Wing, Elihu (b. 31 AUG 1741, d. ABT 1785)

Note: Elihu was killed in the prime of life while assisting in the "raising" of a mill at Quaker Hill by the falling of a heavy timber, his only son, Abraham, being then about eleven years old.[CI:1672:?4:CI]

My grandmother has told me so much of her father-in-law's (Elihu Wing) strength and agility. He was noted for it, and so were his sisters, who were large women. He was not large, but stocky and musular and very quick and because of his reputation as an athelete he was placed in a dangerous position to hold a heavy timber -- three men
having hold of one end, and he alone holding the other. They lost control of it and it flew up and broke his neck.

He was a Justice of the Peace

Wing, Jedediah (b. 29 JAN 1696, d. ABT 1763)

Note: Jedediah appears to have purchased a homestead adjoining that of his father in Wareham.[CI:1515:?4:CI]

It was about this time that there was a movement among the Quakers of Dartmouth toward The Oblong on the New York and Connecticut line.Jedediah was among the first to embrace the idea, indicating that he was a man of enterprise. July 2, 1742, he sold his lands in Rochester and Wareham to his brother Butler. The deed, on record at Plymouth, recites that the lands "adjoin the homestead of our honored father
Elisha Wing." About the same time, Jedediah sold other lands in Wareham to his father. At this time, Jedediah was a man of the mature age of 45 years, with a family consisting of a wife and four children, Abigail, Matthew, Mehitable and Elihu. In the same year that he sold in Wareham, he purchased lands at Wuaker Hill adjoining those of Abraham Wing. He was a member of the Friends' Society and was among
the very first to establish the Friends' Meeting at Quaker Hill and to assist the building of the first meting house there. He settled upon a tract of land about two miles distant from the meeting house, which was not built until 1744. We are fortunate in coming into the possession of a map made by Robert Erskins in 1668-80, of Quaker Hill
for military purposes. Washington's headquarters in September, October and November,. 1778, was located about two miles distant from the homestead of Jedediah Wing, which was probably at that time occupied by one of his sons. We reproduce upon page 1520 a copy of this map, and have indicated upon it the location of Jedediah's farm.[CI:1516:?4:CI]

Beyond question, however, both he and his wife Elizabeth are buried in the Friends' burial grounds at the summit of the Hill, where the Wing Reunionists of 1914 erected the tablet to his daughter, Mehitable Wing Prendergast.[CI:1517:?4:CI]
