| Birth | 4 December 1823 | Masonville, Delaware Co., New York |
| Note | 4 December 1823 | Joseph Colony; Mary is a candidate for being a daughter of Joseph or a niece. However, she's not listed in DW Colony petition, so niece is probably more likely. Do further research to find her parents. Info from Calvin Ingram [cingram@inficad.com]. I had another Masonville, Delaware County, New York "Colony" listed in some written notes that had not been placed in the computer. Some of the info is from ancestry.com records, and I have not looked into how accurate the information is. Mary (Ann or C) Colony - Born - December 04, 1823 in Masonville, Delaware County, New York. Died - June 16, 1904 in Springfield, Bradford County, Pennsylvania Married to George William Pettingill on January 11, 1845 in Daggett, Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. George was born September 13, 1804 in Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island. He died September 30, 1892 in Springfield, Bradford County, Pennsylvania I cannot confirm these exact dates, but find a George W. and Mary C Pettingell listed in the Leona Cemetery, Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsyvania. The cemetery information only gives the years these two were born. George looks to be correct listed as 1804-1892. Mary's middle name is C on this transcription not Ann. She is listed as 1822-1904. This not uncommon. I cannot find any Colony's in this Township, but do find the Seely's, whom my Henry Colony's wife belongs to. The 1840 township census may show Colony's, but the 1850 Township census does not. Henry Colony Jr was located nearby, on the Tioga County, (Tioga Township) Pennsyvania federal census in 1850. Thought you may wan't this info, as it fits into Joseph Colony's timeframe, and may give you locations to look into. |

| Obituary | 23 June 1904 | Springfield, Bradford Co., Pennsylvania, Twenty-third Year, #104166, Thursday, June 23, 1904 Mrs. Mary Colony Pettingill. The subject of this sketch was born in Delaware county, N.Y., December 4th, 1820 and came with her parents to Wells township to reside in 1840. In 1844 she was married to George W. Pettingill and went to Jackson, Tioga county, moving from there to Leona, where she has been known and highly respected for the long period of nearly half a century. Here husband died twelve years ago and since that time she has been an inmate in the home of her son, M. W. Pettingill, who is her only survivor. She passed away on Friday June 17th, from disease incident to old age. A woman of energetic mind, a great reader and her declining years were made happier by her retention of faculties, which enabled her to indulge in that pastime. She had been a member of the M.E. church for many years, being faithful in the attendance of its duties, and always present at its services as long as health permitted, and when denied that privilege her great solace was her Bible, whose daily perusal was her chief delight. Her funeral was held from her late home on Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, in charge of undertaker Bloom of Troy. The Rev. L. L. Wilcox of the M. E. church spoke. A large number of friends followed her remains to her last resting place in the Leona cemetery. (Leona News) Mrs. George Pettengill, an aged resident of this place, was buried on Sunday. She is survived by one son, Monroe, and family of this place. Funeral in charge of undertaker C. J. Bloom. (From Cal Ingram) |

Godfr(i)edus1 Wynge) was born in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts) before 2 March 1646/7. If, as tradition says, Stephen Wing lived in the old stone fort house from its earliest days, then Nathaniel was the first Wing child born there. Indeed, from all we gather, he was the first male grandchild of Deborah born in America, the honor of being the first real American Wing going to Hannah, the daughter of Daniel, born in 1642. Nathaniel made his appearance upon the scene in 1646-7. Death deprived him of his mother Oseah when he was a tender lad of eight or nine. He seems to have been the only one of Oseah Dillingham's children to survive the perils of infancy. His boyhood days were fraught with the excitements attending the persecutions of his father and Uncle Daniel and others in the neighborhood as Quakers. He was brought up in an atmosphere which inflicted a penalty for entertaining a Quaker, for speaking upon the highway with a Quaker, for being present at an assemblage of Quakers.(7386) He married Sarah Hatch in Falmouth, Barnstable Co., Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts), about 1687.(7387) Nathaniel's marriage to a daughter of Jonathan Hatch of Falmouth doubtless induced him to adventure this settlement at a distance from the neighborhood of his father, brothers, uncles and cousins. He seems to have married "out of meeting" as well, and this may have been also a determining factor. Pocasset was nearby to the Falmouth line and but a few miles from "Hatchville," and here among the Hardys, Swifts and kindred of his wife he elected to make his home.(7388) Jonathon (sic) Hatch had penetrated the wilds on the east shore of Buzzard's Bay as early as 1661, and in his Nathaniel Wing found his wife, the oldest daughter, Sarah, born in Falmouth, March 21, 1664. It was probably due to this marriage, that Nathaniel himself settled on the shores of Buzzard's Bay, in the town of Sandwich, which then extended across the Cape, and not distant from his father-in-law. This marriage may have been between the years 1680-90, at a time when Nathaniel was a bachelor of mature years.(7389) Sarah was born in Saconecet (now Falmouth), (now Plymouth Co.), Plymouth Colony (now MA) 21 March 1664[/5]. Jonathan Hatch & Sarah Rowley Married 11 April 1646 . . . . his Daughter Sarah [born] 21 of March 1664(7390) Barnstable records had born March 21, 1664, while Falmouth records state born March 23, 1665.(7391) Sarah was the daughter of Jonathan Hatch and Sarah Rowley. Sarah Wing, widow of Nathaniel, of Sandwich. Will dated July 8, 1731, proved Oct. 8, 1734. Daughter Mary Wing executrix; mentions sons Joseph, Nathaniel, Ebenezer, "these other daughters" not mentioned; granddaughter Mercy, daughter of Nathaniel. Inventory shows personal estate, £80, 16s.(7392) King Philip's War broke out in 1675, and Nathaniel's half brother, Stephen Wing, was killed in the massacre of Captain Peasre's (sic) company of Seekonk, March 26, 1676. Nathaniel himself then about 30 years of age, enlisted as a soldier in the war, and served in Captain Gorham's company. Bodges Soldiers of King Philip's War at page 440, says that Nathaniel Wing was one of the residents of Sandwich granted lands in the Narragansett Grants, town of Gorham, Maine, for services in this war. His grant appears to be taken by his son Nathaniel. Gorham's company was at the Great Swamp Fight in which the Narragansetts were so thoroughly punished.(7393) He resided in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts) admitted townsman 1681.