Note: Notes for Barnabas Wing: Wing Fam., by C.P. Wing, 1881, pg 189 & 250: Page 189: "347. BARNABAS belonged to a family in Brewster; probably to that of one of the sons of Barnabas (87), but to which of them cannot now be ascertained. His father is said to have been born and lived on Cape Cod, and to have had besides him one brother, Obadiah, and one sister, whose name is not given. He was born April 10, 1765, and died Jan. 20, 1825. He married and removed to Winthrop, Kennebec county, Maine, where all his children were born. The names of these children were Joshua, Joel, Noah (born in 1795), Isaac Dexter, Barnabas, Melissa, Sally, Asenath and Joanna." Page 250: "573. BARNABAS, a son of Barnabas * Wing (347) married resided in Winthrop, Kennebec county, Maine, and had five sons viz: Joshua, born June 30, 1792; Noah born in 1795; Joel; Barnabas, and Isaac D; and four daughters, viz: Melissa, Asenath, Sarah and Joanna. End note bottom of page 250: *Since the account of Barnabas on page 189 was printed we have received some additional notices of the family. From these it seems probable that he belonged to the next preceding generation, and that his sons should, therefore, be reckoned in the seventh and his grand-sons in the eighth generations. Accordingly, an account of the only children of Barnabas known to us is made immediately to follow the notice of him in this place. The date of his father's birth, recorded according to Old Style, was April 10, 1764 (old Style); and of his death, Sept. 5, 1825. His grandfather's name is said to be Stephen, who had besides Barnabas, five sons and three daughters, viz: 1. Nathan (or Nathanael); 2. Jesse, who lived to be 87 years of age and had four sons, the names of three of whom were Jesse, Seth and Jochebed; and four daughters, named Lucy, Sarah, Olive and Isabel; 3. Noah, who had three sons, named Stephen, Ezekiel and Bradford; 4. Judah; 5. Lemuel; 6. Keziah, who married Dea. Isaac Dexter, and had at least sevens sons, viz: Constant, Stephen Nathanael, Freeman, Gideon, Isaac and Amaziah; 7. Olive, who married Enoch Swift, and had two sons, Elnathan and Nathanael; and seven daughters, viz: Betsey, Polly, Esther, Susan, Mercy, Olive and Thankful; 8. Polly, who married Richard Handy, and had at least four sons, viz: Abisha, Ebenezer, Jesse and Richard. Hist. of Winthrop, by Stackpole has his ancestry wrong: Pg 677: The decent is through John and Elizabeth, Ananias and Hannah ( Wood), John and Mary (Knowles), Barnabas and Hannah (Berry) to Barnabas Wing born 10 April 1764 probably at Yarmouth, Mass. He came to Winthrop shortly before the eighteenth century and settled on the road leading from East Monmouth road over Pisgah. His name appears on the tax list of 1799. Wife's name was Mehitable. Winthrop records say his wife was Mary L. Perhaps twice married.
