PATRICIA AND BQYD TINGLE OF VIMBERLEY. TEXAS

The story about this couple, and their picture which appeared inthe last issue of the newsletter (Vol. 7 - No. 1, pp. 3-4), hasaroused considerable interest among our readers.

Mr. Tingle and his family have responded with enthusiasm bysending an old family picture and various charts, and we have receivedcontributions from several members of the family. With the additionalinformation he is sending us, we hope to have an interesting story forour readers in the next issue. Welcome to 'TINGLE DESCENDANTS', Mr.and Mrs. Tingle.

JESSE TINGLE OF KENTUCKY (1799 - 1854

By now our readers know that when staff member, Jody Rice ofOrlando, FL, sets her sights on an elusive, long lost Tingle Ancestor,it is only a matter of time until facts of his or her life areunearthed. This also applies to any descendant. Such is the casewith JESSE TINGLE of Kentucky, very likely the son of JASPER TINGLE,born 1764/65 in Maryland. The latter's name appears on the 1790Reconstructed Census of Delaware, when he was living in BaltimoreHundred of Sussex County. Detailed reference was made to JASPER in"TINGLE DESCENDANTS", Vol. 6 - No. 4, pp 7 - 18.

The following article by Mrs. Rice was prepared by her in August1992, but due to lack of space in our family newsletter, we have beenunable to publish it sooner. It is a splendid example of detailed andtime-consuming genealogical research. Our thanks and congratulationsto her! Seventeen pages of supporting documents, ancestor charts andfamily group listings accompanied this article. Only lack of spaceprecludes us from publishing them at this time.

JESSE TINGLE OF FAYETTE,JESSAMINE,SCOTT & WOOEFORD COUNTIES,KY.

Compiled and written by Jody Rice, August, 1992.

•7JESSE TINGLED was born December 14, 1799, probably in Fayette °County, Kentucky. He was very likely, the eighth child bornto JAS?ER_TINGLE, born 1764-65, Maryland, and his wife ( ),unknown to date.

I first located Jesse, listed as a tax payer, of over 21, andliving in Woodford County, Ky., along with other Tingle men, 'lrliving in the same area I had been finding -a.JEPE TINGLE,in census records and a mortgage record of Scott County, Ky.Eventually, I was informed that a "P" was used, in old script,to indicate double esses. A practice used by German scribes,that was carried over, into the new country, 'and used quiteoften, in the early records of the 18th and 19th centuries.

I &Jesse married SARAH C. PLUNKET OR PLUNKETT, February 2, 1824,.Lexington, Fayette Co.,Ky. She was the daughter of REUBINPLUNKET, as shown on their marriage bond record. A JOHN PLUNK-ET acted as bondsman SARAH C. PLUNKET TINGLE, was born onJuly 15, 1801 in Kentucky.

On November 11, 1824,^JESSE TINGLE & JAMES JOHNSON, signed amortgage, agreeing to make $100.00 payments, every four months,for 5 years, which might be discharged by the payment of $25.00worth of spun cotton, delivered to JOEL SCOTT, each month, untilthe balance of $1,500.00 was paid. Jesse and James were buyingequipment and building, to start their own cotton factory. Someof the equipment, was 4 Throstles and 1 Rell, plus 6 CormesA Throstle, was a form of spinning machine, in which the threadis spun from roves, by the continuous operation of a set ofdrawing rollers, with bobbins and fliers. So named from thehumming sound it makes. . . . I '-n let you use the dictionary forthe others! The above mortgage was drawn and signed,in Scott County, Ky. Payments to begin on 22 Nov.,1824.

I have no further information concerning.the cotton factory, orthe equipment. However, Jesse appeared on a Woodford County,Ky. /tax list of 1825, along with Jasper, David and Nathaniel Tingle.(Nathaniel was my great-great-grandfather)....All were living inWoodford County, at Versailles, and Nathaniel and David Tinglewere partners of lot f66, with two residences and a cotton factory.It appears that Jasper and Jesse Tingle, had moved to Mortonsville,near Versailles, KY., in Woodford County, to join the family.A tax list, the following year, in the same area, did not list /Jesse, but Jasper stayed, 4+ fe -f- * "iof<s. yeARS . ' *

The 1830 census of Woodford Co.,KY., p.333 of microfilm, shows ~Jasper Tingle and his wife, ages 60 to 70 years, with 1 male, o30 to 40 years old, 1 female, 20 to 30 years old, and two child-ren, 1 male, under 5 years, and 1 female, 5-10 years... SinceJesse Tingle was not listed on the index of that census, I feelsure that he was the 30-40 year old male, above, and the 20-30year old female, was his wife. Likewise, the two children weremost likely theirs. Those children, were later identified as,JOHN P. TINGLE, b. 1825, Ky. , and AMANDA TINGLE, b. 13 Sep.1826,Ky This record, was the last one of Jasper Tingle and hiswife 30 X -Hiink 4-hey PRCB^Bly Dt^D IN WoobF-oRb oft. ~3ess/NWtfN£ G>>

