Caleb Winget

Caleb Winget was born circa 1777 (tombstone) possibly in New Jersey and died on May 17, 1842 in Sodus Township, Wayne County, New York. He was buried at South Sodus Cemetery, Sodus Township, age 65. (1) Caleb married Mary Farris circa 1805. (2) Mary was born circa 1782 in New Jersey (census) (3) and died on October 20, 1872 in Mundy Township, Genesee County, Michigan. (4) She was buried at Mt. Hope Cemetery.

Caleb and Mary were in New York by circa 1806 (son Reuben’s birth) and in Phelps, Ontario County, New York by 1810 with three sons, one daughter and possibly two relatives (census). Ten years later there were four sons and four daughters (1820 census). An early deed record places Caleb in Phelps in April 1819. (5), (6) They remained in Phelps for nearly twenty years. Caleb and Mary sold property to David and Thomas Beeman for $400 in 1828. (7) By 1830 the family had moved about thirty miles north to Sodus Township, close to the shore of Lake Ontario, where Caleb died.

Census information indicates that Caleb and Mary had eight or more children, probably at least four daughters. Their known children were Aaron, Reuben, Caleb B., and David – also possibly Dyantha S./Diantha J., (8) Jacob and Peter L. Proposed children of Caleb and Mary: (9)

• Male, under 10 in 1810 or relative (census)

• Male, under 10 in 1810 or relative (census)

• Male, under 10 in 1820 or relative (census) [Jacob?]

• Reuben Winget (1806-1859), documented by presence in Michigan with Caleb B. and David.

• Female, 10-16 in 1810 or relative (census)

• Female, under 10 in 1820 or relative (census)

• Female, under 10 in 1820 or relative (census)

• Female, under 10 in 1820 or relative (census)

• Peter L. Winget, (10) possible son. Said to have been born in 1807, 1813 or 1817, son of Caleb and Mary Winget (undocumented).

• Jacob Winget and family were in Sodus in 1840. Jacob, born between 1810-1820, may be another son of Caleb.

• Aaron Winget (1818-1885)

• Caleb B. Winget (1821-1864)

• David Winget (1824- )

• Female, under 5 in 1830 or relative (census)

Wayne County, New York, 1885.

Sodus Township is in Wayne County, which was originally part of Ontario and Seneca Counties, becoming a separate county on April 11, 1823. (11) Some of Wayne County’s early arrivals were veterans of the Revolution who came to take up claims in the Military Tract. In 1824 Sodus was described as township in the northeast corner of Ontario County. (12) “The town of Sodus was formed in January of 1789. It comprises the northeast corner of the old ‘District of Sodus.’ The District of Sodus was made up of what are now the towns of Sodus, Lyons, Arcadia, Marion, Walworth, Ontario and Williamson. . . .” (13)

During the 1800s when Caleb and his family were living in western New York, a religious fervor swept across western New York. Shakers, Spiritualists, Mormons and others found a place to develop or propagate their beliefs. Genesee Country, originally nearly all of western New York, had more than its share of cults and true believers as wave after wave of religious revivals spread across the region during America’s Second Great Awakening, thus earning it the name, “The Burned Over District.” This part of New York became famous for its history of revivalism, radicalism, communitarian experiments. . . . (14)

After Caleb’s death in 1842, Mary, age sixty, moved to the town of Huron in Wayne County, New York about 12 miles east of Sodus across the Bay. She probably left Sodus Township to live with her son David. She was living with David in 1850, age 68, and could not read or write. She was involved in several land sales in Huron, New York from 1849 to 1858. (15) Whether this is property she purchased after Caleb’s death, or property Caleb owned at the time of his death is not known. In 1860 North Huron contained two churches, a saw and grist mill, and 40 houses. South Huron (Huron post office) had one church, a townhouse, and twenty houses. (16)

Mary, who was to live into her 90s, remained with her son David’s family. In 1860 she was in Genesee County, Michigan with David and his family. David moved to Michigan in 1854 and Mary probably came with him or soon after. She was still living with David, at age 85, in 1870.

