He was married to Hannah Boughner on 7 Mar 1826. The mother of these children is uncertain without the date of death for Hannah. However, it is assumed children born prior to Issac's second marriage are Hannah's, and children born in or around
his time of marriage to Martha, are Martha's.

He was baptized 25 October 1747. It is stated in "The Wintermute Family History" that John married in New Jersey a Miss Decker or Windecker and that she died there. Both names were common in the northern part of Sussex County. It should be
noted, however, that a family of Windecker's, also tory, lived in the Wyoming Valley before the Revolution not far from where the Wintermute's lived. John's name appears on the tax lists for the Exeter District of that Valley for 1776 and
1777. He served in Butler's Rangers, and at the reduction of that Corps he settled in Bertie. His household is listed in a return of the Loyalists in Captain Bernard Frey's Company of the Rangers at Niagara 30 November 1783. [Haldimand
Papers B105-A:381] The list names Corporal John Wintmot aged 27 and Mary Wintmot 24 followed by three entries with the name Wintmot written, but for which no first names or ages are given. If the age given for John was 37, it would be more in
accordance with his baptismal record.



A land petition from him dated 9 July 1795 [W3:137] states that he served in Butler's Rangers as a corporal and that he has a family consisting of five children. No mention was made of a wife. The following certificate of J. Ball, J.P., on
file with the petition, indicates a second marriage for John. "Newark, 20 March 1797. I do hereby certify that corporal John Wintermute served in Butler's Rangers during the was; that he had a family before the year 1789 consisting of a wife
and eight children; that his wife is the daughter of a Loyalist Hannah Lybs who came in the year 1778".



The "Loyalist Hannah Lybs" can only mean Hannah Sypes, or Sipes, who did enter Niagara in 1778. This would mean that John had married a sister of the wife of his brother Peter, but additional evidence should be found to corroborate such a
marriage. It is noted, however, that two of John's daughters were Hannah and Eve, names which were used in the Sipes family.



John subsequently married Nancy Leopard (leppard, etc) but whether this was before or after he moved to Humberstone is not known. Documents on file with Nancy's land petition [L:3:35] indicate that she was married to John after 9 May 1797 and
more likely after 1800. A power of attorney dated at Humberstone, 22 October 1832 states that "I, Nancy Wintemute of Humberstone, widow of John Wintemute late of same place, yeoman, deceased, and daughter of William Leopard, at his birth of
Bucks County in the State of Pennsylvania, known before marriage as Nancy Leopard, do appoint Andrew Mercer of the town of York as my attorney to receive for me title to the south part of Lot 23 Concession 4 of Scarboro' containing 100 acres".
Witnesses were John Wintemute (Jr) and Aaron Doan.

John\Johannes married Mary Decker \ Windecker before 1772 in New Jersey. Mary died in 1774 in New Jersey. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Kelsey Jones mentions that in a list of Butlers Rangers that naturally included the Wintermute boys, Hendrick "Henry" Windecker was also on the list.



Besides the notorious Windecker at the Battle of Wyoming, I would like to know more about this family.
