2009 was a terrbile year for the Wing Guestbook. I think we had 3 or 4 before I finally settled on the present one that we have now. I did my level best to save every entry from every guestboook that we had. Sometimes it was not possible so I am sure a few have been lost...but very few.
Each and every legitimate entry is valuable to the WFA. That was one of the reasons that we had such a variety of guestbooks last year. We wanted our visitors to be safe and to know that their emails were not being spammed. Aside from that, we often got obnoxious entries that could not be deleted. It was imperative to have a safe place for our family. I think we have finally found it. 2009 Wing Family of America Guestbook Entries |

Thank you for sponsoring such a site. jr.wing@yahoo.com Entry #: 47 Entry Date: 2009-01-06 07:23:29 Name: Bertie Williams Email: Protected Site Rating: 10 Visitor Comments: Greetings: I am hoping you can identify a Wing family member. The name is Charles H Wing. In 1839 he commanded a Rifle Co out of Bangor, ME in defense of the Northeastern Boundary. Feb 20, 1839 He should have been born between 1800 & 1818. Bangor was one of 3 Rendezvous sites (Augusta & Calais) so presume he lived in Penobscot, Somerset or Piscataquis County-Hancock was a stretch. His roster said he traveled 75 miles to Bangor. another clue is his "servant" was C. V. S. Wing dark complexion, 5 ft 5 3/4 inches tall black eyes, Black hair. Generaly Commissioned officers had younger brothers or close cousins as servants as they needed to depend on them for eyes and ears. Several of the men in Capt Wing's company have been identified as being from the Lincoln, Penobscot Area. There was a second rifle co out of Dover which might limit area.Can you identify Capt Wing and his servant?

We would be interested to learn of any stories about there lives in Waldoboro. A plasterer signed his name on the wall lath in 1851, but I am not certain that is when the house was built since there was an early remodeling. The house is next door to the Isaac "Reed Mansion" so I was not surprised to see one of there sons named Isaac Reed Patten.

"In the search of natural nobility, a man cannot go a readier, or surer way than to the progenitors of whom he is descended, and if we finde he come'es of such parentage, we presently conclude, he is an honorable personage." From "The Crown Conjugal", Rev John Wing, A.D. 1620. My brother and I are descendants of Stephen. A better description of this was printed in the Fall, 1983 edition of the Owl, p. 4506 and 4507.

