Edward Wing Homestead

Page history last edited by PBworks 16 years, 11 months ago

 

Edward Wing built home 1761 (1761-1772)

   The architecture is distinctively of the Cape Cod type. A stately chimney rears up through the exact center of the building. The great fire-place in the family living room, nine feet in width and some five in height, is big enough to drive an ox-team into, or consume half a cord of wood in a single blaze. (Owl MAR 1902, p. 43)

                                                                                                         

     The home of Edward Wing was the fine old mansion upon Scorton Neck, built in 1761, so frequently visited by the Wing reunionists at Sandwich, and now the property of Mrs. E. H. Blake. It continued in the ownership and possession of the Wing family down to the present generation, and in the occupancy of Edward’s immediate descendants for ore than one hundred and thirty years. (Owl MAR 1916, p. 1526)

 

Edward Wing (1772 – 1816)

     He resided in Sandwich at his father’s home. (Owl MAR 1916, p. 1526)

 

     The fine old colonial home at Scorton Neck, Sandwich, built in 1768, has frequently been visited by the Wing reunionists upon their pilgrimages to Sandwich… The home of Edward Wing, which with its interior furnishings is still preserved, indicate that his family was one of the more than usual wealth and refinement in the neighborhood. (Owl SEP 1916, p. 1582)

 

Abra(ha)m Wing (1816 – 1844)

 

Isaac Hoxie Wing (1844 – 1896)

 

Mitchell Wing (1896 - 1901)

     His ancestral home was that fine old colonial mansion erected by his great-great-grandfather, Edward Wing, at Scorton Neck in 1762, and which was disposed of by Mr. Wing to E. H. Blake. (Owl MAR 1922, p. 2167)

   The place remained in the possession of the descendants until a few months ago, when it was sold by the heirs of the late Isaac Hoxie Wing to Mr. E. H. Blake, a merchant residing at Brockton, Mass. The purchase carried with it the entire household effects of the ancient home, and as a consequence, the building and its contents are preserved quite intact. (Owl MAR 1902, p. 43)

 

Edwin H. Blake (1901 – 19__)

  His widow owned the place in 1916 (and poss. still owned it in 1927)