Undocumented information states that Mary’s father was James Ferris, born circa 1763 in New Jersey and died on September 25, 1844 at age 81 years in Sodus Township, Wayne County, New York. James’ wife was Charity (maiden name unknown) who was born circa 1760 in New Jersey and died on September 12, 1847 at age 87 years. They were both buried in the South Sodus Cemetery: (17) James Ferris, born abt 1763, died 25 Sept. 1844 age 81y & Wife Charity born abt 1760 and died 12 Sept. 1847 age 87y. They could be the parents of Mary, or a relative. James and Charity were found in Ontario County, New York as early as 1817 and up to the 1840 census. James purchased land there in 1817 and 1835. (18) In the 1820 and 1830 censuses, James was enumerated on the same page as Caleb Winget. They were probably neighbors. By 1840 he was enumerated just after Caleb. James may have been living next door to his daughter when he was between 60 and 70 years old.

Reuben Winget

Reuben Winget was born on May 17, 1806 in New York and died on May 27, 1859 in Mundy Township, Genesee County, Michigan, age 53. (19) Reuben was buried in Odell Cemetery, Mundy Township, Genesee County. (20) Also buried there are a Sarah S. and John Winget (John may be Reuben’s son, Sarah S. Harrison’s wife). Reuben married Sarah Graves (21) circa 1833 in New York (first child born circa 1834). Sarah was born circa 1813 in New York. Sarah’s father was born in New York, her mother in Canada. (22) The only Graves in Sodus where presumably Reuben was living when he married Sarah Graves was a Stephen Graves enumerated on the page after Reuben’s father, Caleb in the 1830 census. This Stephen was again found in 1840 in Sodus. Stephen Graves was born circa between 1790 and 1800 (census), and could be the father of Sarah, a brother or relative of Sarah.

Their known children were Harrison, Mary Jane, Monroe, Sarah, Reuben, (23) George and John. In 1850 in Genesee County, Michigan we find Ruben Winget, age 44, with his wife Sarah, age 37, and their five children – Harrison (age 16, born New York), Mary (age 10) Monroe (age 8), Sarah (age 5) and Ruben (age 1). All except Harrison were born in Michigan and all the children old enough were in school. Ruben came to Michigan early, before his brother David. There is a land entry for Mundy Township of 40 acres for Reuben Winget of Wayne County, New York in 1837, (24) shortly after Michigan became a state, and we find him in Genesee County in the 1840 census. In 1840 there are two adult males in the household, perhaps his brother Caleb B. came to Michigan with Reuben. In the 1840 census there were two daughters under age 5. One was probably our Mary Jane, the other must have been a daughter who died before the 1850 census. In Ellis’ History of Genesee County, Reuben was listed on a list of voters for November 1840 and as a resident tax-payer in 1844. In 1850 Reuben was a farmer in Mundy Township with a farm valued at $1,000. The Wingets were active in their community. Reuben served as a Commissioner of Highways in 1848 and was a township Treasurer in 1853. (25) His brother David was a Justice of the Peace in 1860 and Caleb B. was a Commissioner of Highways in 1853. Reuben and Caleb were found in Genesee in 1854. (26)