(7394) The exact date at which settlement began on the Buzzard Bay side cannot be accurately determined, but probably not earlier than 1675. The first deeds to the settlers were from the Indians, it is said, in the Handy family is preserved a deed from an Indian named Numick, given about 1700, the Indian "making his mark." The first Nathaniel Wing was the son of Stephen, who came with his mother, Deborah (Bachiler) Wing, from England to America in 1632, and his first wife, Oseah Dillingham, and was born about 1646. Nathaniel was married about 1680 to Sarah, daughter of Jonathan and Sarah (Rowley) Hatch. Undoubtedly, his first home, probably his only home, after marriage was at Pocasset. The fact that he married into a family resident at Falmouth, leads to the supposition that he located in that vicinity before his marriage, but there is no proof that he did. The village of Pocasset, which in the early days formed a part of the town of Sandwich, is now a village of Bourne, the town having been divided in 1884 and a portion, including Pocasset, set off as a separate town. Pocasset village extends to that portion of the town known as Bourne village, and includes the peninsula known since the very early days as Wing's Neck, and originally included what is now the village of Cataumet. The name Pocasset was probably given by the Indians. The original spelling was "Pokesit." There is a tradition, or legend, that the Narragansett Indians, although their home was in another section, used to frequent that place, and that it was named after their queen, Pocasset. Another theory is that the Indians of that section had a chief Cataumet whose queen, or wife, was Wenaumet. hence the names of those villages. It is said that the first five white settlers of Pocasset bore the names of Lawrence, Swift, Nye, Handy and Wing, and that for many years they were the only families there. In the very early days, before the settlement of Pocasset, a road was cut through a forest of pitch pine trees from Falmouth to Sandwich village, and in those early days the trees were tapped for pitch, which was made into turpentine. Thus the road became known ats the "Turpentine Road." From this old road, which was probably the only one at that time between Falmouth and Sandwich, the first five settlers drew their boundary lines to the bay, the land being taken by them in the order of the names given above; the Lawrence family next to Falmouth, the Wing holdings extending a considerable distance north (including the Neck) with Handy, Nye and Swift between. When the "county road" was laid out it was made to follow the shore, or nearly so, consequently was not a direct route from Pocasset to Sandwich village. As the settlers were obliged to attend church service at Sandwich, they naturally desired to make the walk as short as possible, therefore made a track through the woods which lessened the distance about two miles and became a well traveled road. For many years they were not allowed to maintain a separate church at Pocasset. it was not until the year 1767, nearly one hundred years after the first settlement, that they got permission from the Sandwich church to establish a church in their village. At that date they were sett off as a separate precinct. During all those years they were obliged to go, usually walked, that distance or be fined for non-attendance. While it is said that the first Nathaniel was the owner of that large tract of land, the fact remains that in his will, dated Oct. 4, 1722, and probated December following, no mention is made of real estate. His personal estate was inventoried at £99, 5s, 6d, a considerable one for those days and that locality. If he owned real estate, he must have divided it among his numerous children before his death. it is, however, well known that for many generations the descendants of this Nathaniel have been extensive land holders in that section. Nathaniel9 (Alvin,8 Lemuel,7 Nathaniel,6 Ebenezer,5 Nathaniel,4 Stephen,3 Rev. John,2 Matthew1) was the last large land owner bearing the name of Wing. This Nathaniel, it is said owned a large part of Wing's Neck in addition to extensive holdings east of the Neck. When the survey was made for the railroad now running to Wood's Hole, it was run directly across his land, and although he vigorously opposed it, he was not able to prevent it, and lamented greatly that he should be obliged to give up his possessions, which he said had "come down to him through generations." ... The line between the Wing and Handy estates was a short distance south of the Pocasset House. The Wing possessions included the land upon which stands the hotel and the numerous summer cottages. The road now running past the hotel to Cataumet was formerly a private road over the Wing domains, and closed with gates and bars. About 1855 it was by the town opened as a public highway.... A few rods north of the Pocasset House, in the pasture land on the east side of the road leading down to Pocasset village, may be seen a depression in the ground. This formerly was a cellar, and here stood an old Wing home, described as being "very old and very low in the walls." No one seems able to state with certainty which one of the Wings lived there. Many years ago, probably more than sixty, the house which stood there was moved by Mr. David Dimmock to his land on the county road near Cataumet Church, and for some years occupied by him and his family. About 1855 he removed to Pocasset. The old house stood where he had placed it until 1901, when it was destroyed by fire. Near the spot where the old house originally stood may be found traces of an old road coming out on to the present road between Pocasset and Cataumet very near the hotel, but apparently unused for many years. This, too, was a private road over the Wing lands and originally ran down to a wharf on the bay. On this road faced the "Natty" Wing place, said to have been built by the first Nathaniel, at present the summer home of Mr. Harry Russell of Boston. The story of this old road seems to explain why the front door of the old house is seemingly on the back side - the public highway later laid out running in the rear of the house. On this same road near the present railroad station was still another Wing home, long occupied by the widow of Lemuel. No one states positively that it was the home of Lemuel before his death. The last Wing owners of the old house so occpied were the heirs of Nathaniel9 (Nathaniel,8 Nathaniel,7 Nathaniel,6 Ebenezer,5 Nathaniel,4 Stephen,3 John,2 Matthew1)... Mrs. Bridgeham, granddaughter of the last Nathaniel who occupied the old home, says that it is a family tradition that a portion of the old house was built by the first Nathaniel, but she does not think there is proof that it was. She also says that she has always been told that a portion of the house was moved there from some other place and attached to the original part. She thinks it was an old Wing house, but cannot tell from where it was moved. Mrs. Bridgeham has several pieces of antique glass ware which has come down to her through generations. One piece is no less than 150 years old, a rare relic. She also has an antique box of "whale ivory," so called, made by her great-uncle Thomas Wing while on one of his whaling trips. There exists a list, copied from the oldest precinct records, of the houses between Falmouth and Sandwich in 1790. On this list, No. 20 was given "Simeon Wing's house, perhaps the Lemuel Wing." There seems to be no room for doubt that the house so numbered and referred to is that known as the "Natty Wing place."... Nathaniel, brother of Simeon, died intestate, and Simeon was appointed administrator of his estate and guardian of his minor children. Therefore, it seems reasonable to suppose that upon his removal to Maine his home in Pocasset was taken by some member of his brother's family. The Nathaniel's who have for three generations been the occupants of the old home, were the direct descendants of Nathaniel,6 brother of Simeon. Thus it seems clear that the place now owned and occupied by Mr. Harry Russell was the home from which Simeon and his family went out to the wilderness of Maine. Considering the size of Simeon's family, he having three who died young in addition to ten who went to Maine. There seems ample reason for accepting as truth the tradition that a second house was moved there and attached to the original one, and that the addition was moved by Simeon is more than probable. Simeon and Nathaniel were the sons of Ebenezer, grandson of the first Nathaniel. Possibly their father and grandfather occupied the place before them. The place on Wing's Neck known as the early home of Judah Wing, is now the property of Mr. Cabot of Boston, who has there built a summer home. Of the old house occupied by Judah in the early days, it is said, that even at that very early date it was a very old house, and so insecure that when the high winds prevailed, the were wont to throw over it a huge cable, the ends of which were securely fastened. It was thereby prevented from blowing away into the bay or some other place. It seems possible that this may have been the first Wing home; that Nathaniel built near the Handy's, who were his nearest neighbors, rather than at the extreme northern limits of his estate, where he would have none nearer than Sandwich on the north, and, too, it was not far by water to the home of his father-in-law, Jonathan Hatch...