HISTORY OF THE WINGATE FAMILY IN ENGLAND AND IN AMERICA, WITH GENEALOGICAL TABLES. COMPILED BY CHARLES E. L. WINGATE. PUBLISHED BY JAMES D. P. WINGATE, EXETER, N. H. 1886. PREFACE. The history of the Wingate family has never been written before except in unconnected fragments, embracing one or two generations or a few individuals of one generation. Some thirty years ago Rev. Dr. A. H. Quint, of Dover, N. H., published in The Dover Enquirer four articles relating to the early Wingates of America, and these sketches formed the nucleus from which the present history has• grown. Mr. John Wingate Thornton, of Boston, devoted a great deal of his time to investigating the genealogy of the family, and his unpublished work gave completeness to the story of the early Ameri­ can family, and also added facts relating to the English family. The work of connecting these records and of amplifying them has been carried on by the compiler of this book by researches in libraries and town records, and by correspondence with other members of the family. The genealogical tables of the earlier generations are as complete as they can be made. Those of the later generations have not in all cases been fully carried out for two reasons, first and chiefly, because repeated letters have failed to bring to hand the facts asked for, second, because a lengthened delay of years in order to hunt up a few names of present generations was not considered a sufficient reason for postponing the publication of the descriptive history, and the genealogy already obtained With the present work in the hands of members of the family it is to be hoped that interest will be aroused and more historical facts brought forward. In arranging this work the compiler has had valuable assistance from Mr. Charles P. Bowditch, of Boston, whose records of the Pick- 4 PREFACE, ering family contain an almost complete genealogy of the Pickering­ Wingate branch, from Rev. Charles Wingate of Haverhill, Mass., from Prof. Charles F. Richardson of Dartmouth College, from Mr. Dana W. Baker of Exeter, N. H., from Dr. John R. Ham of Dover, N. H., and from Rev. Jacob Chapman of Exeter, N. H. That there may be errors in the book is to be expected. One of the greatest difficulties that has met the compiler has been the vary­ ing statements of correspondents. Members of the same immedi­ ate family have differed to an astonishing degree in matters of dates, and occasionally of names for the present generation, and in the rec­ ords of generations preceding the present the difficulty in straighten­ ing out conflicting statements has, of course, been increased. In all doubtful cases the versions which seemed the most credible have been taken. Everyone who discovers what he knows to be an error, should communicate immediately with the compiler. If also each member of the Wingate family will send, as occasion calls, additional records relating to the history past or present, they will be kept on file, and when of sufficient number will be sent out to the subscrib­ ers of this book.

APPENDIX INDEX CHAPTER I. THE ENGLISH \'v"INGATES. Some time in olden days a gallant English warrior was fighting with the forces of the Crown against opponents of the reign. For hours the army of which he was a member had besieged a castle, unable to force an entrance. Then suddenly the powerful and valiant soldier-than whom there was no stronger in the line-rushed to the front and under a storm of showering arrows seized the castle gate with both his hands, tore it from its fastening and bearing it away upon his shoulders, opened a way for his comrades to enter. The castle was won and England gained fresh laurels. In recognition of the event and in honor of the brave deed the hero of the day was knighted by the Crown, and to his name was added the appellation "Win-gate", symbolic of the feat. So runs the legend that explains the origin of the family name of Wingate. Another story makes the name originate from" \\'ind-gate", so called from the stream of air sweeping through a chasm ; and in substantiation of this it is said that "\Vindgate of that ilk" is a name found in England. But the first mentioned legend finds corroboration in the crest of the Wingate family as recorded in the General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and \Vales, (by Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King of Arms) ;-A g~te of gold with the motto Win above it. [See Chapter VII.] As to the spelling and pronunciation of the name the style has changed at various times: Wyngate, Windgate, Wyndegate we find it in the English records; \Vengett, Wendett, Windiett, Windet we find it in the American books. The spelling illustrates the looseness of early orthography, the same sound being IO THE ENGLISH WINGATES. written in several different forms. Ninian 'iYinzet, D. D., one of the most conspicuous, learned and respectable opponents of Knox, the Scottish Reformer, is uniformly called Wingate by Knox's Reverend biographer, the r-· · ~.urate and accomplished Dr. McCrie, while in the wilt u1 J vu11' \Vingate, the progenitor of the American family, the name is spelled Winget, Windiet and \Vindet indifferently, the g and d having, it is said, the sound of j as in James or of g as in germ. When John a, son of Col. Joshua 2 Wingate, and grandson of the first American ancestor J olm 1, applied for matriculation at Harvard College in 1740, he pronounced his name " "J,Vinjet." President Holyoke at once repeated his name with emphasis "rfi'ingate ", desiring him " no more to abuse the good and honored name of Wingate".

