Welcome Family

The Association in 1942 purchased the OLD FORT HOUSE, in Sandwich, Massachusetts, the ancestral home of Stephen Wing. This home is one of the oldest houses in New England and the oldest which continuously has remained in the possession of members of the same family through successive generations. The house has been restored and is currently used as a historical Memorial Museum. The Fort House was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1976 and is open from Mid-June to mid-September for visitors.

BACKGROUND Members in the United States and Canada can trace their ancestry to Matthew Wing of Banbury, England. One of his sons, the Reverend John Wing, a graduate of Queen’s College, Oxford, was a prominent clergyman in London in the years just after the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He became a dissenter from the teachings of the established church, crossed the English Channel and preached to the English Churches in Germany and Holland. After his death, his widow Deborah came with her four sons and her father, the Reverend Stephen Bachiler, to Boston in 1632 and settled in Saugus, now Lynn. When the "ten men of Saugus" received a grant from the crown in 1637 to that part of Cape Cod which lies south of Plymouth Colony, Mother Deborah and three of her sons, John, Daniel, and Stephen, joined this group and were among the original settlers of Sandwich. There is evidence that the fourth son, Matthew, returned to England. Descendants of John, Daniel and Stephen, in successive generations, followed the tides of migration into many parts of the United States from Maine to California, into the Southern states and north to Ontario and Western Canada. They have made substantial contributions to the American way of life. Wing descendants have taken part in all the great events of this country from its founding to the settling of its frontiers in its ever westward developments as well as spreading into Canada. During the almost four centuries on this continent they have built a family record of which we may be justly proud.