(7396) Nathaniel's settlement in the western part of Sandwich may have been due to a number of causes. First, it is quite apparent that he was out of sympathy with his Father's religious views; second, his younger brother, Elisha had located about this time upon the opposite shores of Buzzard's Bay in the town of Wareham, not more than twelve miles distant across the water; third, his cousin, John Wing, had built his home upon Great Neck, directly across the bay and almost within sight of his own habitation on the east side of the water; fourth, his desire to live in close proximity to his wife's kindred, The Hatches. It is said that the first five families in the present limits of that prart of town of Sandwich bordering on the east shores of Buzzard's Bay were the Lawrence, Swift, Nye, Handy and Wing families, and that for many years they were the only settlers living in that part of town. The holdings of the Lawrence family were adjoining to Falmouth, while the Wings were to the north and the Handys, Swifts and Nyes in between. The exact place of the habitation of Nathaniel Wing is confidently pointed out by his descendants to have been in the present village of Pocasset, and the summer home of Mr. Harry Russell (also a Wing descendant) is believed to be the very house erected by Nathaniel himself. It was for many years known as the "Natty" Wing house, and was occupied by descendants of Nathaniel bearing his name, up to a few years ago. The old house bears signs of antiquity, and was visited by the Wings during the Sandwich reunion of 1908.(7397)(7395) Unconfirmed evidence states that he died in Sandwich, Barnstable, Massachusetts, 17 NOV 1722.(7398) Will dated Oct. 4, 1722, proved Dec. 4, 1722. Sarah Wing, widow of deceased, executrix; mentions wife Sarah and children Nathaniel, Ebenezer, Hozia, Sarah, Marey, Oaseth and Joseph. Inventory shows personal estate, £99, 5s, 6d.; no real estate.(7399) The least understood of all the branches separating from the parent tree at Sandwich in the early days, is the record of Nathaniel Wing, the oldest son of Stehen of the "old fort house." Although Nathaniel lived and died in Sandwich, his home was in that part of the town now designated as Bourne and known then as Pocassett, upon Buzzard's Bay and some ten miles distant through the woods from the first homes centering around Spring Hill(7400). Nathaniel was the only surviving child of Stephen and Oseah (Dillingham) Wing to enter matrimony. He was born about 1646-7 at Sandwich. When scarcely seven years of age his mother died, leaving his father with three infant children, himself the oldest. Within a few weeks, doubtless because of the urgency of the household situation, his father brought a new wife into the home. We find no mention of Nathaniel again until October 29, 1669, when he was about twenty-two years of age, when the following appears upon the court records at Plymouth: "In reference to a shirt stolen by an Indian from Christopher Blake and sold unto Nathaniel Winge, which shirt is now in the custody of the constable of Sandwich, the Court have ordered that said Constable shall return the said shirt to Christopher Blake & to inquire the said Wings to pay 5 shillings to the said Blake in satisfaction for his trouble and charges about it, and 2 shillings & 6 pence to the said Wings be required to look up the said Indian and to bring him or cause him to be brought before some of the magistrates of this jurisdiction to answer for his said act." The action on the part of the Court was taken as a warning and preventive to the whites from purchasing articles of predatory and wandering Indians. In order that we may fully comprehend the circumstances of Nathaniel's early life at Sandwich, it may be well to call attention that he was the grandson of Mr. Edward Dillingham, prominent in Sandwich affairs, and that his uncle was Liut. John Dillingham, who had moved to Harwich with another of Nathaniel's uncles, John Wing about 1656-7.(7401) Nathaniel Wing and Sarah Hatch had the following children: + 151 i.

Godfr(i)edus1 Wynge) was born in Sandwich, Kentshire, England about FEB 1620/1.(7121) We are fortunate in knowing the age of Stephen and that he was three years old in 1624 when his mother embarked from England with him and his older sister Deborah for Holland. Stephen, like his brothers, spent the first years of his life at Flushing and at The Hague, and came to New England with his mother when nine years old. (7122) Stephen Wing Deceased ye 24 day of ye 2 mo 1710(7123) April 25 [1710] "Stephen Wing died aged 88"(7124) It will be noted that Stephen committed, "my body to Decent Buruall at our friends Burieng place att Spring Hill until when God shall please to call me Hence." Unquestionably he lies there among the unmarked graves.(7125) He married twice. He married Ose(i)th-Os(h)ea(h) Dillingham in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts), fall of 1646. Be that as it may, young Stephen and Osheah "loved well but not wisely.".. He married Osheah Dilingham sometime in the Fall of 1646 being at that time twenty-five years of age. Then followed an event possible only under the strict code of morals which devised and punished with the Scarlet Letter. Indiscretions and trivial offenses were taken note of by the rigorous laws of the Pilgrims. At different times, many of the leading men of the Colony were before the Court, charged with irregularities. The rich, the poor, high and low stood upon an equality before the stern mandates of Plymouth. So we must take no particular shame or chagrin to ourselves that young Stephen was before the Plymouth Court, March 2, 1647, and fined because of the fact that a child was born to his wife at an unseasonable time after their marriage. The Court records the "the said Wing coming into the face of the Court, freely acknowledging, he was according to order of the Court fined and discharged." Governor Bradford signed the record.(7126) Oseah was the daughter of Edward Dillingham and Ursula Carter. Oseth Wing the wife of Steven wing Died 29th of aprill Ano: 1654(7128) She was christened in Cottesbach, Leicester, ENG, 10 February 1621[/2].(7129) He married Sarah Briggs in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts), 7 11 mo [JAN] 1654[/5]. [S]tephen Wing and Sarath Bridggs was mareid the 7 of 11. 1654(7130) stephen Wing & sarah Briggs was married ye seventh Day of ye eleventh moneth in ye yeare one thousand six hundred ffifty & foure: 1654(7131) Sarah was born in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts) before 1641.(7132) Sarah was the daughter of John Briggs and Katherine (Unknown). Sarah Wing ye wife of Stephen wing Deceased ye 26 day of ye first moth in ye yeare 1689(7133) She was buried at Spring Hill Cemetery in Sandwich, Barnstable Co., Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts). Unconfirmed evidence states that Sarah was born poss. at England or Lynn, circa 1635. Stephen was listed in a muster roll in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts), AUG 1643. It is generally believed that immediately following the marriage of Stephen and Osheah they located in the "Old Fort House" near Spring Hill. Deborah and her son John, (and possibly Matthew) were living upon their first homestead; Daniel had purchased the Hallett farm, and it was left to Stephen to establish himself with his young family. In the days of the first settlements upon the Cape, the pioneers had at various points built substantial stone and brick enclosures as defences from possible Indian forays. They soon came to know the Cape Indians were inclined to be peaceable and friendly and that these block houses or forts were unnecessary. It seems probable that, thru the influence of his father-in-law and brothers, the town of Sandwich sold or assigned the old fort and its surrounding acres to Stephen. Anyway, he seems to have lived there from the very first.