JEDIDIAH TINGLE

Your editor is pleasantly surprised by the flow of literary talent which continul!:s to surfacl!: among Tingll!: dl!:Bcendants. Thl!: following articll!: by Mrs. Jack il!: Goldman of Watl!:rioo, Ontario. Canad a is a good example . It i s interesting. well written and clearly documented. She graciously gives credit to David P. Shaw of Reston. Virginia. as well as your I!:ditor. for several of her sources of information.

Jackie. a member of our nl!:wsletter staff, is a ' dl!:scl!:ruiant of Jedidiah and consequently of Hugh Tingll!: who emigrated to Maryland in 1669 . She spells Jedidiah's name with an "i" bl!:tween the " d " s. His name is spelled that way in bis will, although ma.uy later references use the letter "e" be­tween the "d"s. Herewith her story:

JEDIo10H TINGLE

Jedldieh Tingl.S(SamUe14,llttleton3,Samua12,Hughl) ~a9 one of the

earliest settlers of Turtle Creek Township in Werren County. Ohio.

Jedidiah and his wife Elizabeth had 8 large family, Bnd today their descendent. live throughout the United States end Canada.

(.jht~) Jedldlah Tlngle wes born 1n 1766 1n Cool Spring, Sussex County,

Delaware. l He was the 80n of Samuel and Amy (Wyatt) Tingle and the

grandson of Littleton and Margaret (Smith? ) Tlngl •• 2 In 1792, probably

after the death of hi. father, Jedldlah Bold the family plantation 3 4 -T1ngle 1 s Choice" and moved to Fayette County, Pennsylvania.

Around this time he married EliZabeth Reeder (born January 4, 177&/1777 5 --

in loudon County, VlrQlnla). Circumstantial evidence strongly indicates

that she was the dBu~htar of David and Mary (Adams?) Reeoer. 6

In 1792 or 1793 Jedidiah and Elizabeth, along with the large Reeder family, settlad in Columbia, Hamilton County, Ohio. A letter, written i n

le~l by Or. Ezra Ferris, states "Among the arrivels which were daily taking

place at the stations slong the river •••• I recollect one arrival of nine familias, viz: David, Joseph, Daniel, Jacob, and Stephen Reeder, who were

brothars: Tha-as Hubbell, who was brother-in-law, and William Harper, Jeremiah Brann. and Hr. Tingley (T1ngle) who had married daughters of the

Reeders." 7

On Hay 5, 1796 Jedidiah purchased 8 full section (640 acres) fran

Jacob Dayton in Hamilton Count~ (Section 12, Township 4, Range 3). This property i8 now 1n Warren County~ located about 1 1/2 miles east of the town of Lebanon 1n Turtle Creek Township. Here Jedidieh remained for the

rest of his 11fe. His large brick house i8 still standing today, with the

initiale "J.T." and the dete "1817" set into a gable on the west Sids.8

On February 28, 1797 Jedidiah saId the south half of his section t o David Reeder, this David Reeder being either a fath Er-in-law or broth er- i n-law.

Addendum Notes: by JO ANN R. RICE 199C

Jedediah Tingle was listed in the " PIONEERS OF INDIANA SOCIETY " book, as published by the INDIANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. I sent a request to the Society of Pioneers, aSking for copies of the original applica­tion ... Mrs. Moudy, a Society staff member, found that Jedediah indeed lived and died in Ohio ; eventhough he purchased much land in Brookville, Indiana, and Shelbyville, IN. All land records show his residence as Ohio. The application for " PIONEER" membership, was sent by JESMA DALE BELLMARD, in 1963. Copies of those application records, are included at this time, as pp . A-E.

OBITUARY

Funerd Service. for Beulah Rawls Tingle of Arapahoe, North Carolina were held on June 21 at the Bethany Chri.ti&n Church. Mrs. Tingle died on June 18 in Ma .. achusetts while visiting her daughter and family.

Born 19 January 1897 in Arapahoe. she was the daughter of Talmage H . Tingle and his wife. Beulah M. Rawls . She wa. a .ixth generation descend­&ot of James Tingle and his wife. Elizabeth Rowe. The roota of James Tingle were established in Craven County, N. C . in the early 1760's.

Mrs. Tingle was the m.other of Dixie Tingle Willi., known to dozens of us a. the tireless and indispensable member of our newsletter Ita.fI . We extend our sympathy to Dixie and her family upon the death of this venerable lady of ninety-one years.

* WHICH

• • • • • • * • • * • • * • •

BRANCH OF THE EXTENDED TD"lGLE ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?

FAMILY,*

Mrs. Joan K. Tingle of Valley Center. California. as well as several other readers, has made an excellent lugge.tion. She proposes that we publish in the newsletter the names &Dd addressel of our lublcribers and the name or names of the specific TINGLE family branch in which that sub­scriber il interested. AI your editor I am lomewnat hesitant in doing this without the consent of our readers, even though I think it i. a good idea. I should. add that there are several libraries, genealogical and historical so­cieties On our mailing list. And it il certainly not the intent of the stall to expose our mailing list of one hundred subscribers to solicitation by other sources.

U anyone is opposed to this idea will they pleue write to me and give me their thoughts on the matter? For those who like the idea I alk that they drop me a post card with their na.me and address and the specific family branch of TINGLES in which they are res.arching. Thb list could . then be published in the next issue of TINGLE DESCENDANTS.

SOME TINGLES WHO SERVED IN THE WAR OF 1812

David P. Shaw of Reston, Va. has spent considerable time doing research at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. From microfilm (which is always difficult to read) he completed a list of names taken from indexes to the War of 1812. David says that this is not intended to be a complete listing of all TINGLES who served, but that it is a great way to start this type of research. More information is available by examining original documents conn­ected to enlistments and/or persons. To prove military service, as well as to get details about the SOldier, more research has to be done.

Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During the War of 1812 (microfilm M 602):