We could use an update from you Muriel...you can go to the main page on the website and fill us in on your personal history. I wish you would do that. Although we would love it if you joined the WFA...it is not a stiputlation. Just update us. So we can have the best database we can have. Thank you so much for signing the guest book. Toni 28 Gail Wing Maffett booker299@comcast.net Location: Stuarts Draft, VA IP: 67.187.5.195 Saturday 03/21/2009 09:36:11 CDT Hello all, I am the oldest daughter of Herman E Wing. I have two siblings, Mark and Kaye. I know my father was born in Mississippi and his father's name was Harold Wing who I believe was also born in Mississippi but I am not sure I know which of the sons I "stem" from. 29 Toni Nash tnash74528@aol.com IP: 98.222.45.102 Saturday 03/21/2009 16:51:38 CDT Hi there Gail...you and your brothers descend from Daniel Wing & Anna Ewer...through his son, Bachelor Wing and Joanna Hatch and then it goes on and on. I am almost certain that our Wing family Genealogist, Raymond T. Wing will be in touch with you. You have a very interesting lineage. Thanks so much for posting. 30 Toni Nash tnash74528@aol.com IP: 98.222.45.102 Saturday 03/21/2009 17:24:03 CDT I am now going to make a Wing Public Service Announcement. For those Wing family members out there that visit the site but have not joined the Wing Family of America, Inc., (hereafter referred to as the WFA) I need to point out a few things. Number 1...without the WFA this site would not even be online. When I first logged on to the internet way back in 1994, there was nothing online about the Wing family. Nothing that you could understand. About 1997, Raymond Wing posted a genealogy that I found by accident and it opened a magic door for me. My roots were found and well documented. Now you can just go online and virtually everything you ever wanted to know it at your fingertips. #2. The sad thing about it is that it hurts the WFA. Family, our WFA is the oldest and first among private family organizations in the United states to have published a family periodical like we do. And the next publication of the OWL will be our 100th Volume of our publication. We should be so proud. The WFA does not ask for much. A small fee to join the organization and it can only survive through new memberships...and for those members to continue their membership and pay their dues. #3...Last but certainly not the least is that membership in the WFA supports the Wing Family Fort House. We, this family, all of us own the Wing Family Fort House, the house that Stephen Wing first bought and moved in to with his first wife, Oseah Dillingham. No doubt Oseah died in the house and is very likely buried out back somewhere because there were no proper cemeteries to bury her in 1654 at Sandwich, Massachusetts. We own this house. It is the oldest home in north America own continuously by one family. The Wing Family Fort House has been owned by someone in the Wing family since Stephen Wing bought it in the early 1600's. The WFA bought it in 1942 from Cora Wing....a descendant of Stephen Wing. It is expensive to maintain that home. The WFA does not get one cent from the state or the federal government for it's upkeep. But it is too important to let go. It is our own personal touchstone, a homestead that we know Mother Deborah was at many, many times and no doubt stayed there for weeks at a time. Stephen Wing died in that home. And finally, after much preaching, I can only say this...just think about it. The most important aspect about the whole WFA is the socialization of cousins, the connection, the idea of keeping our roots alive and learning as much as we can about who and what we are. How many people with the last name of Wing have you met outside of your own family? How many do you see in the telephone book...unless you come from New England. It is a rare and beautiful name with a rare and beautiful heritage and we need as many Wing's as possible to join in. We have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, that need to learn of their heritage...and if we aren't careful, our organization could dissolve with this generation. Let's don't let that happen. We are a non-profit organization. What that means is that no one who serves in any capacity on the board gets any monetary or material payment. We all work for free. Today, 17 of us spent 3 hours and 20 minutes on a telephone conference trying to decide how money should be spent, how we can further the objective of the WFA, how we can work to further our family cause. And when it is all said and done, it can only be done by you all. Otherwise, our distinctive and proud family organization is going to dwindle to nothing at all. And then it all goes...the website, the OWL, the homestead will finally be sold to Massachusetts state who will put outside toilets and pop machines all over the place. Just think about it. We are a family. We are Wing's and Wing descendants. My mother was a Wing and I am proud of that heritage. I hope you are too. Toni Cox Nash Corresponding Secretary/Web Hostess for the WFA and very proud of it. 31 Halford R Wing wynge1@yahoo.com IP: 65.35.143.20 Sunday 03/22/2009 21:36:25 CDT Toni, Just looking around to see what is happening. I am sure the family has all of my pertinent information. I like this style of guest book. I'm sure we should be able to get some new members for the Wing Family of America. 32 Deborah Lillian Wing deborahwing@yahoo.com Location: Oregon IP: 24.22.48.170 Monday 03/23/2009 01:29:43 CDT I am Deborah Lillian Wing daughter of Alvin Veral Wing Sr. (deceased) we are decendants of Stephen Wing, Sandwhich, Mass. I could not gain access to any other information or links on this page except for the guest book, whats up? I had the same problem trying to access Wing genealogy website. 33 Guilford John Perry rm1usnret73@msn.com Location: Wimauma, Florida IP: 71.101.7.47 Monday 03/23/2009 18:46:29 CDT This is the entry for the Perry family and appears to be the first generation. The complete family history is recorded at the Bourne Historical Society on Cape Cod........ The Perry name was well represented among both Puritans and Pilgims. The earliest record we have was in 1630, when there were two brothers, John and Edward Perry, living in Monument or Sandwich. From John this family is descended. Edward had no sons and only one daughter who married a Wing, from whom are descdended the Wings of Sandwich. 34 Toni Nash tnash74528@aol.com Location: Decatur, Illinois IP: 98.222.45.102 Tuesday 03/24/2009 07:12:34 CDT Thank you for signing the guest book John. Yes, the Perry family is very well represented among the puritans and pilgrims...and Quakers as well. The Wing family honor all our lines of heritage. And one of those noble lines is the Perry family. This is from the records of the Friends' at Spring Hill: "This is to certifie the truth to All whom it may concern - That john Wing ye son of Stephen Wing & Mary Perry ye daughter of Edward Perry both of ye towne of Sandwich : the said john & mary haveing intentions of marriage accordidg to ye ordinance of God & his joyning, did Lay it before ye men & womens Meeting did the said john & mary manifest their aforesaid intentions of marriage at which meeting did those friends who so desired to make inquirie concerning their clearness Return their answer, which was yt they found nothing but yt they were both cleare from any intanglement or engagement to any others as touching marriage: also their intention of marriage being published according to ye order of the Govmt: so all things being cleare: A meeting was apoynted at ye house of Edward Perry for ye manifestation & Confirmation of their joyning together in marriage" at which meeting in ye Presence of God & of his people did ye said john & mary take each other man & wife according to ye Law of God & ye practice of ye holy men of God mentioned in ye scriptutes of truth: they then both promising to Live faithfully together man & wife till deaath should separate them & they both setting their name unto: which was ye 22 of ye 7 mo. in ye year 1685 God in heaven is witness to this your act.

My parents recently passed away so I guess I should have started this sooner. Anyway, I believe we are related. My mother was Linda Sue McMonigal. Her mother was Doris McMonigal.

