The earliest public record found is that of his marriage to Lucy A. Moreland (Morlan) on 9 October 1849 in Stark County, OH. Lucy Ann Morlan was the daughter of Hosea Morlan and Ann Ingledue Morlan, and the sister of Martin Hosea Morlan, who married James' youngest sister, Amy Winder. The Morlans were Quakers, and the Marlboro Monthly Meeting records show that Lucy Winder (formerly Morlan) was disowned on 27 July 1850 for marrying contrary to discipline. The marriage of James Winder and Lucy A. Morleland is recorded in the Stark County Marriage Records, Book B, at page 346.
On 12 October 1850 the census taker recorded James Winder and family in Randolph Township of Portage County, Ohio (as household #569, family #578). James was age 22, a Farmer, with real property valued at $1400, and born in Pennsylvania. His wife, Lucy A., is listed as age 18 and born in Ohio. It appears that James and Lucy moved to Hardin County, Ohio for a short while in the early 1850's. A deed recorded in Portage County under the date of 22 October 1852 , shows that James Winder and Lucy, his wife, "of Hardin County, Ohio", conveyed to Lewis M. Bloomfield (James' uncle) "a part of lot No. 11 in Randolph, 42 3/8 acres (except as much as was heretofore deeded to Lewis M. Bloomfield by Lewis Winder)." This prior sale was recorded as for "the undivided 7th part of a lot of land", which was described identically to the land bought by Valeb G. Winder in Randolph township in 1836, and was not recorded until 1854. This latter deed is evidence of the survival of seven children of Caleb and Margaret Winder. Why had James gone to Hardin County?
Probably because his aunt and uncle, Thomas McCall, and Judith Bloomfield McCall (his mother's sister), had previously moved to Hale Township, Hardin County, OH, and had probably urged their nephews and nieces to join them there. It seems quite likely that James' younger brother, Elihu, accompanied them to Hardin County and simply decided to stay there when James and Lucy returned to Portage County
James did not remain in Hardin County for long, as he bought additional land in Portage County in 1853 and later, and was listed in Randolph township again in the 1860 census (#719/715) as:

According to family sources, "Sebastia K.", listed here as a female, was really Sebastian Cabot Winder, a male, described by the family as a "bachelor artist". This family reputation as an artist may have stemmed partly from a letter of about 1920 to William Clark Winder, Sr., his cousin in Mt. Victory, OH, from Florida, humorously describing, with ink drawings, the conditions in Florida at that time. A death certificate is indexed for Sebastian C. Winder, recorded in Portage County, Ohio, on 24 April 1926. Sally Moreland, Tailoress, is probably the sister of Lucy Ann, although this has not been confirmed. Sebastian and Clarence were the only two children of James and Lucy Morlan Winder.
