- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. The following is a partial transcript concerning Jacob Winner from the "The Ancestry & Descendants of James Winner of Sussex Co., N.J. & Lycoming Co., Pa.," first edition; Editor: Ernestine Siegel, 1906 Watrous Avenue, Tampa, Florida, 33606; 1969; revised 1970; privately printed with copy in my possession, Preface, pp. 1-15, and Bibliography. (See notes of the earliest "generic" Winner for the full transcript.):
"Jacob WINNER of MIDDLETOWN and SOUTHHAMPTON.
Jacob Winner was married at St. Mary's Church, Burlington Co., N.J. on Sept. 29, 1774. In 1775 he is listed as a non-associator of Middletown Twp., Bucks Co. Pa. He died in 1778 in Southampton, Bucks Co., Pa., his widow Elizabeth (Hellingh) surviving him. (Bucks Co. File 1563). His occupation was that of a weaver. Dirck Hogeland of Southhampton and Amos Lubers of Northhampton were fellow bondsmen. William Mannington was witness, inventory by Phineas Paxton and Joseph Van Pelt.
2. I found the following additional quotes from several publications that add further information on the southern New Jersey Winners:
A. FHL book 974.961 V2c "Burlington County Marriages," by H Stanley Craig (1932, rep. 2003), pp. 95, 233, 248:
-Jacob Winner - Elizabeth Hellings, 9-24-1774. [See next note below for variation on this entry.]
B. FHL film 1320671, it. 5, the book "Historical and Genealogical Miscellany, Data Relating to the Settlement and Settlers of New York and New Jersey," by John E. Stillwell (Baltimore, 1970), p. 72, "Register of St. Mary's Church, Burlington, N.J.":
-p. 88: "Married - Sept. 29, 1774, Jacob Winner & Elizabeth Hellings." [Possibly a grand-daughter of Nicholas Hellings of Bucks Co,?]
C. "New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800," by William Nelson:
a. Marriage Licenses from New Jersey Colonial Documents:
-Winner, Jacob, Bucks, PA, and Elizabeth Helling, Bucks, PA, 1774 Sep 29.
3. FHL film 1320671, it. 5, the book "Historical and Genealogical Miscellany, Data Relating to the Settlement and Settlers of New York and New Jersey," by John E. Stillwell (Baltimore, 1970), p. 72, "Register of St. Mary's Church, Burlington, N.J.," p. 88:
"Married - Sept. 29, 1774, Jacob Winner & Elizabeth Hellings." Note this is the same church in which Abraham was also married in 1769. The book "New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800," by William Nelson, "Marriage Licenses from New Jersey Colonial Documents" adds a residence: "Winner, Jacob, Bucks, PA, and Elizabeth Helling, Bucks, PA, 1774 Sep 29." I have not seen ongoing records thereafter for Jacob in New Jersey, so I suspect he married "out of meeting" and returned to Pennsylvania. We do find a Bucks Co. tax record in 1778, "Lower Makefield, for Jacob Winner, married." There was another Jacob in Southampton Twp., Burks Co. who appears on a 1772 tax list then in probate: "1778, Jacob, weaver, Southhampton, adm., #1563"; couldn't find actual probate, but was administration only. A couple of loose unsubstantiated Worldconnect entries show that Jacob who married Elizabeth Helling was son of a Jacob in Bucks co. - probably should consider the possibility that Southampton Jacob could be father of Lower Makefield Jacob. No other entries in Bucks Co. for a Jacob after 1778. A more likely explanation and one that Ernestine Siegel mentions in her book is that these two Jacobs were in fact the one and the same with Jacob then dying relatively young. His age would be surmised from the earliest entry with him being at least 21.