(7137) Swift in his "History of Barnstable Families," says of the "Old Fort House:" "All the old houses at Spring Hill have undergone similar transformations. The Wing House, probably the oldest house in Massachusetts, built before 1643 as a fortification, has been altered so often that little of the original remains." The writer first visited the "Old Fort House" in the summer of 1901, and since that time has carefully examined it many times. Its walls, like those of the majority of the old Cape houses, are shingled. The fort itself now constitutes the parlor of Mr. Wing's home, a room 15x18 feet in dimension. Deep embrasures for the windows show the thickness of the stone walls encased, and old oaken rafters overhead indicate the size of the original building. A great fireplace almost occupies one end of the room, leading to an immense chimney around which the several parts of the building seem to have been gathered. A quaint, narrow stairway leads to the second floor, and the entire ensemble impresses one with its self-evident antiquity... The building nestles at the foot of a hill, just across the old road leading up to Spring Hill Meeting House, a half mile away. At the rear of the house are salt marshes stretching away to the waters of Cape Cod Bay, partially covered at high tide. A full panoramic sweep of the bay is presented, and a five minute walk brings one to the beach itself. We have the satisfaction of knowing that the home of Stephen and Osheah was most pleasantly situated.(7138) The story of the Wing house in brief is told upon a tablet erected by the Wing Family of America, which once or twice has held reunions at this original source of the various branches of the family. It reads: "Stephen Wing, son of the Rev. John and Deborah Wing, settled in Sandwich in 1637. He lived on this land and built this house in 1641. He was a member of the first Friends Meeting in America, established at Spring Hill in 1658, and suffered a great persecution at the hands of the Plymouth Government in the cause of Religious Liberty. He died in 1710 and is buried at Spring Hill." There is, it seems, another version that the house was built in 1637: ...When the house was completed it was believed that Mrs. Deborah Wing lived there, and there is a tradition that the name of Sandwich was given to the town through the Widow Wing in fond memory of Sandwich, England, where her husband had received signal honors. (7139)(7136) Stephen Wing was appointed Constable of Sandwich by the Plymouth Court, January 8, 1655.... Notwithstanding the fact that Stephen Wing had been an official of Sandwich the previous year, in October, 1658, he was, with eight others, denied the "Privileges of towns men" and it was declared that "they had no power to act in town meeting until better evidence appeared of their legal admittance."(7140) We are informed, that the meeting at Sandwich arose in the year 1657. By the year following quite a proportion of the hitherto Puritan community had identified itself with "Friends." The meeting was gathered through the instrumentality of John Copeland and Christopher Holder, who were the first gospel messengers to visit the town. Report went out shortly, that nearly the entire town was adhering to the Quakers, and thus the foundation was laid for a large and flourishing Monthly Meeting of Friends... We are not informed as to the exact time when the Monthly Meeting was organized, or when the first meeting house was built. The written records appear soon after 1670 and the number of members is conjectural. Bowden, the historian, speaks of 18 families as identified with Friends in 1658, and we may assume a steady increase in years following at the present spot and at Falmouth and Yarmouth, which were included in the Monthly Meeting. Yet, in its best days, it never attained to the size of the Monthly Meetings at the westward, as Dartmouth and Rhode Island. There was the difference between the chilling influence of the Plymouth colony and the hospitable atmosphere of the Rhode Island colony, whose activities at Newport.(7142) Then came on the Quaker persecution of 1657. Stephen Wing was one of the first to unite with the Friend's movement at Sandwich. The very first record we find in the Plymouth Court relative to the legal proceedings against the Sandwich Quakers was upon March 2. 1657-8, when Peter Gaunt, Daniel Wing, Ralph and William Allen were brought before the Plymouth Court and admonished for their "tumultuous carriage" at a Quaker meeting, and finally fined twenty shillings apiece for coming before the Court with their hats on. On the same day this entry in the Court record appears: "Lieut. Ellis, Steven Winge and Thomas Hutler, being summoned to answer for tumultuos carriage as aforesaid, being examined, and not found so faulty as supposed, where admonished and clared."(7143) Stephen was elected Town Clerk in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts), at least between 1669 - 1674.(7144) We are fortunate in the possession of an ancient deed executed by Stephen Wing on the 2nd day of December, 1700, the original of which is owned by a member of the Sandwich family, which throws considerable light upon the history of his family. This deed was executed when Stephen was a widower and upward of eighty years of age, and conveys the "Old Fort House" and all its landed possessions in the Town of Sandwich to his sons Ebenezer and Matthew. Matthew was living at that time in Dartmouth and in possession there of an estate of his own, and just why he was selected by his father as a grantee in this deed of the old homestead is not quite clear. The consideration named is two hundred and fifty pounds. The deed was witnessed by Jeremiah Gifford and William Bassett and acknowledged by Stephen Skiffe, Justice of the Peace, and is of record in Barnstable County. It conveys "All that my messuage or Tennement both Dwelling House barn and out Housing together with all my Upland marsh meadow ground Orchards Garden feeding pastures closes yards and all other lands whatsoever situate lying and being within the Town of Sabdwich." It is presumed from this deed that Stephen in his old age made his home with his son Ebenezer who is known to have lived in the "Old Fort House" and it is more than likely that the aged pioneer died there.(7145) When but three years of age, young Stephen seems to have been a favorite with his grandfather Stephen, who by a deed of gift, May 19, 1705, in consideration of "that Good will and natural affection I have and bare unto my grandson Stephen Wing the son of my son Ebenezer," gave to the lad, "all the lands he then owned in the town of Sandwich."(7146) Stephen died testate. Will dated Dec. 2, 1700, proved July 13, 1710. Sons Ebenezer and Matthew executors; mentions sons Nathaniel, Elisha, John, Ebenzer, Matthew, daughters Sarah Gifford, Abigail and grandson Jeremiah Gifford. Inventory shows personal estate, £27, 3s. Stephen Wing "dyed the 24th day of Aprile, 1710." (7147) The three brothers have been characterized thusly: "John was the fearless practical pioneer; Daniel, the idealist and religionist; and Stephen, the scholar and man of affairs." The two latter helped to establish the first Friends' (otherwise Quakers') Meeting in America and it is claimed that this occurred on the farm of Daniel."(7148) For the subsequent thirty years of Stephen's live there is little to be found concerning his public life. He was probably one of the last, if not the very last, of the original settlers of Sandwich to survive. He lived 63 years in Sandwich after the date of the first settlement in 1637.(7149) Stephen Wing(e) and Ose(i)th-Os(h)ea(h) Dillingham had the following children: + 57 i.

