PREFACE
Before beginning the actual genealogy
of the William and Sarah
(Strange) WINNETT family, it is important to build a background from Which to start. Some of this background
is based on court and census
Records, some on notes which their grand daughter, my grandmother Margaret (WINNETT) RIGG left in an old
chest, some on equally valid
information supplied by proven descendants, some on tradition and some on deduction on my part. Sources
are given as the reader
will know in which category the
information lies Needless to say
there will be errors even the every effort has been made to guard against that possibility.
No effort has been made to trace
William WINNETT back to his
home in England All branches of the family agree with Grandma that he came from Liverpool, England.
Grandma said he had lived
there with a wealthy uncle who begged him to remain with him and promised to leave him his worldly goods
if he did. However, at about
15 years of age. William could resist the urge of adventure no longer and came to America No date is
known, but there is a "chest"
which he treasured enough to mention in his will and is still with the family possession, so he
must have brought it from
England
Naturally tradition slopped in with
various accounts of his coming
to America One was that as a tiny lad he was bribed with candy - penknife Another,
when a bit older, he was bribed to come, then was bound out to service until he
became of age The version I
grew up with has a few extra flourishes. Two Winnett brothers were kidnapped in Liverpool As they
neared America the ship was
attacked by pirates and both boys jumped overboard William swam to shore, the other was never heard of
again It was with this in mind
that, thinking of where he could have landed. I asked the librarian in the Pennsylvania Room of Carnegie
Library. Pittsburg. Pennsylvania, if they had any records of Wilmington.
Delaware. I was amazed when I
found the marriage of William WINNETT and Sarah STRANGE listed in the records of Holy Trinity (Okl Swedes)
Lutheran Church. To further
boost my version. Series 2, Volume. 13, page 245 of the Pennsylvania Archives, edited by Dr. Egle, Michael V.
WINNETT was listed as a
soldier. Dr. Egles's work is never questioned. I wondered for awhile if Michael could have been the missing
brother, but decided that he
probably was a figment of Aunt Ella's imagination since she loved sad ending to all of her stories. It is
no fiction that Michael V. WINNETT did exist or he would not have been in
the Archives. The French did
fight with us in the Revolutionary War, WINNETT is a French name
even the William came from England,
so Michael may have been a
Frenchman here for he war. He has not appeared in any other records I have found. At the march
meeting of the 1963 meeting of
the Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania, I was accepted as a descendant of William WINNETT, a Huguenot. Anyone
wishing to follow their own line
back to William WINNETT can do so in the following pages. Grandma left a story of her grandfather's
service in the Revolutionary
War, but no official records have
been found to substantiate it.
According to Grandma, he fought at
the Battle of Brandywine and was
among the 400 prisoners taken by the British. When brought before the English General, William was
recognized as the nephew of a good friend in England. He was given his
freedom, but was told his uncle
was a very rich man and would like him to return to England. It is not surprising that no record of his
service has been found. Few records were made of the personnel of the Battle
of Brandywine, and of those
that were made, many were destroyed when the British burned Washington in the War of 1812.
For the background of Sarah STRANGE,
wife of William WINNETT, we
must go to the early days of Philadelphia. Just imagine! What today is the fourth largest city in the
United States was in 1727, a
village four blocks in depth and it extended not more than a mile along the Delaware River. Within that
tract, on Second Street between
Arch and Market. Christ Church was built in 1695. George Washington, Robert Morris and Benjamin Franklin
worshiped there. Name plates
designate these pews. Seven signers of the Declaration of Independence were buried in the churchyard.
As the village grew, so did the
church and by 1727 the west
wing was added. Near the end of that year. November 2, 1727, Jonathan STRANGE, a clothier, brought his
sweetheart Susannah THOMAS to be
wed (page 32). In 1744 the church was again enlarged to cover the entire block and in 1824 the interior was
changed, but it stands, the oldest church in PENNSYLVANIA in CONTINUOUS use.
And to think that our early
ancestors were married there.
According to the tax lists as
recorded in the Historical Society in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jonathan
STRANGE lived in London-Britain
Township in 1729 and in Darby in 1730, page 32. He then disappeared from the Pennsylvania records. John
THOMAS. Susannah"s father, was
taxed in Darby or Upper Darby from 1715 until 1726. His will (page 90) was probated May 31,1727. There were many
John Thomases in Christ
Church, but none were in the burial lists of 1727 so evidently he was
not one of the members. Also
Chester County tax lists had many John Thomases. The years rolled along and we find that
Jonathan and Susannah STRANGE
moved south into Christiana Hundred, New Castle County. Delaware In Delaware they use the name
"Hundred" instead of our more
familiar term township" Other changes also took place with the advent of seven daughters, no sons (page 90). My
time was too limited to look
for grantee deeds, but by August 15. 1737 Jonathan sold property in Wilmington, so I assume he went to
Delaware soon after his taxes were paid in 1732 in Pennsylvania. That means that
some of the daughters were born
in Delaware, and as Sarah was named last in all the records, it is safe
to say she was born in
Delaware. After Jonathan STRANGE'S death, settlement deeds (page 84) gave the names of all of
the daughters and their husbands
except Sarah, she married later. It is well to note STRANGE was also spelled STRANGE in the same deeds, which
my denote Scottish ancestry.
