I accidentally trashed the e-mail, but someone asked if the Winders were from Bucks Co. From the Justice John Phillips series that I have been posting:


7, Peter Phillips, born 1715-1730 (?), mar. Elizabeth Winder, dau. of Thomas Winder (wife Rebecca Gregory) who was drowned in the Delaware River when boarding a ship for a trip to England on April 12, 1731.

He (Winder) owned much land in Bucks Co., Penna, as well as a tract in old Amwell a few miles east of Lambertville, ,N.J. consisting of 320 acres which was conveyed to him on the 7th and 8th days of ___, 1710, by John Williamson. The title to this land as well as much other land of these West Jersey tracts was disputed by Colonel Cox, and many of these owners signed an agreement to cooperate in trying the title to their land. Thomas Winder, with many others, signed this April 23, 1731 (page 11, Hales History, Pennington Church). He was a Commissioner of Highway, Old Amwell, N.J. 1723. (Somerset and Hunterdon History page 343 and 346). Also see (Winders of America, Lippincot Co., Phila, 1902). Thomas Winder died intestate. This land went to John Winder, who conveyed it to Peter Phillips, Nov. 26, 1747, and Peter conveyed a part of it to John and Sarah (Rose) Phillips and they to Jacob Holcombe, 112 acres, June 25, 1794. (Old parchments in possession of J. Howard Philli!
ps).


The old deed to Winder was taken from this collection some years ago and went into possession of R. Winder Johnson, of Philadelphia. (See Winders of America).
