I guess my ancestors must have been savages too, makes sense. I still think its crazy my ancestors were reading/writing 400 years ago when many common people would have not had the luxury of learning to read.
I still often wonder where john wynge got the money to attend the queens college anyway. I cant imagine it would have been cheap.
The year following the excitement attending the Armada, John Wing entered Oxford University. The school was only twenty-three miles from his home. The matriculation entry is as follows: "John Wynge of Oxon, pleb, St. Alban's Hall, 15 October 1599, aged 14." And on 12 February 1603, Queen's College invested him with the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

That the soule of a childe of God is safe, in the worst estate he can be in, in this life; but a wicked mans soule is in most danger when his estate is at best.
That the very worst that ever befell any child of God in this world, was sent of purpose to prevent the worst of all, (viz: perdition in the world to come) but the best that ever wicked man had, was but to helpe him the neerer to hell.
Its strange to read something your ancestors wrote almost 500 years ago and maybe im being retarded again, but something resonates inside of me, for sure.
Anyway, I had to setup what kind of person john wing was so you could better understand his sons who would come over to the new world looking for a better life.
Daniel wing and his brothers were asked to crack down on quaker meetings, but refused.
Daniel and Stephen Wing refused to take the oath of fidelity, not on the ground that they declined all oaths, but because this particular oath pledged them to assist in the execution of an intolerant enactment. Indeed, so generally were the laws against free worship condemned in Sandwich, that the constable was "unable to discharge his duty by reason of many disturbent persons there residing," and it was enacted that a marshal be chosen for such service in Sandwich, Barnstable, and Yarmouth. In 1658 a list was made out for the governor and other magistrates of certain persons who refused to take the oath of fidelity, and for that reason had no legal right to act as inhabitants. They were, therefore, each fined five pounds to the colony's use, and it was ordered that each and every one of them should henceforth have no power to act in any town meeting till better evidence appeared of their legal admittance, nor to claim title or interest in any town privileges as townsmen, and that no man should henceforth be admitted as inhabitant of Sandwich, or enjoy the privileges thereof, without the approbation of the church and the governor. Many were summoned to Plymouth to account for nonattendance upon public worship and fines were exacted to the amount of 660 pounds. Of these fines Daniel Wing paid not less than twelve pounds.
I say my ancestors were savages, because they had no problems living with the peaceful indians that occupied the east coast. Its strange to think that all tribes have the same beliefs.
Accordingly, in 1652, an agreement was made with Daniel Wing and Michael Blackwell for the taking of fish in Herring River, and it was ordered that Edmund Freeman, Daniel Wing and four others who are named
"shall take care of all the fish that Indians shall cut up within the limits of the town, so as to provide safely for it, and shall dispose of the fish for the town's use; also, that if any man that is an inhabitant shall find a whale and report it to any of these six men, he shall have a double, and that these six men shall take care to provide laborers and whatever is needful so that whatever whales either Indian or white man gives notice of they may dispose of the proceeds for the town's use, to be divided equally to every inhabitant.
I guess my ancestors were communist as well?
Funny enough one of the brothers was lending guns to the indians. I mean, I prolly would too if they showed us how to plant/store corn, fish, etc.....
Some apprehensions began early to be felt that the Indians of the West were hostilely inclined toward the settlers, and a law was enacted to prevent all Indians from having the use of firearms. A number of persons were complained of (about 1642) for allowing Indians to use such weapons even in hunting. Among these were the Assistant Governor Freeman and John Wing Jr for lending guns to Indians.
Without those indians, many pilgrims would have died, do they really seem that savage to you?
Some of the tribes like the Iroquois, were fucking crazy warriors though. My ancestors were lucky in that regard, there seems to be no storys of indian attacks or anything like that.
Plenty of wings, like grindall wing of putnam county, were the first white settlers in those areas and were living peacefully with the indians.
The senior Wing was possessed of only an ordinary education, but he had been reared upon a farm, and was not afraid of hard work. At that time Putnam county was largely a primitive wilderness, full of Indians, and the wild forests were thick with bears, wolves, deer and other game.
Before the government and rich people stole their shit and forced them all out on the trail of tears.
I told you guys, there is a reason I feel closer to native americans than mainstream white people.