In the 1860 census, Sarah, now listing herself as Sally, is a widow, with the surname Wright. Her husband had died only the year before, so it is unlikely that she had remarried so quickly and she was listed as head of household (no husband listed). She was listed again as Winget on the actual 1870 census page, though the census index lists her as Wright. Sally Ann was now 49 and managing the farm. Our Mary Jane was still living at home, now age 20. Harrison had left home, but Monroe (age 18), Sally Ann (age 15), Ruben (age 12) were still at home. There were two brothers born since 1850, George and John. The family consistently kept their children in school past eighth grade, Monroe, Sally Ann, Rubin and George were all in school. Although Harrison had left home, he may still have been helping his mother with the farm. She was again listed as Sally in 1870 with no husband listed. Daughter Sally Ann was still at home. Son Reuben was now 21 and helping his mother on the farm. George was still in school. Farming nearby was Sally’s son Harrison, who was married with three children. By 1880, Sally Ann listed herself as a widow, now age 67, living with her unmarried son George. Sally Ann stated her father was born in New York and her mother in Canada. Living nearby was Harrison and his family. Reuben had married and moved to Saginaw. This same year her son Monroe married a Priscilla Marsh.

The children of Reuben and Sarah:

• Harrison Winget was born circa 1834, the only child born in New York. In 1870 Harrison and his wife Sarah (born circa 1836) had a daughter and two sons and a farm valued at $1,300. Their daughter Marion was born circa 1856, son Franklin born circa 1867 and son William born circa 1869. In 1870 Harrison and Sarah’s three month old daughter, Sarah, died of an unknown cause. (27) By 1880 Harrison’s occupation was listed as a laborer and their son Jacob had been born circa 1876. Frank was 18 and still in school, William was 10 and classified as having a disability (idiot in the terms of the time) and Jacob was 4. There must have been other children born in the ten years between Marion’s 1856 and Franklin’s 1867 births. By the 1900 census Sarah S. Winget was a widow living in Fenton, Genesee County with her sons William and Jacob. Sarah reported her birth as February 1833, William was born in August 1869 and Jacob in November 1876. Harrison must have died before 1900. Sarah must have died between 1900 and 1910. In 1910 and 1920 Jacob and William were still living together in Fenton, Jacob must have been taking care of William.

• Mary Jane Winget, see the Feury family history for information on Mary Jane.

• Monroe J. Winget was born in February 1843 (or 1842) in Michigan. When he was 27 he married Priscilla Marsh, age 22, on September 20, 1870 in Genesee County, Michigan. (28) On Priscilla’s tombstone was inscribed “dau of Richard Morrish Sr.” Priscilla was born in April 1848 in England, immigrating in 1852, and died in 1944. In 1880, Monroe, now listed as James M., and Priscilla were living in the 3rd Ward in Flint, Michigan. Monroe was a carpenter and they had one daughter, Juliana, born June 1872 in Michigan. By 1900 Monroe was described as a house builder who owned his home without a mortgage, still living in Flint. There were no additional children listed. Living with them were their daughter Julia and her husband William Little/Lytle with no children. In the Winget plot where Monroe and Priscilla are buried are ‘like’ headstones for the Albert S. Little family. Julia married circa 1896 when she was 25 and they had no children. William Little was a traveling salesman. There is a death record for a Jas. Monroe Winget, died June 6, 1909. (29) By 1930 Priscilla was 81, a widow and living with her daughter and son-in-law. Monroe and his wife were buried in Glenwood Cemetery in Flint City, Michigan. (30)

• Sarah Winget was born circa 1845 in Michigan. By the 1860 census she is listed as Sally Ann, like her mother Sara Graves. She was still single and living at home in 1870.

• Reuben (Ruben, Rubin) Winget was born circa 1849 in Michigan. Reuben was still single, living with his mother and helping on the farm in 1870. Reuben Winget, age 22, married Mary F. Lurvey, age 17, on April 30, 1872 in Genesee County. (31) Mary’s parents were probably the John and Mary Lurvey who lived near Reuben and his mother in 1870 (census). Reuben and Mary moved to East Saginaw by 1880 where Reuben was working for an ice dealer (census). They had a daughter Iva, born circa 1873. Reuben and his family were in Saginaw at least to 1930. By 1900 Reuben was working for the railroad and he and Mary had a daughter Hortense, age 19. Mary reported that she had three children, only one living. In 1910 and 1920 Reuben was still working for the railroad. By 1930 only Mary and Hortense were listed in the household, Reuben probably died between 1920 and 1930. Hortense was still unmarried in 1930.