Her youngest son Bruce is my maternal grandfather. It's so great to be able to jump on the internet and find info about my family. 55 Toni Nash tnash74528@aol.com Location: Decatur, Illinois IP: 205.188.117.17 Monday 05/18/2009 04:33:33 CDT Thank you for signing the Guest Book Cynthia! We need to learn more about you! We have several Wallace's and Russells and a few William Charles Wing's. I am so glad that you found this site. There are a lot of us, but unless you live in the New England area you rarely see another Wing in the telephone book. I always have to flap my arms when people need my mother's maiden name because they always think you are saying "Wayne" or something. Have you read that there is an Annual Reunion this year at Seaside, Oregon? You could attend and meet lots of Wings.

I have a copy of the family history section of his family bible. Charles Fox Wing not only listed family members, but also the slaves birthdates. The list is as follows: 1. Lena - 03/14/1797 2. Malinda - 10/21/1804, I think this was Moses Wing's mother because she was named in a paper written by May Short reno as the the family cook. May Short Reno was Charles Fox Wing's grandaughter 3. Tarlton - 03/08/1813, I think this was my great great great grandfather 4. Emily - 11/28/1815, I think this was my great great great grandmother 5. Henry - 11/08/1819 6. John - 07/27/1822 7. Laurinda - 04/17/1824, I think Laurinda was given a wedding by the daughters of Charles F. Wing. She was allowed to marry (or jump the broom)Charles Matthews who was also a slave. 8. Thornton - 05/17/1825, was given to Charles F. Wing's brother-in-law, Edward Rumsey 9. Moses - 05/25/1827, Charles Fox Wing's son 10. Henrietta - 03/24/1862, was my great aunt 11. Robert - 03/20/1862, was my great uncle and a brother to Henrietta 12. Emily - 04/30/1864, was my great grandmother 13. George - Jan. or Feb. 24, 1838, was my great great grandfather, his oldest male child was named Tarlton and his oldest female child was Emily(nos. 3 & 4). I am positive that Henrietta, Robert, Emily and George were members of my family. Please send me all the info you have on the slaves of Captain Charles Fox Wing. I have a lot of info on Captain Wing, his father, Barnabas Wing and Kentucky Wing family members including Albert Wing, Captain C. F. Wing's grandson. 53 Toni Nash tnash74528@aol.com http://www.wingfamily.org Location: Decatur, Illinois IP: 64.12.117.17 Friday 05/15/2009 03:33:22 CDT Dear Larry, Thank you so much for signing the guest book.

Cindy 75 David Allen Wing dwing16@cfl.rr.com Location: Palm Bay, Florida IP: 67.8.201.56 Tuesday 10/06/2009 02:11:50 CDT Tonight I just finished tracing my family roots back to Deborah (Bachiler) Wing, husband Rev. John Wing(e)of the Plymouth Colony. I have subsequently discovered that all Wings in America trace back to Deborah and her 3 sons, John, Matthew and Stephen who came over on the ship William and Francis landing in New England June 5 1662. I was very surprised to find out my families origins trace back to Plymouth Colony, pleasantly surprised and that there is also a Wing Family of America, Inc organization. I guess the family tree I have been working on and family genealogy is now a little redundant, lol. Well I wanted to sign the guest-book and say hi to all the Wings. I'm sure I will be visiting this site quite often. Warm regards, David Allen Wing 76 Karen Vandehey kamperkatz@hotmail.com Location: Keizer, OR IP: 66.224.123.71 Wednesday 10/07/2009 14:49:26 CDT Any of you related to a Joel Wing who married Arcelia Conklin?

My name is Steven Purcell. My great grandfather and great grandmother are what sparked my interest in WFA. Monta Eldo Wing and Martha Wing (maiden name Robinson). Martha lived to be 101 years old and I had the opportunity to visit with her before she passed and that I'm greatful for. She left a lot of family treasures to be cherished, as did Monta. Monta passed away before I was born but their life together amazes me. He was the Geology professor of Beloit college and still has a fund in his name to this day in his memory. They traveled the world together and I have something from each place, beautiful things that I treasure that I hope to share with everyone someday. I am a descendent of Daniel Wing, I believe to be more specific his wife Deborah Bachelor, but when I looked up my grandma (Mary Wing Kingman) her line went directly to Daniel himself. I am 23 years old, WFA needs young members that appreciate their lineage. I got my brother, mother, and son (who is just 5 years old) members of the WFA where they otherwise wouldn't have taken interest. It's been fun sharing with all of you and wish you all the best. 78 Elaine Bragdon ebragdon@gwi.net Location: Lewiston, Maine IP: 72.224.173.123 Saturday 10/17/2009 20:51:35 CDT George Herbert Wing (M) b. 6 April 1878, d. 6 April 1958 Pop-up Pedigree George Herbert Wing was born on 6 April 1878.