In 1840, J'JEPE"^TINGLE was in Jessamine County, KY. The 1census enumeration of Jesse and family, was shown on p.223,of Micro Copy No. M704, Roll No. 116, R.G.312-UNI. The familywas listed as follows;

JEPE TINGLE, age 40-50 (b.1799, Ky.)1 female, age 30-40 (b.1801, Ky.) =(SARAH C.PLUNKET TINGLE)

1 male, age 15-20 (b. 1825, Ky.)=JOHN P. TINGLE)1 male, age 10-15 (b. 1828, Ky.)=JESSE TINGLE, JR.)

*1 male, age 5-10 {b. 1830-35)-?1 male, age under 5 (b. 1835-40)-?**********1 female, age 20-30 (b. 1810-1820)-?1 female, age 10-15 (b. 1826, Ky.)=AMANDA TINGLE)

*Note; ANN M. TINGLE, born ca. 1830, was not accounted for,unless an error was made, and she was listed as a male.

The two slaves, were: 1 male, age 10-25, and 1 female, age36-55, making a total of 10 persons accounted for, with 5 in agri-culture .

Jesse Tingle and Sarah C. Plunket Tingle,_ were not listed in thecensus index of 1850,in Kentucky,as far as I have been able todetermine. Perhaps they were living with one of their children,that I have not yet discovered Jesse Tingle died on 15 Oct.1854, at age 55, and was buried in Section I, lot #15 of theLexington Cemetery, on Main St., Fayette County, Ky....His wife,Sarah Plunket Tingle, lived another decade, outliving her hus-band by eleven years. It now appears, that Sarah married again,to a YOUNG. However, when she died, she was buried near Jesse,in the Lexington Cemetery, on Main Street, Fayette County, KY. dShe died 10 March, 1866, at age 65.

The 1850 census of Lexington, Fayette County, KY., index, showsthe name AMANDA TINGLE, twice, Fayette County, p.142 District.The microfilm was very difficult to read, but it was clear IQenough to make out the names of, AMANDA and her sister, _ANN M.TINGLE. Amanda was 23 years old and Ann was 19 They wereamong several young women, of the same age group, headed by aman and woman, (names were not legible). He was a Silversmithby trade, and she was a Seamstress. It appears to be a schoolor home for girls The girls had no occupation, so I amassuming it was a school.

The first child, born to Jesse Tingle and Sarah C. Plunket-Tingle, was JOHN P.. TINGLE, b. 1825, Kentucky, probably inWoodford County A John Tingle, age 35, in the 1860 cen-sus, was living in Scott County, Ky. He was by trade, a Weav-er and Hames maker ^ marriage, for a JOHN TINGLE, to MARYBARNHILL, took place or. 30 March, 1843, in Scott Co. ,KY. .*489.married by P.H.

marriage license was issued on the llth. Amanda's age wasattested to, by her father,.JEPE TINGLE. They were married by .«W. C. DANDY, Minister of M.E. Church, South, in the presence of ''D.F. WINCHESTER and I. TWEEDIE Amanda was nearly 27 yearsold, and her husband was a few months younger. He was born 17thof December, 1826 in Kentucky. His parentage is not knownI suspect that he may be the son of one of Jesse's brothers.If that turns out to be true, then Amanda and William,Jr., werefirst cousins I had hoped to prove his parents, by hisdeath certificate, but that didn't happen. The clerk of FayetteCounty, that copied it for me, added a note, saying that no otherinformation was given I have also searched the 1850 censusrecords of most of the Tingle families of Henry County, andsurrounding counties, to find-William, jr., at age 23, with hisparents. No luck!

The 1860 Census of Fayette County, in Lexington, Ky., p.579 of ||the microfilm, listed the following Tingles:

WILLIAM TINGLE, age 34, owned $500.00 worth of RealEstate and was worth $100.00 personal property. Hewas shown as being a Carpenter, at that time.

This. WILLIAM TINGLE, (III) took over his father's Grocery, /#and remained in Lexington, KY ....... He died 4 Dec., 1915,from Edema of the Lungs, with Pneumonia, Contributing tohis death, was Exposure. He was buried on the 5th of Dec.,1915, in Section 11, Lot 56, in the Lexington Cemetery, in ^iLexington, Fayette Co., KY ........ At the time of his death, 'he and his wife, Annie, were living at 377 E. Third Street,Lexington, KY ......... I was not able to find a marriage re- „cord for this couple, and I have not read the more recent '"census, of this couple, after 1870. There were probablymore children ....... Their son, _James H. Tingle, mentionedabove, was only 23 years old at the time of his death, onSept. 5, 1907. He is also resting in the same, Section 11, TLot 56, with the others of his family ........ His mother,Annie ( ) Tingle, was not buried near her husband andson.