• George W. Winget was born circa 1852 in Michigan. In 1880 George was still single and the only son still at home with his mother in Fenton, helping on the farm. By 1900 George had married an Ida circa 1889 and owned a farm in New Haven Township, Gratiot County, Michigan. The 1910 census says that they both were married twice. Ida stated in 1930 that she was age 27 when first married, which would put the year of her first marriage at circa 1884. There were three children listed with George and Ida. Willina was born in 1885 and may have been the daughter of Ida. Their son George was born in 1890 (32) and Howard May 18, 1893. In the 1894 Michigan census, George and his family were listed in Gratiot County. Willena Lore, age 7 and born in Michigan, was listed with the family, indicating that Willina/Willena was a daughter of Ida’s first marriage. In the 1901 atlas, Ida Winget was listed as a landowner in New Haven Township. (33) By 1910 George and Ida owned a butcher shop in Ithaca, Michigan. Their sons George B. and Howard were still single and living at home. George B. was also a butcher and was a partner with his father in the butcher shop. (34) Their meat market was located in the block of that was built on the southeast corner of Center and Pine River streets in 1885. On October 19, 1911 the meat market of George W. Winget & Son, George W. and George B. Winget, caught fire at about 9’oclock in the evening and was badly damaged, especially the upper story occupied by a Louis Hunter. The building was located on Main Street just south of the Jeffrey block. There was enough insurance on the building and the stock and fixtures of the market to cover the loss. George W. had been in business there nearly thirty years. The Wingets also had a meat market in Pompeii, about seven miles north of Ithaca, on west Main Street, managed by a J. O. Kinney. Son Howard’s registration for the WWI draft stated that he was a meat cutter, employed by George Winget at Ithaca. (35) The 1917 directory listed George, Ida and Howard in Ithaca. (36) George and Ida stated they had three children, George was still operating a meat market, and son Howard was a butcher. In 1920 George W. was still operating a meat market and Howard was single, living at home. Son George B. had married a Veda and operated a bakery in Ithaca. There were no children listed in 1920 or 1930. By 1930 George must have inherited his father’s business, he was listed as a butcher at his own slaughter house in Ithaca. His mother Ida R. Winget was living by herself at age 73. Her home was valued at $2,500 and she owned a radio. George W. was named as the administrator of his sister our Mary Jane’s estate after she died in 1916.

• John Winget was born circa 1856 in Michigan (1860 census). He was not listed in the 1870 census and may have died young. There is a John Winget buried in Odell Cemetery where Reuben is buried.

Aaron Winget

Aaron Winget was born on May 6, 1818 and died on September 27, 1885. (37) He married a Lovina York who was born in 1818 and died in 1901. He was buried in York Settlement Cemetery along with his wife, daughter Achsah (1843-1918), son Benjamin (a Reverend, 1845-1921) and George W. (died May 6, 1863). Aaron also had a daughter, Lovilla, born in May 1848. He resided in Wayne County, New York all his life, first in Rose, then in Huron (1850-1880 censuses). In 1867 he was listed as living in Huron, a farmer with 72 acres. (38) The Winget family were Methodists and Aaron was a trustee of the church in 1867. (39) The Winget family was mentioned in the 1893 Rose Neighborhood Sketches. (40) A Gilbert Brown bought property from Aaron Winget; Henry Jewell married Sivilla Winget [sic Lovilla] and lived on his father-in-law’s place in Huron; and Benjamin Winget lived near four corners, known as York’s. In back of Benjamin’s was one of the “finest chestnut groves in the state. I have never seen a more beautiful collection of these stately trees anywhere.”

In the 1860 census, George W. Winget, age 15, was listed with Aaron. But he was not listed with Aaron in 1850. A George W. is listed in the York Settlement Cemetery with Aaron and family. Aaron was the only identified son who did not immigrate to Michigan. He was listed in the index to Professor W.H. McIntosh’s “History of Wayne County, New York,” printed in 1877 on page 173, but there is no biography.