    "A TUB TO THE WHALE": THE FOUNDING FATHERS AND ADOPTION OF THE FEDERAL BILL OF RIGHTS Kenneth R. Bowling Seamen have a custom, when they meet a whale, to fling him out an empty tub by way of amusement, to divert him from laying violent hands upon the ship. Jonathan Swift, Tale of a Tub (1704) Like a barrel thrown to the whale, the people were to be amused with fancied amendments, until the harpoon of power, should secure its prey and render resistance ineffectual. [Samuel Bryan], ''Centinel NO. 19, ' ' (Philadel- phia) Independent Gazetteer, October 7, 1788 The constitutional role of the federal Bill of Rights has been monu- mental. This fact would surprise most members of the First Federal Congress, the body which reluctantly proposed to the states the con- stitutional amendments later called the Bill of Rights.' The Federalist Mr. Bowling is a member of the First Federal Congress Project at George Wash- ington University, Washington, D.C. This article is based upon a chapter in his "Politics in the First Congress, 1789-1791" (Ph.D. diss., University of Wisconsin 1968). Additional research was conducted under a grant from the National Endow- ment for the Humanities. ' Although much has been written about the Bill of Rights, very little of it re- lates to the legislative history of its adoption. This is particularly true about the polit- ical aspects, most of which are contained in previously unstudied manuscripts. Robert A. Rutland, The Birth of the Bill of Rights, 1776-1791 (Chapel Hill 1955), which focuses on the background of the amendments, aptly summarizes its passage through the First Federal Congress.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

    The Kansas Red Legs: the Dark Underbelly of the Civil War in Missouri

    The Kansas Red Legs: the Dark Underbelly of the Civil War in Missouri Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen! Today, I’ll be talking to you about the Kansas Red Legs and the Dark Underbelly of the Civil War in Missouri. My discussion, I hope, will give you nsights into why Quantrill’s guerrillas came so far east during the Civil War and were involved in the execution of soldiers at the train station in Centralia. They also fought a major battle where we now stand and annihilated Major A. V. E Johnston’s Companies A, G, and H of the Thirty-Ninth Missouri Regiment. It’s important to emphasize to you that the Civil War in Missouri, as it relates to the Missouri guerrillas and the Union Army, was characterized, on both sides by what the U.S. Army today calls “Total War.” This meant, in Civil War days, that if a Union soldier captured a Missouri guerrilla, the guerrilla was executed, usually on the spot or soon thereafter. Union soldiers were dealt with in like manner. The Union Army started this no quarter policy of killing guerrillas in 1861, and the Missouri guerrillas quickly reciprocated that practice. You should view the massacre in Centralia and the destruction of the Union Army on this battlefield where we stand from this Total War, Black Flag, no quarter perspective in order to understand it. For instance, if the guerrillas in Quantrill’s force had been surrounded and captured in the battle of Centralia, instead of A.V.E. Johnston’s companies, 1 then, they would have been summarily executed afterward.

    KANSAS HISTORY an “Idea of Things in Kansas”

    76 KANSAS HISTORY An “Idea of Things in Kansas” John Brown’s 1857 New England Speech edited by Karl Gridley n early January 1857, following his well-publicized year of guerrilla warfare waged on behalf of the free- state cause in eastern Kansas, John Brown embarked on a whirlwind speaking and fund-raising tour throughout New England. Brown, through the constant field reporting of James Redpath and William Phillips in Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune and Richard Hinton in the Boston Traveller, had become something of a celebrity in Boston and New York, even to the point of having a Broadway play produced Iabout his exploits.1 Born May 9, 1800, in Torrington, Connecticut, John Brown grew up in Hudson, Ohio, and the Western Re- serve. As a young man he worked in Ohio and Pennsylvania as a tanner and wool broker. He married twice and fathered twenty children. By the 1830s Brown, a devout Calvinist, became increasingly involved in the aboli- tionist movement, becoming friends with men such as Gerrit Smith and Frederick Douglass. In the late 1840s he moved to North Elba in upstate New York to farm and assist former slave families living in the area. By 1855 five of Brown’s sons had moved from drouth-stricken Ohio to Kansas to settle near Osawatomie. They wrote their father often of the troubles in the area resulting from the struggle over whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free or slave state. John Brown Jr. wrote his father that they needed arms “more than we do bread.” Soon John Brown joined his sons at Brown’s Station, Kansas.