It is assumed that she died in infancy. 60 iv. [poss.] Deborah Wing was born in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts) about 1653. Birth site: Old Fort House. OWL records give Stephen & Oseah a daughter, Deborah, (28) born about 1647-48 & died in infancy. This is probably in error. The Sandwich register for the Plymouth Colony Vital Records did not record the parents names for children born in 1648 & 1649. This has caused some difficulty in separating the children of Daniel and Stephen.(7156) The Ephraim recorded at Sandwich born apreli the 2cnd (1649) is said to be the son of Stephen. OWL records have Ephraim, son of Stephen, born 4th month, 21, 1649. The Deborah, born the tenth of October (164[8]) at Sandwich would have to be the daughter of Daniel.(7157) If Stephen & Oseah had a daughter Deborah, she would have been born between 13 NOV 1650 (when Stephen & Oseah's daughter Mercy was born) and 29 APR 1654 (when Oseah died). Stephen Wing(e) and Sarah Briggs had the following children: 61 v. Stephen Wing was born in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts) 2 SEP 1656. Birth site: Old Fort House. Stephen Winge the sonn of Stephen wing was boarne the 2.

They were Benjamin Nye, John Gibb, Stephen Wing, Daniel Bessey, and Caleb Blake. March 26, 1676, Captain Pearse's company was ambushed by the Narragansett Indians under Canonchet at Seekonk, and the day after the battle, the Rev. Noah Newman of Rehoboth wrote giving the names of forty-six of the unfortunate men who fell in the ambush. Among the names were those of Stephen Wing and Benjamin Nye. The facts are told in Bodge's Soldier's of the Colonial wars, pages 331-2. The story of young Stephen, the first to perish in defense of his home and country, is well worth preserving. The five recruits from Sandwich joined Captain Pearse's company, consisting of 50 whites and 20 friendly Indians all from Cape Cod. Captain Pearse was ordered to pursue the enemy who were under the personal leadership of the famous Narragansett Chief Cnoenchet. He came up with them at Seekonk and immediately made an attack. The fighting on the first day resulted in no loss to the whites, who rested that night in the village. The next day, Captain Pearse prepared for the second engagement. At a short distance from the town four or five Indians were discovered limping along as if wounded. Suspecting no treachery, the whites eagerly followed them and soon found themselves in the presence of an overwhelming force. To escape was impossible; to retreat was desperate. A furious attack ensued, and a fresh body of Indians appearing the gallant band like the Spartans at Thermoplae, were completely surrounded, and after a brave resistance of two hours, in which Captain Pearse and his men fought in a double ring, the company was annihilated, and of 50 white, 46 were slain. Thus perished young Stephen Wing in his twentieth year of age.(7160) Conflicting evidence states that Stephen was born in Sandwich, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts), 11th mo, 5, 1656.(7161) + 62 vi.

It is generally believed that she remained with her father and kept house for him in the "Old Fort House" after the death of her mother in 1689. No record has been preserved of her death.(7165) + 65 ix. Elisha Wing was born 2 12 mo. [FEB] 1668[/9]. + 66 x. Ebenezer Wing was born 11 5 mo [JUL] 1671. Birth site: Old Fort House. + 67 xi.

Godfr(i)edus1 Wynge) was born in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England christened 12 January 1584.(7015) John died Will: 2 NOV 1629 - 4 AUG 1630 in St. Mary Aldermary, London, England, at approximately 46 years of age. He married Deborah Bachiler in (Unknown), England, about the year 1609-10.(7016) The influence of the courtship and the marriage of John and Deborah, and the consequent associations with the father of the latter, may have had much to do with the breaking of the young man's relations with his mother church. John Wing and Deborah Bachiler were married about the year 1609-10. It may be conjectured that because John's brother Fulke named a daughter Deborah, born to him in 1608, that the marriage occurred even earlier. At the time of his marriage John was about twenty five years of age, and Deborah barely eighteen. The oldest child, Deborah, was born in 1611. John, the second child, is said by some student of family history to have been born at Yarmouth. He is mentioned in his grand father's will made in 1614, so that it is probable that his birth occurred in 1613.(7017) Deborah was born in Wherwell, Hampshire, England 1591-2.(7018) In the "Q.R. Miscell., 560-562, Licenses to pass beyond the sea, Eliz, to Car. I." Public Records office, London, is this quaint entry: "XXII Junii 1624, Deborah Wynge XXXII years old, wife of Mr. John Winge, preacher, resident in Vlishing, with her two children, vizi, Stephen III years old and Debora Winge XIII years old. Vrs. ib. 't." This is the only record authority we have of the age of Deborah or of her daughter Deborah and son Stephen.(7019) Deborah was the daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler and Deborah Bate(s). Deborah died probably between 1655 - 1680 in Yarmouth, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now MA).(7020) It is believed she was buried at the Dillingham Burying Ground in Yarmouth, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now MA).(7021) It is conjectured that Deborah and her children returned to Holland after the death of her husband. The only proof of this is contained in Q.R. Miscell. 560 (licenses to pass beyond the seas. Eliz. to Car. I.) in the Public Record Office. An item reads: June 23, 1631, Stephen Bachiler, aged 70 years, resident of South Stoneham in Com. Southhampton, et uxer Helen xiviii veeres, vrs fflushing to visite thier sonns and daughters, and so to return within two months." Another, in the same volume reads: "XXV Junii, 1631, Ann Sanborn of age 30 years, widow, resident in ye Strand, vree Vlishing." The sons of Mr. Bachiler known to us were Samuel and Nathaniel and his daughters were Deborah Wing and Ann Sanborn. It is not improbable that Deborah in her widowhood returned to her old home at Flushing. This visit of Mr. Bachiler to his children was fraught with importance to the future of his descendants, for it was made for the purpose of completing final arrangements for the settlement in New England, which occurred the following spring.(7023) When the gentlewoman Deborah and her four half-grown sons, landed with their grandsire Bachiler at Boston in June, 1632, they were unusual emigrants. They came from gentle English homes; they had lived at Hamburg, at Middleburg, at the Hague, and in London; they had crossed seas before; they had been nurtured in the very cradle of English protestantism; they were protestants against the English Church themselves; they were such notable arrivals that Governor Winthrop himself makes mention of their coming in his diary.