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, Dutchess Co., New York, 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 was a selectman of Danby for two years, 1784-5. One of his grandson’s 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 that Giles Wing married four times, that he settled first at Mt. Tabor and then in Danby, and lived there several years; that he died in St. Lawrence Co., New York.
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.
The children of Giles Wing, the first 7 by his first wife and the other 5 by his second wife were:
1. John born July 8, 1777 2. Samuel 3. Joseph born February 28, 1782 4. Giles Jr. 5. Matthew 6. Catherine 7. Elizabeth 8. Abigail 9. Hyrum 10. Orange 11. Margaret
12. Delorum
Giles blev gift med Mary Jane Cornell den 25 mar. 1775 i Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, USA. Mary (datter af Daniel Cornell og Elizabeth Allen) blev født den 16 jan. 1755 i Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, USA; døde den 6 apr. 1790 i Newburgh, Pike, Illinois, United States.
