  1.   ISAAC was b 10 July 1764 in Perth Amboy, N. J. three weeks before the death of his mother. He d 26 Dec 1852 md 24 Oct 1786 Ellener (Eleanor) DeLong dau of John DeLong of Smithfieid. This date was passed down in the records of descendants. The marriage entry is found in the registers of Rev. Elis van Bunschoten who simultaneously held the Dutch pastorates of Mahackemeck (Deerpark), now Port Jervis, N. Y. Minisink (Montague), Sussex Co, N. J., and Walpeck, N. J. Unfortunately the Rev. erred and entered the groom's name as Jacob, confusing Isaac either with his father or half-brother. During the Revolution Isaac served as a ranger of the frontier (Pa, Archives Series --, 23, 299). He received depreciation pay. Northampton Co. (Series V, 4:354). He may also have been the Isaac of Orange Co., N.Y. Militia, across the Delaware River, but no proof. He had settled, in Northampton Co., Pa. with his father by 1774.

    Eleanor was b 23 May 1765 either in N. Y. state or along the Delaware in Northampton Co., Pa. or Sussex Co., N. J. A land warrant in her maiden name, inherited from whom is unstated, appears in Northampton Co. land records for 11 May 1793. An unfortunate claim is made by her dau Hannah in the 1880 census that her parents Isaac and Ellener were b in Delaware. Doubtless the entry for Pa. where Hannah, then aged 75 was b, was related by a child, and the younger generations of this branch of the Winans Family adopted a tradition that the family had come from Delaware to Ohio, rather than from the banks of the Delaware River.
