Thanks Jim. There is much good info in your data. I'm not sure how much might be new as I did a pretty good job collecting Wingard data last summer. It will take some careful comparisons to refresh my memory and to discover any differences between your file and the others. quote John Wingard and Polly Zent with children: Jacob, John, daughter and Joseph. Most of the information fits what I had put together. His birthday was September 13, 1798, and he married Polly Zent on March 8, 1821. Hist. of Mont. Co KS. unquote It's this reference to Montgomery County Kansas that I had seen before, can't remember where. Perhaps it was a posting by Lee Wingard or James Shafer??? When I first saw it, I think I assumed that it involved a migration of John Wingard and Polly Zent to Kansas. Thinking more about it, however, they would have been getting a bit old for such an endeavor. What I think really happened, is that their son Joseph Wingard migrated and stopped in DeKalb, Indiana. His son John E. Wingard (with Ella and sons) went to Kansas and became Montgomery County settlers. The reference in the Mont. County History is likely a mention of John E. Wingard's Ohio based grandparents. Well that's the theory. Will have to get a look at the actual history book some day. Seems most probable then, that John Wingard and Polly Zent stayed and died in Stark County. Any clues there would be appreciated. Meanwhile, I'll scrub Stark County records a bit on line. Turns out that the Wingard farm property which was turned over to John's sons Frank and Homer, was just a few miles north of where I lived for a few years in Independence Kansas. My wife's family (Theodore Wingard and Lucille Salsbury, son of E.T. Wingard, grandson of B.F. Wingard, ggrandson of Jacob Wingard....) also lived in Independence where Ted came to work for Sinclair Pipeline company in the late 1940's. Turns out that they were aware of the other clan of Wingards in Independence but thought they were not related -- farmers, go to different church, etc! When I was tracking this Wingard data, I discovered that they all shared the same GGGGrandparents - John Wingert and Polly Zent. Wonder what they'd have thought or done if they'd known how they were related? I've got a couple photographs of B.F. Wingard, Avarintha, E.T. Wingard, Carma (Fried) Wingard on disk if you are collecting such stuff. They can be large files to copy, especially if they are not in your primary line of research!!! so I won't bother you with them here. Can send if you desire. George Kasten |
