1. Nathaniel Wing was the only child of Stephen Wing and Oseth Dillingham to survive to adulthood. Because of Nathaniel, Oseth Dillingham's blood line would flourish through many descendants. Nathaniel, born before March 2, 1646/47, at Sandwich, Massachusetts, his birth betrayed the fact that Stephen Wing and Oseth Dillingham had recklessly enjoyed each other before marriage. Speaking for myself, it seems to make Stephen and Oseth more human. Nathaniel married Sarah Hatch. Nathaniel moved to Falmouth, Plymouth Co., MA, about sixteen miles from Sandwich (as the crow flies)

If George Barlow (Beulah Wing & Moses Barlow, Hannah Wing and Moses Barlow, daughters of Daniel Wing and Hannah Swift) was our family tree villain then it is apt to say that Jonathan Hatch, Sarah Hatch Wing's father, was our hero. He was our Daniel Boone, John Wayne and James Dean all wrapped up in one man. There is so much to share about Jonathan Hatch and his family that it remains a work in progress.

2. Ephraim Wing, born April 2, 1649 at the Wing Fort House in Sandwich, Massachusetts. (From the Sandwich Register of Births). Ephraim was buried December 10, 1649 according to the Sandwich Register of Marriages and Burials.

3. Mercy Wing, born November 13, 1650 at the Wing Fort House in Sandwich, Massachusetts. (From the Sandwich Register of Births, 1650). There is no further record of Mercy, therefore it is believed that she died in infancy.

4. Deborah Wing, born about 1653 at the Wing Fort House in Sandwich, Massachusetts. (not proven)

5. Stephen Wing, the oldest child of Stephen Wing and Sarah Briggs, born September 2, 1656. Of Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA...died in the King Philip War. Stephen Wing was born September 2, 1656 in Sandwich, Plymouth Colony to Stephen Wing and Sarah Briggs. Stephen was certainly born in the Old Fort House...the homestead of Stephen Wing and his family.
Stephen, the oldest child born to this union, would be the first Wing to lose his life in this country, in a battle that was described fierce and horrible...The King Phillips War of 1675. Stephen would go to his death unmarried and without issue. It seems natural to assume that his death is what caused his brother Nathaniel Wing to enlist in the war himself, joining Captain John Gorham's company (the same company Ananias Wing joined). We shall leave Stephen here, the young man who died prematurely in a war that he probably thought was so right...but like most wars, it only served to offer up our youngest and finest and it really didn't solve anything. Nonetheless, Stephen, we honor you here, for your sacrifice and for your belief that you were fighting to protect those you loved.

6. Sarah Wing, born February 5, 1657/58 at Sandwich, Massachusetts. Sarah Wing married Robert Gifford;Lived and died at Dartmouth, Bristol Co., Massachusetts, about twenty-eight miles from Sandwich (as the crow flies)

7. John Wing, born September 25, 1661 at Sandwich. John Wing was married three times; (1) Mary Perry, (2) Mary Banister, (3) Mary Mowry Coggeshall. Of Dartmouth, Bristol Co., MA, about twenty-eight miles from Sandwich (as the crow flies)

8. Abigail Wing, born May 1, 1664 at Sandwich, Massachusetts. Not much is known about Abigail. She never married and it is believed that she kept house for her father after her mother, Sarah Briggs died in 1689. Abigail is mentioned in her father's will of September 2, 1700, where he left her twenty shillings. There is no known record of Abigail Wing's death.

9. Elisha Wing, born December 2, 1668. Elisha married Mehitable Butler. Of Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA, seventeen miles from Sandwich (as the crow flies)

10. Ebenezer Wing, born November 5, 1671, Ebenezer married Elizabeth Backus on February 23, 1698/99 at Sandwich. Of Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, died at the Wing Fort House

11. Matthew Wing, born January 1, 1673/74, born twenty-seven years after his oldest half-brother, Nathaniel Wing. Matthew married Elizabeth Mott Ricketson on September 4, 1696.

It has long been considered a matter of fact that Stephen Wing and Sarah Briggs had two sons after their son, Matthew Wing, was born. The problem was that nothing could be found out about either Joseph Wing or Benjamin Wing, supposed sons of Stephen Wing and Sarah Briggs. Raymond Wing, a prominent researcher of the Wing Family, proposes that Joseph and Benjamin Wing were not the sons of Stephen and Sarah Briggs Wing;

THE IDENTITY OF JOSEPH & BENJAMIN WING
By Raymond T. Wing
New evidence indicating that Joseph & Benjamin Wing, reputed sons of Stephen Wing & Sarah Briggs Wing, never existed. This evidence, presented by Raymond Wing, convincingly supports the theory that Joseph & Benjamin were actually the sons of Matthew Wing & Elizabeth Mott Ricketson.
