Godfr(i)edus1 Wynge) was born in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England christened 12 January 1584.(7015) John died Will: 2 NOV 1629 - 4 AUG 1630 in St. Mary Aldermary, London, England, at approximately 46 years of age. He married Deborah Bachiler in (Unknown), England, about the year 1609-10.(7016) The influence of the courtship and the marriage of John and Deborah, and the consequent associations with the father of the latter, may have had much to do with the breaking of the young man's relations with his mother church. John Wing and Deborah Bachiler were married about the year 1609-10. It may be conjectured that because John's brother Fulke named a daughter Deborah, born to him in 1608, that the marriage occurred even earlier. At the time of his marriage John was about twenty five years of age, and Deborah barely eighteen. The oldest child, Deborah, was born in 1611. John, the second child, is said by some student of family history to have been born at Yarmouth. He is mentioned in his grand father's will made in 1614, so that it is probable that his birth occurred in 1613.(7017) Deborah was born in Wherwell, Hampshire, England 1591-2.(7018) In the "Q.R. Miscell., 560-562, Licenses to pass beyond the sea, Eliz, to Car. I." Public Records office, London, is this quaint entry: "XXII Junii 1624, Deborah Wynge XXXII years old, wife of Mr. John Winge, preacher, resident in Vlishing, with her two children, vizi, Stephen III years old and Debora Winge XIII years old. Vrs. ib. 't." This is the only record authority we have of the age of Deborah or of her daughter Deborah and son Stephen.(7019) Deborah was the daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler and Deborah Bate(s). Deborah died probably between 1655 - 1680 in Yarmouth, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now MA).(7020) It is believed she was buried at the Dillingham Burying Ground in Yarmouth, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now MA).(7021) It is conjectured that Deborah and her children returned to Holland after the death of her husband. The only proof of this is contained in Q.R. Miscell. 560 (licenses to pass beyond the seas. Eliz. to Car. I.) in the Public Record Office. An item reads: June 23, 1631, Stephen Bachiler, aged 70 years, resident of South Stoneham in Com. Southhampton, et uxer Helen xiviii veeres, vrs fflushing to visite thier sonns and daughters, and so to return within two months." Another, in the same volume reads: "XXV Junii, 1631, Ann Sanborn of age 30 years, widow, resident in ye Strand, vree Vlishing." The sons of Mr. Bachiler known to us were Samuel and Nathaniel and his daughters were Deborah Wing and Ann Sanborn. It is not improbable that Deborah in her widowhood returned to her old home at Flushing. This visit of Mr. Bachiler to his children was fraught with importance to the future of his descendants, for it was made for the purpose of completing final arrangements for the settlement in New England, which occurred the following spring.(7023) When the gentlewoman Deborah and her four half-grown sons, landed with their grandsire Bachiler at Boston in June, 1632, they were unusual emigrants. They came from gentle English homes; they had lived at Hamburg, at Middleburg, at the Hague, and in London; they had crossed seas before; they had been nurtured in the very cradle of English protestantism; they were protestants against the English Church themselves; they were such notable arrivals that Governor Winthrop himself makes mention of their coming in his diary.(7024) While the Wing Family of America is in firm belief that the Wing family came with Rev. Stephen Bachiler in the William and Francis in 1632, Anderson(7025) stated they "came to New England in the late 1630s and resided at Sandwich." Mr. Anderson based his conclusion on the fact that none of the Wing's were mentioned in any contemporary New England record until they settled in Sandwich. According to V. C. Sanborn, Winthrop wrote in his journal that "Mr. Bachiler and Mr. Welde, with their families" came to New England aboard the William and Francis. It is quite likely that Rev. Stephen came with his daughters Deborah & Theodate with their children as well as his Sanborn grandchildren and his grandson Nathaniel Bachiler The family first resided in Saugus, MBC.(7026) Five years went by at Saugus. Then our ancestress, Deborah, and her four sons took up the trek to Shawme--oldest town on the Cape--which later was called Sandwich after their home town across the water.(7028)(7027) Deborah, resided with her son John Wing(e) (II) in Yarmouth, (now Barnstable Co.), Plymouth Colony (now MA) by 1648. While the old OWL records claim that John moved his family to Yarmouth around 1656, it is known that he was of Yarmouth by 1648, when his son Ephraim was recorded born there. On 27 AUG 1680 brothers John, Daniel & Stephen agreed to forfeit their right of inheritance to their brother Matthew's estate. Mother Deborah was not mentioned in this record so that undoubtedly she was deceased by this time.