Caleb B. Winget

Caleb B. Winget was born on July 6, 1821 in Ontario County, New York and died on July 3, 1864 in Genesee County, Michigan. He was married at age 24 to Margaret J. Terks (Yerkes?) on February 1, 1846 at Genesee County, Michigan. (41), (42) Margaret was 19, born on October 26, 1826 (other source has November 1827) in New York and died on February 19, 1871 in Genesee County, Michigan. (43) Both Caleb and Margaret were buried in Fairview Cemetery, Fenton Township (Linden), Genesee County. (44) There was a Jonathan Yerkes family in Mundy Township, Genesee County in 1840 where Caleb and Margaret were living in 1850. Caleb and Margaret’s children were probably Thomas, Alice, Mary and Wallace J., all born in Michigan. There were undoubtedly additional children. In the Winget burial plot at Fairview Cemetery is a tombstone labeled only M.B.D.

• Thomas was born in 1848 or February 1847. (45) The Genesee County death record for a Thomas Jefferson Winget who died on March 29, 1911 (46) is probably this Thomas. Thomas was a carpenter in 1870 with a personal estate valued at $300 and living with his mother Margaret in Fenton Township. Thomas was married and living in Fenton in 1880 with his wife Lydia A. Lydia was Lydia A. Martin, born 1851 and died April 2, 1925. They had three children: Mahlon (age 5), Ida (age 3) and Adeline (age 2), all born in Michigan. In 1900 Thomas was in Mundy Township with his wife Lydia (born April 1851 in Michigan). Lydia reported that they had four children, but only two were living at home in 1900, Mahlon H. (age 25 and single) and Luella (age 17). They had a hired farm laborer living with them. The Genesee County death record for Lyddie A., who died on April 20, 1925, is probably Thomas’ wife. Thomas Jefferson and his wife Lydia A. were buried in Fairview Cemetery, as was their son Mahlon H. In the plot where Mahlon H. was buried are also a Jessie J., born in 1883 and died on January 16, 1948 and a Ralph Edwin born in 1924 and died on April 16, 1924. These are probably Mahlon’s wife and son.

• Alice was born circa 1848. This is probably Alice: Alice A. Winget, age 17, married James L. Smith, age 22, on July 4, 1865 in Genesee County, Michigan. (47) Alice and James were found in Fenton Township in 1870, as was Alice’s mother, Margaret, apparently living nearby. James Smith was a farmer with his farm valued at $800. By then they had two children, Lewis A. and Nellie. Living with them was James’ sister [sister-in-law?] Rosamond and her children Adline A. and Hubert M. Rosamond had real estate valued at $2,000. They were living on the farm of Levi Smith, a retired farmer, possibly James and Rosamond’s father.

• Mary A., born 1850 (age 4 months when enumerated in 1850).

• Wallace J. was born October 5, 1851 and died on December 13, 1878 at age 27. Wallace was in the 1870 census with Margaret, but he was not found ten years earlier with the family. He may be a relative. He was buried in Fairview Cemetery in the plot with Caleb and Margaret.

Caleb and Margaret lived in Mundy Township, as did Caleb’s brothers Reuben and David, although by 1860 they had moved to Fenton Township, a short distance south of Mundy. Caleb was a cooper (made casks or barrels) and a farmer. In 1850 he had property valued at $250, by 1860 it was valued at $800. Their children were attending school up to age 19, there must have been a high school in the area. After Caleb died, Margaret did not re-marry. She remained in Fenton Township until her death in 1871. Just before she died the value of their farm was now $1,700 and Thomas and a Wallace J. Winget (born circa 1852) were single, living at home and probably managing the farm.

