Conrad Winegar

From Genealogy of the Winegar family, compiled by Ira Winegar of Middlebury, Indiana, and published after June 25, 1855:

Conrad, the fourth brother, is the only one, except my grandfather, that I ever saw. He was a noble, prepossessing man, in his appearance. In features he looked much like my grandfather, but was some three or four inches taller.

He always lived in Oblong, in the same neighborhood where he was born. He was for many years a respectable magistrate in Amenia and was known every since my recollection by the appellation of old Esquire Winegar.

He died about the year 1810 or 1812, at about 80 years of age and was buried in the same old grave-yard with his ancestors.

Of his wife I know nothing, except that her name was Rowe. He had but few children -- I believe but one son; his name, I think, was Garret. He died many years before his father, and before my recollection. The only one of his children that I remember seeing, was Mrs. Boyd, wife of Captain Samuel Boyd, of Amenia. I have however seen and been acquainted with several of his grand-children, of whom Solomon Winegar, a respectable and wealthy farmer who still lives in Sheffield, Mass., is one.
