1. Hannah Wing, born July 28,
1643, the first Wing to be born in New England, making
Rev. John Wing and Deborah Bachiler grandparents for the
first time. Of Barnstable, Barnstable Co, MA....eleven
miles away from her hometown of Sandwich. Hannah
Wing married Jedediah Lombard. 2. Lydia Wing, born May 23,
1647. Lydia would marry twice; (1) Thomas Hamilton, (2)
John Abbot. Born at Sandwich, moved to Newport, Rhode
Island, forty-seven miles away from Sandwich. Returned to
Sandwich after the death of her husband.
3.
Deborah Wing, born October 9, 1648, died about 1659
4. Samuel Batchelder Wing, born
August 28, 1652, Samuel married Mary Dillingham. Samuel
was born at Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA
Although
Samuel is credited with a middle name, according to
Raymond Wing, this is probably in error. Raymond
writes; "While many sources state that Samuel, son
of Daniel Wing had the middle name Batchelder, this is in
error. No contemporary record exists of Samuel having a
middle name and middle names did not come into vogue
until around the Revolutionary War. It is believed this
error came from a mis-reading of Daniel's will which
mentions sons Samuel Bachelder John and Daniel. At the
time the will was made (1698) commas were not commonly
used.
5.
Hepiziah Wing, born November 7, 1654, presumed to have
died in infancy.
6. John Wing, born November 14,
1656, born at Sandwich, moved to Rochester, Plymouth Co.,
MA...seventeen miles from Sandwich. John married Martha
Spooner.
Martha Spooner was the daughter of William Spooner and Hannah Pratt, daughter of Joshua Pratt
and Bathsheba Unknown. In fact, John Wing's younger,
half-sister, Experience Wing would marry Martha Spooner's
brother, Samuel Spooner (see their history farther
down).
Ebenezer Spooner and his wife, Mercy
Branch Spooner would have a son named John Spooner. John
married Elizabeth Wells and their son Joshua Spooner
would marry Bathsheba Ruggles, daughter of
the quite famous, Brigadier General Timothy Ruggles and
his wife, Bathsheba Bourne Newcomb. Bathsheba would, with
accomplices, murder Joshua Spooner on the night of March
1, 1778 at Brookfield, Massachusetts. Bathsheba Ruggles
Spooner was pregnant when they executed her on July 2,
1778.
Another noteworthy item worth
mentioning comes from the History of Acushnet,
Massachusetts, written by Franklyn Howland;
The record of Spooners of Acushnet in the military
service of the Revolutionary War is a
remarkable one. The writer believes that more persons of
one surname were in the war for our independence of
British sovereignty who were natives of the little town
of Acushnet than served therein from any other one town
in the country. That name was Spooner. A spirit of
patriotism, loyalty and courage was predominant in that
generation of the Spooners of this town. These soldiers
were all descendants of John Spooner, who was among the
earliest land owners and inhabitants here.
7. Beulah Wing, born November 16,
1658, at Sandwich, moved to Rochester, Plymouth Co.,
MA...seventeen miles from Sandwich. Beulah Wing married
Aaron Barlow.
Apparently the fact that George Barlow was the perfect
villain in the small village of Sandwich, Massachusetts,
it did not hinder the popularity of his sons', especially
among the Wing women. Beulah Wing married Aaron Barlow,
whose brother, Moses, married Hannah Wing, daughter of
John Wing and Unknown, granddaughter of John Wing and
Unknown (Elizabeth Dillingham). Besides already being
cousins, the marriage between Beulah Wing and Aaron
Barlow would make Beulah and her cousin Hannah Wing,
sister-inlaws.

1660, at Sandwich, moved to Newport, Rhode Island,
forty-seven miles away from Sandwich, may have died in
Pennsylvania. Deborah married William Dungan.

28, 1663/64, at Sandwich, Massachusetts, he was
only a few days old when his mother, Hannah Swift Wing
died. Daniel married Deborah Dillingham
10. Experience Wing, born August
4, 1668., at Sandwich, moved to Dartmouth, Bristol Co.,

Dorothy Butler, the widow of his nephew, Joseph Wing. |