(7024) While the Wing Family of America is in firm belief that the Wing family came with Rev. Stephen Bachiler in the William and Francis in 1632, Anderson(7025) stated they "came to New England in the late 1630s and resided at Sandwich." Mr. Anderson based his conclusion on the fact that none of the Wing's were mentioned in any contemporary New England record until they settled in Sandwich. According to V. C. Sanborn, Winthrop wrote in his journal that "Mr. Bachiler and Mr. Welde, with their families" came to New England aboard the William and Francis. It is quite likely that Rev. Stephen came with his daughters Deborah & Theodate with their children as well as his Sanborn grandchildren and his grandson Nathaniel Bachiler The family first resided in Saugus, MBC.(7026) Five years went by at Saugus. Then our ancestress, Deborah, and her four sons took up the trek to Shawme--oldest town on the Cape--which later was called Sandwich after their home town across the water.(7028)(7027) Deborah, resided with her son John Wing(e) (II) in Yarmouth, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now MA) by 1648. While the old OWL records claim that John moved his family to Yarmouth around 1656, it is known that he was of Yarmouth by 1648, when his son Ephraim was recorded born there. On 27 AUG 1680 brothers John, Daniel & Stephen agreed to forfeit their right of inheritance to their brother Matthew's estate. Mother Deborah was not mentioned in this record so that undoubtedly she was deceased by this time.(7029) In the meager town records of Sandwich no reference has been found to Deborah Wing. This is not strange. Her son John became the head of her household, and women were not prominent in town or public matters. Mrs. Emma Bartlett Chamberlain, historian of the Wing family, a few years ago found a will and the records of the probate of the estate of one Thomas Howell, a brick layer, who died in Boston in the spring of 1647. It appears that Mr. Howell lived at Duxbury in the Plymouth Colony and the inventory of his estate taken May 31, 1648, mentions "chattels at Kenelm Winslow's, at Thomas Burnes and at Robert Waterman's." Mr. Howell's business seems to have taken him abroad from his home. The reference in his probate papers to "Goodwife Wing" and John Winge undoubtedly referred to Deborah Wing and her son John, to whom, by some chance, he had become indebted. The term "Goodwife" as used by the early colonists, designated the head of a household. For further reference to this record see The Owl at pages 661-662.(7030) The year following the excitement attending the Armada, John Wing entered Oxford University. The school was only twenty-three miles from his home. The matriculation entry is as follows: "John Wynge of Oxon, pleb, St. Alban's Hall, 15 October 1599, aged 14." And on 12 February 1603, Queen's College invested him with the degree of Bachelor of Arts.(7032)(7031) The Rev. John Wing and Deborah, his wife, were at one time in Yarmouth, for their son John appears by the records to have been born there.(7035) [For] a time he was the minister of the wealthy society of Englishmen known as the "Merchants' Adventurers" at Hamburg, in Germany."(7036) His sermon, "Jacob's Staffe" was preached in November, 1617, as his farewell "to the famous fellowship of Merchants Adventurers of England, resident in Homburg."(7037) "..and it is known definitely that he was in charge of a congregation at the old Roman cinque port of Sandwich in Kent at some period prior to 1620. The proof of this is contained in the dedication of his first book, "The Crown Conjugall," printed in November, 1620. He inscribes it "To the Right Worshipfull Master Matthew Peke Esquire, Mayor of the Towne and Port of Sandwich, and to the Worshipfull, the Jurates hes brethren, the Common Counsell and whole Corporation of the same John Wing, doth with Grace and Peace and all good from the living God through the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, by the work of the Holy Spirit. "Your former favours, and the abundant fruits of your love Right Worshipfull and wlbeloved in the Lord) which I have from time to time experienced, ever since it pleased the Lord to cast affliction upon mine external state, doe daily provoke and deeply challenge from me, the manifestation of a thankfull hart unto you all, to whose kindnes I stand a Debtor much engaged to this day."(7038) Rev. John Wing(e) [Wynge] was next found in Flushing, Zeeland, United Provinces shortly before 19 JUN 1620. On 19 June, 1620, he was ordained "under the direction of Mr. John Paget, of Amsterdam, assisted by two Dutch clergymen, and in the presence of the burgomaster and other magistrates," paster of the English churches of Flushing and Middleburg, which were sufficiently near together to be served by one chaplain."(7039) He resided in The Hague, Holland after JUN 1624. He was the first settled English pastor at the Hague, being admitted 11 May 1627. The States of Holland allowed him a subsidy of £300 yearly, which by a decree of 17 August 1628, was augmented to £500. A subscription of £100 was raised by the English, and expended in repairing and beautifying the chapel. This church, or chapel, was much frequented by the royal family, and, especially by Elizabeth, daughter of King James, wife of the exiled King of Bohemia. It was here that Mr. Wing preached 18 May 1624, his sermon, "The Saint's Advantage, or the Wellfare of the Faithfull in the Worst Times," before Queen Elizabeth. This sermon was given at the Hague while Mr. Wing was still in the pastorate at Middleburg. It was printed in London in 1624," by John Dawson for John Bellamie, and was sold at his shop at the Three Golden Lions, near the Royal Exchange."(7040) He made a will in St. Mary Aldermary, London, England, 2 November, 1629. The English records contain this synopsis of his will: "John Winge, late of the Hague in Holland, clerk, now living in St. Mary Aldermary, London, 2 November, 1629, proved Aug. 4, 1630. Certain lands (freehold) in Crickston and Stroud, Kent, shall be sold as soon as conveniently may be and the money thereof arising shall be with all other goods, etc., divided into equal parts, the one to be had, received and enjoyed unto my loving wife, Debora, and the other part or moiety to be equally and indifferently had, parted, divided and enjoyed unto and amongst all my children, share and share alike, except unto and by my daughter Debora whom I have already advanced in marriage.