There is also LeSTRANGE from France, but I did not find that spelling in our papers.
Jonathan STRANGE married Susannah
THOMAS November 2. 1727, both
from Darby Township. Chester County. Pennsylvania He died Jury 1758 Susannah died between 1764 and 1770
as she signed the settlement
deeds in 1764 but not in 1770.
Catherine married Jozehad LODGE, a
weaver, deed written 1762 Mary
named John BACKHOUSE deed

Adam DUNLAP
deed 1764 Frances married
October 15. 1763
Joseph LOBB clothier, Old Swedes
Church Sarah married William
WINNETT Jury 27
1773, Old Swedes Church. I was
interested in following the
families through to some extent
so looked for the 1790 census for Delaware. It had been destroyed by fire However, the Historical Society
had a census reconstructed
based on the tax lists of 1790. The names which seemed most likely to be related to the STRANGE girls were:
LODGE, Samuel Sr., Christiana
Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware LOGE, Samuel Jr. BACKHOUSE. Strange BACKHOUSE. Jacob
Brandywine GOLDE, Strange Christiana DUNLAP. John LOBB. Joseph
The will of Jesse KIRK (page 93) was
found in the Chester County
records in the Historical Society in Philadelphia I am interested only
in the WINNETT family and by
1790 William and Sarah WINNETT were in Washington County, Pennsylvania where he
was listed as WHINNETT Old
Swedes Church in Wilmington. Delaware is unique in that it is the OLDEST church in the UNITED STATES in
CONTINUOUS service It is very
Picturesque from any view, but the one usually shown is the entrance through an archway, the ground floor for
the plantation owners a stairway
to the balcony where the slaves sat There is a large Cemetery
surrounding the building
Inside, the lectern is to the right, the pulpit to the left, a beautiful stained glass window in the center front
with a table below the window
On this table is an altar cloth embroidered by the King of Sweden and presented to the church The pews still
have doors, each pew has a
reading board for hymnals and prayer books The official title was Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Lutheran Church
Episcopalians now own it, worship there and keep it and the Hostess House
in excellent condition
The Sunday we worshiped there we,
being Methodists, became confused with the ritual The lady behind us kept
telling us where to turn through out that part of the service. Later I turned
to thank her and learned she is the niece of Mother's closest friend in
Wilkinsburg Of course both Mother and her friend are gone.
There is no STRANGE and no WINNETT in
the carefully kept list of
members, yet two of the daughters were married there I did not find them again until they appeared in the tax
list of 1781 in Bethel Township.
Chester County (now Delaware County) Pennsylvania Taxes as
given in the Pennsylvania
Archives Series 3. Volume 12. pages 441 and 562, 60 A, a cow and a horse.
In 1781 a part of Westmoreland County
was portioned off and made
into a separate county, Washington. From the beginning the boundary line had not been too clearly defined,
with Virginia claiming the southwest portion of what is now western
Pennsylvania, calling it Augusta County. Virginia The Pennsylvania grant claimed
the same territory Each sold
plots of ground to the settlers, sometimes the same ground Each
established a courthouse
within a short distance of the other Even tho the Mason Dixon Line had been established between 1763
and
1767, it was not until the close
of the Revolution that it was actually honored The territory was all
wilderness, but people were
moving in, probably because families along the seaboard were being urged to go west to claim the
land and keep the French from
gaining control of the Ohio Valley Until flooring could be laid, the
settlers had to sleep in
hammocks or bunks built up from the ground as snakes would come in for the night and coil on
the earthen floor.
When William and Sarah WINNETT came
to Washington County, some
time between 1785 and 1790, conditions were very privative. Coming into forest country, space had first to be
cleared, logs hewn, sidings and roof built, all this in hostile territory with
Indians and wild beasts forever on the prowl. Even tho now we have much sympathy
for the Indians, at that time
they were savages and often attacked without cause or warning. To be
sure,
there were some peaceful tribes who
befriended the settlers, but for the most part, (hey were a wild and unpredictable
people, angry that others should
encroach upon their free hunting ground. One thing must be said in their defense. During the French and Indian War
the French stirred them up
against the English, and during the Revolution War the British troops
used them to harass the
settlers west of the Allegheny Mountains.
One story that has come down through
the years in our family is both
funny and descriptive of the times. Adah WINNETT, son of Jonathan and Mary WINNETT. born 1806, had a successful
day hunting pheasants. As he
caught them he fastened them to his belt. On the way home he sat down on a log to rest a bit. All at once he
sensed danger, looking up he saw and Indian back of him raise his tomahawk. He
ran and as the Indian would gain
on him, he would drop a pheasant. The
Indian would stoop to pick up the bird and in that way Uncle Adah reach
home. Adah was pronounced A-Day.
I have found no records that would give me the actual birth dates for either William or Sarah STRANGE WINNETT,
so will use the rule given in
the "How Book", page 57. published by the Everton Publishers, Logan,
Utah. The father's age is
usually 26 and the mother's age 22 at the birth of their first child. It is. of course, but and
indefinite guess, but does serve when dates are not known.
