  • Notes 
    • According to Glynnes Lanthier:
      Am looking for a James W (possibly William) Winder who was possibly born in McMinn Co., TN. In any case, he spent most of his life in Tennessee, McMinn and Monroe counties. He married a Tabitha Angeline Lunsford in 1867. Somewhere before 1900, he changed his name from Winder to Wiseman. All his children appear to have gone by the name Wiseman. His mother's name was Mary Carnes, his father's name is unknown, presumed dead or missing when he was young. I am curious to know about his siblings, none of whom appear to have changed their names. Does anyone know the story behind this? I would presume if he had committed a crime, he would not only have changed his name, but fled the area, which he did not do.

      1870 Madison Co NC census
      James W Winder age 24 occupation Farm Laborer b. TN
      Tobitha age 18 occupation Keeping house b. TN
      Margaret age 1 b. TN
      NOTE by Glynnes Lanthier: on 1870 census, James & Tabitha are living next to Lunsfords, although not her parents, must be cousins, lots of Lunsfords in Madison Co NC
      1880 Monroe Co TN
      James Winder age 35 occupation Laborer, b. TN
      Tobitha age 29 occupation Keeping House b. TN
      Maggie age 11 b. TN
      Henry age 9 b. TN
      Jacob age 7 b. TN
      Pearce W age 4 b. TN
      Callie age 1 b. TN

      James was my gr gr grandfather. The Mary Winder "Stray" listed in McMinn county was his mother. She was listed on the census with James, Jacob and Martha. Mary's maiden name was Carnes. James and Jacob were in the Civil War. At this point in time I don't know who James' father was.