| Note | The Batchelder Family, 1898, pp. 110 - 120 [Stephen Note] From the Batchelder correction by Batchelder and Brage, cited above, we extract the following additional sources for this "first minister at Lynn MA, of whom much has been written, which will not be duplicated here. For the best earlier accounts see" Rev. Stephen Bachiler, by Charles E. Batchelder in NEHGS Register, volume 46, page 46, 1892, and Stephen Bachilder, an Unforgiven Puritan, by Victor C. Snaborn, 1917. The 1898 book give scant information on 3 wives - unknown name for first wife, 2nd wife Helen, and 3rd wife Mary. The 1985 correction book give a little more, and includes a missed second marriage. Of the first wife, he says: "His first wife, the mother of his children, is unknown, even her first name. Rev. John Bate in calling Rev. Stephen's son his cousin furnishes the only clue I know, and that may be explained in several ways. It is possible Bate and Bachiler were brothers-in-law, or they married sisters". There is a lot of historical information to be found on Rev. Stephen in this book. In the NH Gen. Record article cited above there is listed more sources, and it also clarifies several errors. The article title is Rev Stephen Bachiler of Hampton: Some additional Information, by George Freeman Sanborn Jr. The following paragraphs are quoted from that article. ... That he was married a total of four times is now well known. Further evidence that his first wife and mother of all his children was probably a sister of Rev. John Bate, Bachiler's successor at Wherwell, Hampshire, was discovered by Charles Edward Banks in an English court record (Court of Requests, Public Record Office, London. REQ2/678/64, dated 2 Nov 15 Charles I [1639])... ... That Mr Bachiler returned to England in old age, after the collapse of his fourth marriage, has long been known. Reports that he died in Hackney, Middlesex, in 1660, aged 100 years, appeared in print, but were long ago disproved. [article goes on to show how the error came about, and that the incorrect information pertains to a Rev. John Bachiler]. ... Nothing promising was found [regarding death of Rev. Stephen] until they searched Boyd's index to London burials and found several Stephen Bachilers. One of these appeared to be the correct one, and they wrote: "However, a 1656 entry at Allhallows Staining, London, states 'Steeven Batchiller, Minester, that dyed att Robert Barbers, was buryed in the new churchyard Octob 31th 1656.' John Good was parish rector 1654-1662, so this entry does not relate to a rector of the parish and would appear to be our client's ancestor." [After more about payment for the knell (tolling of the bell), it continues] ... Evidently, then, Rev. Stephen Bachiler was buried ... presumably aged above 90 years, as he had matriculated at St John's College, Oxford, on 17 November 1581, and would later give his age as 71 years upon his arrival in the Massachusetts Bay Colony aboard the William and Francis on 5 June 1632). ... It is ironic that Mr Bachiler was apparently buried just seventeen days after his fourth wife petitioned for a divorce in New England, alleging that he had gone to England many years since and married again [sources cited]. There is no evidence that he did in fact, marry again in England, and he could not have been there more than two years. It is not clear whether the divorce was ever granted. | |

| Source | http://www.uftree.com/UFT/WebPages/RaymondWing/WINGDESC/d0/i2002900.htm#i2002900 Second Generation 3. Matthew2 Wing(e) [Wynge] ([poss.] Rev. Godfr(i)edus1 Wynge) was born about 1548-50.(6989) The first known mention we have of Matthew Wing is contained in the records of St. Mary's Church at Banbury, under date of 21 April 1576, when his second son, Thomas, was "christened." There is no record of his marriage or of the birth of his oldest son Fulk. From this, we infer that Matthew was born in the days of the boy king, Edward VI, about the year 1548-50. The records of St. Mary's go back to 1558, the year of Queen Elizabeth's ascension to the throne. Prior to that, during the days of Queen Mary, 1553-1558, St. Mary's was a Roman Catholic holding.(6990) He was buried 19 OCT 1614 at St. Mary's Parish Churchyard in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. Mathew Wing made the request in his will that his body should be buried in St. Mary's churchyard. Somewhere in this ancient burial grounds lie the bodies of Matthew and Mary. There are no memorial stones in the burial ground. In his history of the "Former Parish Church of Banbury," Mr. William Potts thus refers to the absence of ancient gravestones in the burial grounds, "The Former Church contained the monuments of preceding generations, none of which, it is to be regretted, were preserved and replaced in the new Church. The Church Building Act of 1790, under which the destruction of the old Church, was allowed, enacted "That in taking down the said old Church Chancel and Tower, as little damage shall be done to the Graves, Grave Stones, Monuments, and Monumental Inscriptions, as shall be necessarily removed. Inscriptions in and about the same as reasonably may be, and that such Grave Stones, on account thereof, shall be at the Charge and Expense of the Person or Persons interested therein, and requesting the same be fixd on such part or parts of the Site of the said old Church or Chancel, for answering as far as may be the Purposes for which they were originally laid or put up, as the Trustees shall think fit." "In spite of this the monuments seem to have been totally destroyed. Apparently no persons were sufficiently interested in the memorials of old families to come forward and take advantage of the clause in the Act which enabled them to be preserved. It seems strange that those of such families as the Copes of Hanwell, the Chamberlains of Wykham, the Danvers of Culworth and Calthrop who certainly had representatives, if not lineal descendants, living at the time should have been allowed to perish. The old families of the town, such as the Knights and Whateleys, had apparently died out, and had no one to save their monuments from demolition. The absence of any persons legally entitled to demand the preservation of the monuments cannot, however, exempt the Trustees under the act from blame which must ever attach to them for the sacrilegious breaking up of tombs, which was the worst features of an altogether regrettable undertaking. A relic of a monument only appears to have been used for a memorial purpose and that is the mediaeval effigy of an ecclesiastic, which lies in the churchyard on the tomb of a parish clerk of the last century. Some of the tombstones were used to pace the floor of the new Chancel in its original condition. Fortunately we have a list of some of the monuments as they existed in the Church early in the eighteenth century in the collection of Dr. Rawlinson, which, on his death in 1755, were bequeathed by him to the Bodleian Library." According to Potts, "A considerable amount of damage to the ornamental parts of the interior of the Church seems to have been done by the Puritans during the reigns of Elizabeth and James I, and afterwards the Church suffered greatly during the Civil War, when it was in the hands of the Parliamentarian soldiers and was used by them as a vantage point from which to fire on the castle, the fire from which it received in return." Oxford, twenty three miles distant, was the seat of the government of Charles I, during his war with parliament, and Banbury was the scene of many stirring conflicts. The great battle of Edge Hill was fought seven miles northwest of the town. Thirty years after the burial of Matthew Wing, the bullets of Roundheads and Cavaliers were literally hurtling over his grave, and the ground covering him, trampled upon by contending armies locked in the arms of a deadly Civil War.(6991) He married Mary (Unknown) about 1573.(6992) (Additional notes for Mary (Unknown)(6993)) She was buried 24 JUL 1613 at St. Mary's Parish Churchyard in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England.(6994) The vital records of St. Mary's church at Banbury had been kept for eighteen years before the name Wing appeared upon the church books, in April, 1576, when the baptism of Matthew's second son, Thomas, was recorded. The fact that from this time on for a period of more than one hundred years the name of the family appears with regularity and frequency, it may be surmised that Matthew and his wife Mary married elsewhere, and that their first son, Fulk, was not a native of Banbury.(6995) The will of Matthew Wing is dated August 9, 1614 and it was proved in Court November 15, 1614. He named his sons Fulk and Thomas as his executors, and the document designated himself as a tailor. He records his wish that he be buried in the churchyard of St. Mary's and makes bequests as follows: "To the poor of Banbury, 10s; to his eldest son Fulk, lease of house in which testator dwells and £20; to second son Thomas 40s; to son-in-law Robert Chamberlain £10; to daughter Joana, 20s; bequests were left to the children of Fulk, viz: Anna, Dorcas, Mary and Matthew; to John, son of Thomas; to Deborah and John, children of son John; to John Nichols, son of son-in-law John Nichols; to William, son of fourth son James; to Thomas, son of son-in-law Robert Chamberlain; to the children of Richard Gillivar, viz: John, Thomas and Phebe. It will be noted that Matthew makes no mention of his son Matthew in his will. We are unable to account for the bequests to the children of Richard Gulliver, who were undoubtedly in some way closely connected with the family.(6996) Unconfirmed evidence states that Matthew died in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England, 16 OCT 1614.(6997) Matthew Wing(e) [Wynge] and Mary (Unknown) had the following children: + 4 i. [poss.] (Unknown)3 Wing(e) was born about 1572. + 5 ii. Fulk(e) Wing(e) was born about 1574. + 6 iii. Thomas Wing(e) [Wynge] was born christened 21 APR 1576. 7 iv.

