Notes - John Winder of Lorton, gent, was a well documented person, apart from his birth. He was married at St Bees in 1569 to Mabel, eldest daughter of Robert Grindal, brother to Edmund Grindal, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1575. John Winder died in 1609. It is reasonable and logical to assume that John Winder was the son of Peter Winder above, there being no other reasonable route of succession. However some doubt has been caused by a 1589 reference to John holding the estate formerly held by William (his father or great-grandfather?)