(7029) In the meager town records of Sandwich no reference has been found to Deborah Wing. This is not strange. Her son John became the head of her household, and women were not prominent in town or public matters. Mrs. Emma Bartlett Chamberlain, historian of the Wing family, a few years ago found a will and the records of the probate of the estate of one Thomas Howell, a brick layer, who died in Boston in the spring of 1647. It appears that Mr. Howell lived at Duxbury in the Plymouth Colony and the inventory of his estate taken May 31, 1648, mentions "chattels at Kenelm Winslow's, at Thomas Burnes and at Robert Waterman's." Mr. Howell's business seems to have taken him abroad from his home. The reference in his probate papers to "Goodwife Wing" and John Winge undoubtedly referred to Deborah Wing and her son John, to whom, by some chance, he had become indebted. The term "Goodwife" as used by the early colonists, designated the head of a household. For further reference to this record see The Owl at pages 661-662.(7030) 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.(7032)(7031) The Rev. John Wing and Deborah, his wife, were at one time in Yarmouth, for their son John appears by the records to have been born there.(7035) [For] a time he was the minister of the wealthy society of Englishmen known as the "Merchants' Adventurers" at Hamburg, in Germany."(7036) His sermon, "Jacob's Staffe" was preached in November, 1617, as his farewell "to the famous fellowship of Merchants Adventurers of England, resident in Homburg."(7037) "..and it is known definitely that he was in charge of a congregation at the old Roman cinque port of Sandwich in Kent at some period prior to 1620. The proof of this is contained in the dedication of his first book, "The Crown Conjugall," printed in November, 1620. He inscribes it "To the Right Worshipfull Master Matthew Peke Esquire, Mayor of the Towne and Port of Sandwich, and to the Worshipfull, the Jurates hes brethren, the Common Counsell and whole Corporation of the same John Wing, doth with Grace and Peace and all good from the living God through the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, by the work of the Holy Spirit. "Your former favours, and the abundant fruits of your love Right Worshipfull and wlbeloved in the Lord) which I have from time to time experienced, ever since it pleased the Lord to cast affliction upon mine external state, doe daily provoke and deeply challenge from me, the manifestation of a thankfull hart unto you all, to whose kindnes I stand a Debtor much engaged to this day."(7038) Rev. John Wing(e) [Wynge] was next found in Flushing, Zeeland, United Provinces shortly before 19 JUN 1620. On 19 June, 1620, he was ordained "under the direction of Mr. John Paget, of Amsterdam, assisted by two Dutch clergymen, and in the presence of the burgomaster and other magistrates," paster of the English churches of Flushing and Middleburg, which were sufficiently near together to be served by one chaplain."(7039) He resided in The Hague, Holland after JUN 1624. He was the first settled English pastor at the Hague, being admitted 11 May 1627. The States of Holland allowed him a subsidy of £300 yearly, which by a decree of 17 August 1628, was augmented to £500. A subscription of £100 was raised by the English, and expended in repairing and beautifying the chapel. This church, or chapel, was much frequented by the royal family, and, especially by Elizabeth, daughter of King James, wife of the exiled King of Bohemia. It was here that Mr. Wing preached 18 May 1624, his sermon, "The Saint's Advantage, or the Wellfare of the Faithfull in the Worst Times," before Queen Elizabeth. This sermon was given at the Hague while Mr. Wing was still in the pastorate at Middleburg. It was printed in London in 1624," by John Dawson for John Bellamie, and was sold at his shop at the Three Golden Lions, near the Royal Exchange."(7040) He made a will in St. Mary Aldermary, London, England, 2 November, 1629. The English records contain this synopsis of his will: "John Winge, late of the Hague in Holland, clerk, now living in St. Mary Aldermary, London, 2 November, 1629, proved Aug. 4, 1630. Certain lands (freehold) in Crickston and Stroud, Kent, shall be sold as soon as conveniently may be and the money thereof arising shall be with all other goods, etc., divided into equal parts, the one to be had, received and enjoyed unto my loving wife, Debora, and the other part or moiety to be equally and indifferently had, parted, divided and enjoyed unto and amongst all my children, share and share alike, except unto and by my daughter Debora whom I have already advanced in marriage. Wife Debora to be executrix and Edward Foord of London, merchant, and Andrew Blake of Stroud, in Kent, yeoman, overseer."(7041) Unconfirmed evidence states that he died in St. Mary Aldermary, London, England, 21 JUN 1630.(7043) Rev. John Wing(e) [Wynge] and Deborah Bachiler had the following children: 31 i. Debora(h)4 Wing(e)(7044) was born in (Unknown), England 1610-1.(7045) She married Edward Fo(o)rd in London, England, before 2 NOV 1629.
