- Query:Wain/Wayne Researcher: Marilyn Good May Email:dicknmarylyn@hotmail.com Date Posted: 16 Nov 2003
My 3X great grandfather, ANTHONY WAINE/WAYNE served 27 years in the 7th
Regiment of the New York Home Guard as Private, Captain, Major and then
Colonel. ANTHONY was born 30 Oct 1798 at Maryland, Otsego, NY, although
his birth is registered in the Vital Records of the town of Schodack,
Rensselaer Co., NY. He was the son of JOHN WAINE and ISABELLA BURNSIDE.
ANTHONY died in June 1859 at Franklinville, Elgin, Illinois. In 1821
he married THANKFUL PLATT, the daughter of DANIEL PLATT and JERUSHA DIBBLE.
They were still in Otsego Co, Maryland Township, in the 1830 census, but
patented land in Illinois in 1846. I have been able to find very little information on this Anthony
WAINE/WAYNE...and nothing on his father, JOHN WAINE, other than his
marriage to ISABELLA BURNSIDE. From what I have gathered, the families
of WAYNE, BURNSIDE, PLATT AND DIBBLE were all fairly common to Otsego
County. I would like to find some information on the New York Home
Guard on the chance that there would be additional information there. Also any information that would tie his father, JOHN WAINE, to
ANTHONY WAYNE, one of the first settlers of New Scotland, New York
would be greatly appreciated. Family history tells me that there
is a connection, but there is a generation gap between JOHN and ANTHONY
that I can't seem to fill. Thank you.

Otsego County, NY. He left New York for Wisconsin by the 1840's. I am especially interested in W.J. Winney because I believe one of is parents
might be the Native American. My GGrandmother Anna Elizabeth (Winney) Spencer,
b. 1870 in WI was known to be "part-Indian" in my family, and the earlier I
receive photos of the Winney family, especially the men, the more I see strong
Native American likenesses. In Wisconsin, W.J. Winney married Anna Eliza Blessing in 1845; became a
constable and highly respected member of Temperance societies; he also was a
staunch Methodist and he died in WI in 1881. Thank you for any information regarding W.J. Winney's New York family, including

WILES
Looking for information concerning marriage of Coenradt (Conrad) Wiles and Margaret _____. Their son, Henry, (believed to be their oldest child) was baptized by Rev. Schermerhorn at the Dutch reformed Church of the Town of Otego on April 12, 1807. Coenradt and family and his father Henry Wiles and family may have lived on Wallaces Patent near the village of Otego, NY at that time. They may have moved from Montgomery County sometime prior to 1807. Henry Wiles, who served in the Revolutionary War, died at Huntsville (Otego?) in Otsego County in 1821. Would apprecaite any information concerning Henry Wiles or any of his children which we believe included Coenradt, Adam, Christian, Joseph, John, and Peggy. Where is Henry wiles Buried? Sun Jan 26 15:13:05 1997
WILES
Looking for information on ancestry of Henry Wiles (Weyl, Weil) and Elizabeth Fritcher (Fritscher). Earliest information we have is their marriage at the Reformed Church at Stone Arabia, Montgomery Co., on Oct. 4, 1768. Henry died in Huntsville in Otsego County NY in 1821. Elizabeth died in 1852 in Cortland Co. NY at the agoe of 104. Much of our information comes from a Revolutionary War Record which consists mainly of Elizabeth's application for pension in which she eictates all she remembers about Henry's service (fascinating!!). Incidently, the record indicates that he fought in the "Oriscany Battle with the Indians and British". Historical information concerning the Battle of Oriskany does not include his name. Should it? We believe the children of Henry and Elizabeth included: Coenradt (Conrad) born about 1771 (our ancestor)
Adam born about 1781
Christian born 1789
Joseph
John
Peggy (married Nicholas Coanradt)
We have much information on the Wiles from 1768 to the present that we are willing to share.
