All Wisconsin Winget's:
There is NO proof or direct, specific evidence that McCreary Winget, son of Ziba, was the father of Charles Wesley and siblings. Yes, McCreary married Charity Livingston, he was in Clark Co. Ohio for 1840 US Census and not there in 1850. A Charity Winget and family were listed in 1850 Wisconsin. Statements that Charity Winget was the widow of McCreary and her children were grandchildren of Ziba are unproven.It is probable, but positive.Research must continue in an effort to find documention linking the Wisconsin group with Ziba and McCreary Winget. At this point of Wisconsin Winget research NO proof has been found. Responses suggesting that the link is positively there are nothing but conjecture.This ishow incorrect lineages get perpetuated.Additionally, there is NO NO NO NO proof that Caleb Winget's lineage was out of New Hampshire. May have been, probably was, but no positive evidence.Purely conjecture, looks good so let's make it so. Just because the Shellabarger publication stated, not proved, the theory, does not MAKE IT SO!!! Primary research is need, NOT repeats of secondary sources.
