GEDCOM Note

"The Daniel Windles left Tom's Brook and moved to Lexington, Va., where they operated an inn and ordinary for many years. (An ordinary in that day was actually a tavern and restaurant) In the John Sevier letters, it is mentioned that John stopped at their inn on his way to and from Washington, when he was in the Congress there. He rode horseback from his home in Tn. to Washington. He referred to Mary as his first wife's sister." Written by Karen Hangsleben

Mary Windle's household in 1810 consisted of herself, over 45 years of age; 2 females which could be Nancy and Sally, aged 17 to 26; 1 female, probably Matilda, aged 10 to 16; and one young Andrew Moore, from 10 to 16
