Summary

Sources for this summary appear in the Biography.

Moses Van Winkle was a twice-married farmer and father of fifteen children. The son and apparently eldest child of James Van Winkle and Dorothy Thomas, it appears he was born in about 1865 in the northeastern corner of the Colony of Pennsylvania, in what was then Northampton County and is now Wayne County. His parents and younger siblings moved west without him in the 1780s. In about 1790, presumably in Mamakating, Ulster County, New York, across the Delaware River from where he was born, he married Elizabeth Tyler. They resided, initially, in Mamakating, where they had five of their nine children. In about 1799, they moved west to Ohio County, Virginia--today's Wheeling, West Virginia. There they had three more children. In about 1805, they moved further west to Muskingam County, Ohio, where their last child was born. Elizabeth died in Muskingam County in 1816. After her death, Moses married Martha Earles. They relocated a few miles away to a large farm in Fallsbury Township, Licking County, Ohio, where they had six children. Moses died on that farm in 1838, survived by Martha and fourteen of his children.

Biography

Birth, Childhood

As discussed, Moses Van Winkle appears to have been born in about 1765 in Northampton County, Pennsylvania Colony, in what is today Pennsylvania's Wayne County,^[1] in the northeastern part of the state, along the Delaware River and its border with New York.^[2] He was the son of James Van Winkle and Dorothy Thomas, apparently the first of their eight children.^[2] His younger siblings, all born, ostensibly, in the same area, were: Alexander, born about 1766,^[3] Aaron, born 10 Apr 1769,^[4] James, born about 1766,^[5] Ann, born 2 Jun 1776,^[6] Mary, born about 1777,^[7] and Abraham, born about 1779.^[8] His brother, Aaron, appears to have died at the hands of Native Americans in about 1775.^[4] During the American Revolution, there's a record suggesting that in May 1779, after a massacre of colonists (by British Troops and Native Americans), Moses and his parents and siblings temporarily removed, for safety, to Minisink, in New York's Orange County.^[9] After the Revolution, and by about 1785, Moses's parents and his living siblings appear all to have departed, without Moses, for southwestern Pennsylvania, likely to Nottingham Township, in Pennsylvania's Washington County,^[10] where, 17 Mar 1786, Moses's final known sibling, Joseph, was born.^[11] and where Moses's father died sometime shortly before 17 Nov 1786, when his father's will was probated.^[10]

First Marriage, Children

As for Moses, he remained in the vicinity of his birth and, by about 1790, married Elizabeth Tyler.^[12] Moses and Elizabeth presumably married in Mamakating, Ulster County (now Sullivan County), New York, where she was from and where there's a record of them living on 3 Jan 1791, apparently nearby her parents and other of her extended relations.^[13] They had five of their nine children, likely in Mamakating: Paul, born 25 Dec 1791,^[14] James, born about 1792,^[15] William, born about 1794,^[16] Dorothy (Dolly), born about 1796,^[17] and Sarah, born about 1798.^[18]

Move to Virginia

Moses, Elizabeth and their children moved to the area of Wheeling, in Ohio County, Virginia (later, West Virginia), by about 7 Oct 1799, on which date Moses bought land there for 270 dollars.^[19] As for the precise location of the land, it was somewhere along Big Wheeling Creek,^[20] along what was then the old "National Road" and which is today U.S. Highway 40. Some suggest Moses and Elizabeth came to the Wheeling area from Pennsylvania, but in the 1799 deed by which he acquired the land he identified himself as "Moses Vanwinkle formerly of New York."^[19] Most likely, then, they arrived in Virginia from New York, and, most likely, from Mamakating, where they were living as of 3 Jan 1791.^[13] There's no record of Moses and Elizabeth in the 1800 U.S. Census, and if they were indeed living in Virginia, as they presumably were, that would explain why. "The 1790, 1800, and 1890 federal census schedules for Virginia no longer exist."^[21] While residing in Ohio County, Moses and Elizabeth had three daughters, one whom they named Elizabeth, in about 1801,^[22] Esther, born 9 Apr 1803,^[23] and Eliza, born about 1805.^[24] Moses and Elizabeth sold their land in the Wheeling area, 3 Dec 1804, for $300.^[20]

Move to Ohio

Moses and Elizabeth moved west from the Wheeling area to somewhere between Cresden and Zanesville in the southern part of Muskingum County, Ohio, where, again apparently, Moses purchased land, 6 Jan 1806.^[25] Ostensibly, too, Moses and Elizabeth were two of the seven members who founded, in Muskingham County (about 4.5 miles north of Zanesville, on Carnation Road, in Muskingum Township), the Baxter Baptist Church (aka Wakatomika Church, Falls of Licking Church, in whose graveyard Elizabeth would later be laid to rest), 14 Sept. 1808.^[25] In about 1810, they had the last of their nine children, their son, Moses.^[26] They continued to reside in Muskingum County in 1811.^[27] Soon after that, it seems they moved within Muskingum County, to Muskingum Township, just north of Zanesville.^[25] There, about this time, their children began to marry: Paul married Elizabeth Bright, 8 Aug 1811,^[14] William married Susanna Bright, 18 Aug 1814,^[16] James married Ruth Butler, 15 Sep 1814,^[15] Dolly married William Butler, 13 Oct 1814,^[17] and Sarah married Jonathan Edington, 7 Mar 1815.^[18]