Godfr(i)edus1 Wynge(6979) was born in Liege, Liege, Belgium about 1526.(6980) Godfr(i)edus died 3 SEP 1595/7 in London, England, at 70 years of age.(6981) He married Levina Grant ? circa 1545.(6982) (Additional notes for Levina Grant?(6983)) Levina died 1562.(6984) It is possible that Matthew Wynge was the son of Rev. Godfr(i)edus Wynge, an early minister at Sandwich, England. Some family members believe it is more than a coincidence that two generations later Rev. John Wyng also served as minister to the same Sandwich Church. However, neither the Wing Family of America, Inc., nor the compiler is aware of any other evidence that links these two ministers. In addition, an early OWL recorded the following: Mr. Leander J. Wing, of Lexington, Mass. and his daughter, Mrs. Mabel Wing Castle, late of Honolulu, have been in England for several months, and while there, made inquiry of eminent genealogists as to the possibilities of tracing the Wing family ancestry beyond Matthew Wing of Banbury. The following very interesting communication written by Lothrop Witherington, an eminent London genealogist to Mrs. Castle, and by that lady transmitted to Mrs. Chamberlin, under date of June 30, 1910, would indicate that the possibilities of making further finds in England are not by any means exhausted. Mr. Witherington writes: "According to promise I send you some suggestions concerning the ancestry of your ancestors, the Rev. John Wing and his wife Deborah Bachelor. Practically, all that is at present generally known concerning the Rev. John Wing, is the information discovered by my old friend the distinguished genealogist, Mr. Henry Fitz Gilbert Waters, whose work I am continuing in connection with my other undertakings, and all of whose manuscripts, including the Wing notes, are now in my possession. To these notes, I have added important information myself, and, I think, sufficient data, if I am given the opportunity to adequately work up the proofs, to carry the pedigree back several generations. Mr. Waters printed in his "Genealogical Gleanings" the wills of Rev. John Wing himself, which is in folio 73 of Register Scroope of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and of Matthew Wing in folio 111 of Register Lowe of the same Court. The will of the Rev. John Wing was annotated by my deceased friend Mr. Whitmore, the late City Registrar of Boston, and one of the most accomplished genealogists New England has ever had. Mr. Whitmore showed at once that the supposed first John Wing of Sandwich in New England given in Savage's Dictionary was a myth, and that Deborah Bachelor came over as a widow with her children, her husband who had been one of the pastors of the Puritan exiles in Holland had died in the famous parish of St. Mary Aldemary near Cheapside in London in 1629, the year before the great fleet went over to Boston with Winthrop. Mr. Waters also showed that the Rev. John Wing was the son of Matthew Wing who died at Banbury in Oxfordshire in 1614, being a tailor in that famous market town. Mr. Whitmore rarely made a mistake and I suppose he is correct in this case, though I do not quite see the complete proof, but I have not, on such short notice, had sufficient time to go thoroughly into the question.(6985) If Matthew Wing of Banbury was the father of Rev. John Wing, I think that I have the father of Matthew Wing, but wish further opportunity of confirming my notes before committing myself. Although there are various Wings whose wills are found in Oxfordshire before the date of Matthew, they are mostly connected with the yeomanry, and Matthew belonged to an eminently worthy trade, the cloth industry, far and away the most important in England at that epoch, and the back-bone of the great Puritan movement. I have found the will of a cloth worker in quite a different shire, but in a famous town for New England ancestry, who leaves an only son Matthew, just a generation before the date of the man of Banbury. With such a rare surname one can fairly deduce that this is pretty near the mark, though sometimes we stumble first on the wrong individual, but they usually prove to be near cousins. The name of Matthew becomes specially interesting when we find that some of the Wings of this connection had connections named Grant, at once suggesting the origin of that famous old New England pioneer, Matthew Grant of Dorchester, afterwards the first town clerk of Hartford and ancestor of General Grant. Mr. Waters also presented the will of Simon Wing, a tailor of St. Clement-Danes near Temple Bar in London, who died in 1626 or 1627 and whose will is in folio 29 of Register Skynner. He rather confuses the issue, as he has brothers Matthew and John who seem to be not the same as the Rev. John and his brother, but they are probably another generation... The fact remains that there are two parishes named Wing in England. One Wing All Saints in Buckinghamshire aforesaid, and a tiny Wing St. Peter and St. Paul in Rutlandshire. Perhaps the two have some mysterious connection. They could each be the origin of the name, and might be the source of a similar name for two quite distinct families... The Rev. John Wing was doubtless descended at some epoch from a knightly family, though his immediate connections were industrial, and thus the name was doubtless manorial, and the overwhelming probability is that it came from Buckinghamshire parish. Wing in Buckinghamshire has become famous from its inclusion in the famous jingle "Tring, Wing and Ivinghoe Hampdon did forego For striking of a blow." ... "Wing" is however in itself by far the most historic and interesting of the three. It was the seat of a priory founded by the Empress Maud as an adjunct to the great Benedictine Establishment at Angers the capitol of the Plantagenet husband, the Count of Anjou, whose great fortress still remains today the most impressive sample of medieval warlike strength, putting even the tower of London to shame. At the suppression of the religious houses under Henry VIII. "Wing" fell for a time into the hands of Cardinal Wolsley in the brief interval before his own historic personal disaster. In the meanwhile during all these intervening centuries some of the most famous baronial families had been connected with "Wing" and the Queen's consorts of England had been patrons to this church. This makes the analysis of the Wing coat of arms most interesting. Az, a green maunch. The maunch is preeminently the coat of Robin Hood house of Hastings, the earls of Huntingdon, and also the famous houses of Tonez (the Knights of the Swan), of De la Ware, and of Congers, also of the fairly well known houses of Wharton, Staverton, Calthorpe, Mahun, Buller, Norton, Fleming, Mounsell, Thukhall, Aschem, Flamville, Heyford, and Grosby. Far more to the point, however, is the fact the "mounce vert" is alone given by Glover to Pagnell of Bringham. Now the great house of Pagnell connects Lincolnshire and Buckinghamshire, having famous seats in both. And if the Wings are a branch of the Pagnells, it would account for their green mouche, and their double connection with distant shires... (6986) [poss.] Rev. Godfr(i)edus Wynge and Levina Grant? had the following children: 2 i. [poss.] John2 Wing(e) Alderman of Banbury. He married Anne Bartlett 1589.(6987) The Chronicles of Banbury note, under the year 1608, that the Charter of King James to Banbury, given 28 June 1608, appoints John Pym, John Winge, Robert Bentlye, George Moslye, Edward Wisdome, and John Austen to be Chief Burgesses for life, unless they shall any of them be removed by the majority of the Council. John Wing remained a Chief Burgess during the residue of his life, and it is recorded in the books of St. Mary's Church among the "burials" that Mr. John Wing, Alderman of Banbury," was buried 22d Nov. 1626.(6988) + 3 ii. Matthew Wing(e) [Wynge] was born about 1548-50. Send email to preparer: raymond.wing@snet.net Return to Table of Contents or Index Go to Next Page | |
