(Descendant in 5th generation from Stephen Wing, one of the founders of Sandwich, in 1637.)
Giles Wing, son of Matthew and Elizabeth (Sisson) Wing, was born in S. Dartmouth, Mass., and went with his father about the year 1775 to Danby, Rutland Co., Vermont, although it is probable that Giles was married at this time and may have lived in Batemantown, Duchess Co., N.Y., a few years before the migration of the family to Danby. Giles married Mary Cornell, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Cornell. (Some of his descendants have the name as CORNWELL). By this first marriage he had John, Samuel, Joseph, Giles, Matthew, Catherine and Elizabeth. By a second wife, Beaulah Button, Giles had Abigail, Hyrum, Orange, Margaret and Delorum. It is also said that he had a third wife, Phoebe Dunham.
Giles Wing was a selectman of Danby for two years, 1785-5. One of his grandsons made the following report:
"My grandfather seems to have been a very strong man and was seldom "outlifted" at logging bees. He lived to be 103 years of age, and, at that advanced age, took great delight in breaking the hand-spikes left over after a logging bee, as it seems was the custom in these times."
In the "History of Danby" it is said the Giles Wing married four times, that he settled first as Mt. Tabor and then at Danby, and lived there several years; that he died in St. Lawrence Co., N.Y. (Did he inherit the property deeded to his grandfather from Samuel Cornell's estate?)
The statements in this report come from several different sources, giving some apparent discrepancies. Dr. Joseph Smith Wing wrote to the Wing Society that his grandfather was married but twice, so far as he ever heard, and that his second wife was referred to as "Granny Buly", evidently a contraction for Beaulah.
