| Notes |
- He served in Butler's Rangers throughout the Revolution and subsequently settled in Bertie Township. He was listed in a return of the Loyalists in Captain George Dame's Company at Niagara on 30 November 1783, his age being given as 41.
[Haldimand Papers, B105-A:385] His land petition [W2:97] dated at Niagara 26 January 1797 only states that he served six years in Butler's Rangers and that at the reduction of the Corps he settled near Ft Erie.
- He married Mrs Edia Allen, widow of John Allen. Her petition [W2:64] is not dated but was received 27 January 1797. She was named in it as Edia Wintermute, wife of Philip Wintermute but late widow of John Allen. She and her late husband came
into the Province in 1785 with two children. In a subsequent petition [W4:58] dated at Niagara 7 February 1797 she stated that she and her late husband John Allen came into the Province "about nine years ago" and settled on a lot of land at
the head of the Chippawa, but that her husband "soon after dying" left her with a "large" family of children.
- It is apparent from Philip's will that he did not have any children or, at least, none who survived him. He did not mention his wife in his will so it would appear that she pre-deceased him. His will, on file at St Catherines, is dated 17
June 1809 and describes him as being of Bertie. He named: "my nephew Phillip Wintermute the eldest son of my brother Leonard Wintermute; my brother Abraham Wintermute; my nephew Abraham and niece Anna; son and daughter of my brother Abraham,
to have Lot 9 in the Front Concession off Bertie, 60 acres, when the become of age; my nephew Phillip Wintermute son of my brother Peter Wintermute 260 acres, being Lot 12 Concession 1 of Dorchester; my nephew Phillip Wintermute son of my
brother Benjamin Wintermute all my claim of interest to a certain tract lying near the Grand River and on the Indian lands which I purchased from the late Captain Joseph Brant; and my niece Polly Wintermute, daughter of my brother Benjamin
Wintermute". He named as executors Christian Ryslay and John Warren Jr, both of Bertie. Witnesses were Benjamin Wintermute, William Powell and John Putman. The will was proved 10 October 1809 on the oath of John Putman of Bertie, gentleman.