Wife's Death, Remarriage

Moses' wife, Elizabeth, died in Muskingum County, Ohio of unknown cause, 22 Apr 1816, at about age 42.^[28] Two years later, Moses took as his second wife, Martha Earle, in Coshocton County, Ohio, 17 Dec 1818.^[29] In 1820, Moses and Martha resided in Perry Township, Licking County, Ohio, with their first child, Julia Ann, who was born 16 May 1820,^[30] and two of Moses's children by his first marriage, Moses and Eliza.^[31] Immediately next door, with their own families, were Moses's adult sons, Paul,^[14] James^[15] and William,^[16] Moses in 1820 bought 135 acres of land in Licking County's Fallsbury Township, immediately north of Perry Township.^[32] Fallsbury Township, which was settled in 1818, is about 40 miles northeast of Columbus, Ohio.^[33] An 1881 history of Fallsbury Township identifies three of Moses's sons:

David Bright was the first settler, building his cabin, in 1818… The settlers that immediately succeeded Bright [though it isn't clear from the account when] were Hezekiah Blount, William Wilson, Paul , William and James Van Winkle. … A very early school-house, and probably the first in the township, was erected in the Van Winkle settlement, not far from the village of Fallsbury.^[34]

Moses and Martha had in Fallsbury Township had another daughter, Susannah, born 6 Jan 1822.^[35] Two more of Moses's adult children then married. Eliza, married Sanford Clark in Coshocton County, 17 Jan 1822,^[24] and Esther married Dewey Wheeler in Licking County, 2 May 1822.^[23] Moses and Martha then had their third child, a son, Samuel, 6 Oct 1823, in Fallsbury Township.^[36]

Moses's adult daughter, Elizabeth, married Joseph Hull in Coshocton County, Ohio, 27 Apr 1825.^[22] Moses bought another 270 acres of land in Fallsbury Township, 23 Jun 1825.^[37] Moses and Martha then had the last three of their six children in Fallsburg Township: Alexander, born 6 Oct 1826,^[38] Margary, born 1 Jan 1828,^[39] and Malinda, born 18 Feb 1831.^[40]

Final Years, Death

In 1830, Moses and Martha resided with five of their children in Fallsbury Township.^[41] Living immediately next door to Moses, with their own families of ten, were his sons, Paul^[14] and William.^[16] Moses's son, Moses, married Susanna Baughman in Fallsbury Township in about 1833.^[26] His daughter by Martha, Malinda, died there of unknown cause, 12 Aug 1834, at age 3.^[40]

Moses in 1835 acquired another 34 acres of land in Fallsbury Township.^[42] That same year his sons, James and Moses, bought land there, too. James bought 80 acres,^[15] and Moses 40 acres.^[26] Moses's daughter, Eliza, who had divorced the year before, married, in Knox County, Ohio, David Beck, 3 Mar 1836.^[24]

Moses died in Fallsbury Township, 22 Feb 1838, apparently at age 67.^[43] He's buried in Van Winkle Cemetery in Fallsbury Township.^[43] Moses was survived by his second wife, Martha, who died in Fallsbury Township, 21 Feb 1870, at age 83,^[44] and by fourteen of his fifteen children (listed here in order of their deaths): James, who apparently died in Effingham County, Illinois, 6 Sep 1852, at about age 60,^[15] William, who died in Fallsbury Township, 6 Sep 1852, at about age 58,^[16] Eliza, who died in Effingham County, Illinois, in about 1855, at about age 50,^[24] Paul, who died in Knox County, Illinois, 1 Sep 1859, at age 67,^[14] Elizabeth, who died after 15 Jun 1860, likely in Monroe Township, Knox County, Ohio,^[22] Dorothy, who died, likely in Muskingum County, after 19 Jun 1860,^[17] Sarah, who died, likely in Ohio, sometime after 7 Jul 1860,^[18] Julia, who died in Fallsbury Township, 21 Dec 1860, at age 40,^[30] Esther, who died in Coshocton, Ohio, 19 Oct 1864, at age 61,^[23] Margary, who died in Knox County, Ohio, 15 Dec 1891, at age 73,^[39] Susannah, who died in Fallsbury Township, 26 Jan 1893, at age 71.^[35] Moses, who died in Iowa, ostensibly 18 Oct 1895, at age 85.^[26] Samuel, who died in Licking County, Ohio, 5 Dec 1895, at age 72,^[36] and Alexander, who died in Knox County, Ohio, 23 Apr 1901, at age 74.^[45]

Most of the over 400 acres Moses acquired in Fallsbury Township remained in his family since.^[46]

Research Notes

There's speculation here and here that he may have had an additional daughter, named Mary, by his first wife, Elizabeth, but the evidence is too sketchy to include her here.
