Winegar, born May 13, 1816, married August 29, 1837 to Mary Judd.  Alvin died June 12, 1874 in Salt Llake City, Utah.   Next we go to Samuel Thomas Winegar born Dec. 15, 1840 in Nauvoo, Hancock, Il. Married Rachel Jane Kilfoyle. He died March 17, 1921 in Woods Cross, Davis, Utah.   Next we go to William Wesley Winegar born March 5, 1864 in Salt lake City, Utah. He married Nov. 18, 1885  to Myra Pace. He died Nov. 26, 1942 in Logan, Cache, Utah.   Next we  go to Clarence Winegar (my husband’s grandfather) born Feb. 6, 1887 in Bountiful, Utah. Married Sylvia Mann May 27, 1961. He died March 17, 1961, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Clarence Winegar raised his children in Woods Cross, Utah.  My father-in-law, Earl,  moved to Ontario, Oregon.   As far as going further back than Samuel Thomas Winegar, I just show  Samule S. Winegar Married to Susannah Thomas. and then Rhonda Elizabeth Cummings’ parents as John Cummings and Sarah Sibley. If you go further back I would love to know.   Some information might have a different day or month but usually checked out. I hope you can figure out what I have written.  Just depends on the children and who line it takes off in.

It’s good to hear from a fellow Winegar. I can’t tell from your comment who you are related to. Let me know who you are related to and how. Then I can find how you and I are related. You may have some information that I don’t have.

Hope to hear from you again soon.

Jim Winegar

I enjoyed reading what you wrote and thought you did a great job, as to the correction you was given about the marriage of Alvin and Mary, I had some professional work done and they gave me a marriage date of August 29, 1837. So who knows

I’m glad you enjoyed reading the blog. I really haven’t written anything in for quite a long time but hope to get back to it sometime.

The pronouciation question is interesting. Ira Winegar, one of the early family genealogists, wrote to his cousin, Caleb in 1855. He says that some members of the family were pronouncing the name Wine-gar but he thought it should be more like Winnegar with three sylables. Copies of Ira’s letters are on the internet. My side pronounces it like you do like vinegar.I don’t know when the split occurred. I have also run into Wine-e-gers. The name originally was German or Swiss and wouldn’t have had an English spelling. Early census reports have the name spelled many different ways.

I would be interested in a copy of your family tree. I have some gaps in my records of the Mornon descendants. Can you trace your ancestry back to the early Mormon WInegars?

What does RLDS stand for. I don’t think I have run into that before.

I have enjoyed reading your blog. My family goes back to the RLDS Church. I was trying to figure out where and why the LDS Winegar’s pronounce the name as wine-e-ger and the RLDS Winegar’s pronouce it as Win-ne-ger or Vinegar with a W. Do you have any insight on the pronunciation? Also, I have a hand written tree that is pretty intersting. Do you have an email that I could send it to?

Thanks
Jonathan Winegar

I have one correction on the marriage information of Alvin and Mary that you may be interested in. In the record of marriages for Henry County Indiana is listed the marriage of Alvin Winegar and Mary Judd on August 31st 1837 by James Tomlinson.
