• Notes

  Winger (Spelled "Wenger" by some members of family), "The Wingers were among the early and respectable settlers of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They came to America from Switzerland as early as 1748 and settled in Lancaster County. They were an enterprising, industrious, and honorable people. Their descendants are now to be found in almost every state of the United States and quite a number have settled in Canada. The old progenitor that came from Switzerland was "Hans" (John) Winger. His family consisted of seven sons who were all born in Switzerland. The Wingers in Waterloo County are descendants of this old "Hans". Some are the children of old Joseph Wenger, a great-grandson of old "Hans", while others are descendants of old John Winger who was a grandson of old Hans Winger, and son of Adam Winger. We shall first give the descendants of old Joseph Wenger." Joseph Wenger, "was born and resided in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he died. He was married to Elizabeth Zimmerman who was born November 21st, 1778, and died March 23rd, 1840. After his decease, which took place in Pennsylvania in 1824, the widow with her family moved to Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada, in 1825, and resided in the town of Waterloo, in old Abraham Erb's house for eighteen months, then she moved two and one-half miles north of the town of Waterloo, on the place known as "Freunds" (now Eli Martins), opposite the Martin Mennonite Church. Here she resided until her death. Her family consisted of nine children" Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.
