Go to the grandchildren lines for family information.  We still need male descendants from Allen, Fielding and Williamson to fill in the grandsons of old Thomas, son of John d 1755.

GRANDCHILDREN of Thomas Wingo, son of John (d 1755)

Thomas, Jr. b 9/18/1742 d 6/17/1765 (son of Thomas b bef 1717 d 10/27/1788, son of old John d 1755 in Amelia County, VA) had three sons. They were William # 134881, Obediah # 149077 and # 141444 with Oney Seay; # 143750 with Obedience Ligon and Thomas # 091243. The first two moved to Spartanburg County, SC. Thomas remained in or returned to Virginia.

A descendant of Stephen Obediah Wingo # 157757 (of Gwinnett, Troup and Coweta Counties, GA) is probably from an Obediah line.

John Washington Wingo, Sr. b abt 1839 d bef 11/1821 (son of Thomas, Sr. b bef 1717 d 10/27/1788, son of old John d 1755 Amelia County, VA) had five sons with Sarah Rucker. Joshua served in the Revolution and no later record exists (so far), Churchwell # 157756 and one of his two sons died young in VA but his son Joshua moved to the Mississippi Territory (Madison County, AL) and three sons: John Washington, Jr. # 211842; Abner # 157756 and Zachariah # 198978 moved to Spartanburg County, SC before 1800.

John Washington Wingo, Sr. also had sons Fielding and Allen with Monet Unknown and a son Williamson with Martha Bradshaw.


GRANDCHILDREN of James and William Wingo, sons of old John d 1755

The only match from descendants of these two sons of old John is a descendant of John # 160940 and Sally Warren Wingo. This line probably comes from James.

The Wingo Surname

The Wingo Surname has been used in America since at least the late 1600's. Since the US Census has only shown relationships within households in recent years, and even then the information may have come from a neighbour, we do not in many cases know who was brought up in a household and acquired the Wingo surname. Disease, Indian attacks, wars, accidents and desertions left children without parents. Couples might raise their brother, sister, cousin, or neighbours child as their own. Remember that in the past couples had to rely more on their children for farm labor and for support in their old age than today.

Therefore, please do not let the possibility that your DNA may not match your anticipated family line deter you from joining. We need all the members we can get, especially from those families where documentation is scarce or non-existent.