***********************************************************The third child of Jesse and Sarah C. Tingle, was JESSE, JR. ,born 1828, in Kentucky. I did not look for a marriage recordfor him, because I found that he had died at age 36, on 24thof July, 1864, and was buried in the Lexington Cemetery, in . \iSection I, Lot #15, interment on the 25th. Cemetery records *identified him as the son of Jesse and Sarah C. Tingle. ~-

The fourth child of Jesse and Sarah C. Tingle, was ,ANN M. Iborn 1830, Kentucky. She never married, and lived

many years with her sister Amanda and family. Ann M. Tingledied on July 1, 1896, at age 66. Cemetery records of Lexington,listed her as Miss Ann Tingle, Section 15, lot 40, S.E.^, Lex.,Ky. She was inter'ed on the 1st of July, so she probably died onJune 30th.

The fifth child of Jesse and Sarah C. Tingle, was EDWARD D^TINGLE, born on the 26th of December, 1840, in Kentucky,probably in Jessamine County ..... Edward did not reach maturity.He died at age 11%, on June 16, 1852, and was buried in Sec. I,Lexington Cemetery, Main St., Lexington, KY. , Fayette County. HEdward appears to be the last child born to Sarah Tingle, andJesse, sr.

Returning to. AMANDA & WILLIAM TINGLE, JR., they remained inLexington, Kentucky, living at 214 North Lime' St. , at the time ,£-of William's death, in 1900. When Amanda Tingle died in 1907,she lived at 416 Limestone ...... Through the years, starting in1826 to 1901, several of the Lexington, Kentucky, Tingles, hadmany Deed and Mortgage transactions, between family members and /§others. I have a lengthy, index record, of all Tingle trans-actions, in Fayette County, Ky., 1794 to 1903. Also, I havecopies of eight of those original records, pertaining to thetransactions between family members, etc.... I will gladly makecopies, to send to interested, members of "Tingle Descendants".

Continuing with the identification of Amanda & William Tingle'sfamily, as I kriow them, they are;

Mary E. Tingle, never married, and remained at home with herparents.

That became seven years, as Am-anda died of Organic Heart Disease, on March 31, 1907, at age ..

She was buried on April I, 1907, in Section J, Lot 112, "*Grave W^. Her death certificate states that she was 80 years,6 mos. 6. 18 days old at her death. The attending Physician,was DR.

The second child of Amanda and William Tingle, Jr., wasEMMA TINGLE,, born 1857, in Lexington, Fayette Co., Ky. Shenever married, and also lived at home, until her death inthe year 1925, on 13th of August. Emma was also buried inthe Lexington Cemetery, in Section 15, lot #40. She was 74.

The third child of Amanda and William Tingle, Jr., wasELIZA TINGLED born ca. 1858. Eliza never married, and alsospent most of her life, living at home, with parents andsiblings. She died at age 71, on Feb. 18, 1928. She too ^was buried in the Lexington Cemetery, Fayette Co., Ky., inSection 15, Lot #40, near her family.

The fourth child of Amanda and Wi-lliam Tingle, Jr., was •«.WILLIAM TINGLE, (III V born 20 Nov., 1859, and died Dec. 4, 1915. «'Please see pages 3 & 4 , as he has been previously identified.

The fifth child of Amanda and William, Jr., was L LAURATINGLE L born ca. 1861, Lexington, Fayette Co., Ky. She was J .9 years old in the 1870 census of Fayette County, p.340-A, ofthe microfilm. I have not read the 1880, 1900, 1910 or 1920census records of this group, so I am not sure when Laura leftthe nest. She probably married and moved away. More researchneeds to be done, in marriage records, etc ..... Laura was notburied in the Lexington. Cemetery, However, she may have been,under her married name.

.ERNEST BERNARD TINGLE,, was the 6th child of Amanda & Wm. ' *"Tingle. He was born ca. 1864, Fayette County', Ky.. I havenot found a marriage record, but he was listed twice, on theDeeds, Mortgages, Etc. , Fayette Co.,KY., in 1885 and 1892, both

mortgages were between Ernest and William Tingle, Jr. /£For $400.00, plus 6% interest, per annum, to purchase a groc-ery store, and all equipment, from house and store, locatedat the corner of Warnock and Goodlove, or Goodloe Streets, inLexington, Kentucky. I think ,..- -William Tingle, Jr., is act-ually the son of William Tingle, Jr., the husband of Amanda \5Tingle. Some of the records also show Wm. Ill as a junior.However, Amanda's husband was a Junior, on his death record,so he is the legal William, Jr., and their son will be ident-ified as William III. It appears that this transaction wasbetween brothers, but it does get confusing, and sometimesdifficult to tell which is which. .