Caleb served during the Civil War. His tombstone reads Co. G, 8th Mich Inf. There are two entries that both seem to be Caleb. The first is a Company K, 10th Michigan Infantry record for a C. B. Winget, age 40, from Genesee County. C. B. enlisted as a private on December 9, 1861 at age 40, enlisted in Company K, 10th Infantry on February 6, 1862, discharged on November 15, 1862. He was listed as achieving distinguished service with the 10th. An additional record has C. B. Winget, Fenton, Co. K; discharged for disability, private 10th Infantry. (48) Caleb was living in Fenton Township in 1860. The second is a record for a Caleb B. Winget, a private in Company G, 8th Michigan Infantry, age 43, from Genesee. Another source has a Caleb B. Wright, 8th Infantry, died at Washington, DC of wounds on July 5, 1864. (49) The pension record for the Caleb Winget in the 8th listed his widow as Margaret J. Winget. The date on the record appears to be August 19 or 29, 1864. Caleb probably first enlisted in the 10th Infantry, then transferred to the 8th Infantry and may have died while serving in the Army.

David Winget

David Winget was born on April 3, 1824 and probably died on December 23, 1905 (50) (he was found in 1900 census). David married a Lucy Abbot. She may be the Lucy Ann Winget who died on September 12, 1894 in Genesee County. (51) David was listed as a widower in the 1900 census. David and Lucy were buried at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Mundy Township, Genesee County, Michigan. (52) Their children Hattie, Maxwell (died January 11, 1881) and Sarah are also buried there. Also buried there are an Alma Winget (probably Elma) and a John Winget. David and Lucy had nine children, all but two of whom died before they reached age 30 (by 1881).

David’s published biography (53) gives a great deal of information and confirms the names of his parents, and by association, his siblings. The biography and an engraving of his farm are reprinted here.

“David Winget lives on a good farm on section 16, Flint Township, Genesee County. He was born in Phelps, Ontario County, N. Y., April 3, 1824, and when six years of age was taken by his parents, Caleb and Mary (Farris) Winget to their new home in Wayne County, N. Y. They settled in Sodus Township, where our subject was reared and educated, remaining there until he was twenty-four or twenty-five years of age. He was early trained in the economic principles of agricultural life, although while living in Sodus he worked at coopering for about three years; aside from that he has always been engaged in farming and in breeding stock.

“After leaving Sodus, our subject settled in Huron, Wayne County, N. Y., and lived there until the spring of 1854, when he came to Genesee County and settled in the township of Mundy. There he purchased a farm upon which he resided until the spring of 1883, when he sold out his place and bought where he now lives in Flint Township. Mr. Winget has been an important factor in clearing up and improving the land in Mundy Township, and has made valuable changes, individual and in company with others. He has a first-class series of buildings on is farm, which comprises one hundred and sixty-three acres, and each department of the place is thoroughly developed. He has fine orchards and his stock is of the best grade.

“Our subject was married in Wayne County, N. Y., February 15, 1843, to Miss Lucy Abbott, who was born in Galen, of the same locality, June 13, 1824. Her parents were John and Jerusha (Babbitt) Abbott, who died in the place where the daughter was born. Our subject’s father passed away in Sodus, N. Y.; his mother died in Mundy Township. Mr. and Mrs. Winget are the parents of nine children, whose names are Elma, Sarah, Almira, Henry, Catherine, Frances, Jerusha, Maxwell D. and Hattie. Elma, Sarah and Almira died at the ages respectively of fifteen, seventeen and twenty-eight years. Almira was the wife of Albert Ives; Henry and Catherine died in infancy; Frances is the wife of Ira F. Wright; Jerusha is the wife of Everette Meeker; Hattie passed away when eighteen years of age; and Maxwell D. was killed by the bursting of a balance wheel, while cutting corn stalks.

“Mr. Winget has served as Justice of the Peace in Mundy Township for two terms, and has also been conspicuous in school matters. He is a strong Republican politically, and takes an active part in all local affairs.
