A biosketch of son Henry reports [14]:
Henry Winebrenner is the only child of Jacob and Catharine (Alabaugh) Winebrenner; he was born in Blair County, Penn., July 4, 1817. When but eight days old his mother died, and he went to live with his grandparents. His father was a shoemaker, and shortly after his wife's death moved to Liberty, Montgomery County, Ohio. He here married Elizabeth Shively in 1827, who bore him five children. Mr. Winebrenner also kept tavern, and being a veteran of the War of 1812 and of a military turn of mind, raised a company of militia and was chose first lieutenant. Soon after his father's second marriage, Henry Winebrenner went to live with them; and at age of fourteen was apprenticed to the tailor's trade. After serving four years, he commenced business for himself. In May, 1837, he married Lucy Edsall of Darke County, Ohio, and in 1850 came to Noble County and located on his present farm of 80 acres, which was devoid of clearing, and its present improved condition was accomplished by hard manual labor. They are the parents of nine children - Lewis, James, John, William, Norris, Howard, Oscar, Juliann and Elizabeth. Of these, John and Elizabeth are dead. John enlisted in the Forty-fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry and served his country faithfully. At the battle of Petersburg he was wounded, taken prisoner and never heard of afterward. James served in Company C, Eighty-eighth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry. While out foraging, he was taken prisoner by the rebel Gen. Morgan. Being pressed by pursuers, Gen. Morgan paroled his prisoners and they were sent back until exchanged. Mr. Winebrenner is an industrious, enterprising man, and a Republican. He and wife are members of the Christian Church and are esteemed citizens. Green Twp.
A biosketch reported [15]:
Jacob Winebrenner was born about 1797 in Pennsylvania (or possibly Maryland), and grew up in Blair County, Pennsylvania. The writer believes that Jacob was a son of Christian Winebrenner's first marriage, and one of those ten children reported by many of the descendants. This belief seems to be given support by the will of Christian Winebrenner of Blair County (a copy of which the writer has), in which Jacob is listed as the second child of the first marriage. The will lists four sons and three daughters, which may have been all that were living at the time the will was drawn (1833).
Another fact pointing toward this relationship is the reported statements of older Winebrenners in Noble County, Indiana, of Henry Winebrenner descendants and the others, that they were related.
Jacob probably died at the village of Liberty, near Dayton, Ohio, where he lived for some years, but no information as to the date of his death or place of his burial has been found.
He married Catherine Alabaugh, and on July 4, 1817, while living in Blair County, Pennsylvania, Henry, their first and only child was born. Eight days later the mother, Catherine, died. The baby Henry was taken by grandparents.
Jacob was a shoemaker and shortly after the death of his wife Catherine he went to Ohio, locating at the village of Liberty in Montgomery County, near what is now Dayton.
The marriage records of Montgomery County show that on September 24, 1818, Jacob Winebrenner married Elizabeth Shively. The History of Noble County, Indiana tells the same, then adds that there were five children of this marriage, but we have been unable to find anything definite about any of these children. However, we suspect that an Isaac Winebrenner who was born March 26, 1821, was one of these five. He apparently lived near Dayton, and Records of Darke County, Ohio show that he married in that county on December 17, 1843, Sarah Clear and later moved to Wabash County, Indiana. Still later to Whitley County, Indiana and died near Churubusco. A fairly good record of this group, the descendants of Isaac, has been assembled.
At Liberty, Ohio, Jacob Winebrenner kept a tavern, and being a veteran of the War of 1812, and of a military turn of mind, raised a Company of Militia (we presume Home or State Guards), with him as First Lieutenant.
Soon after Jacob's marriage to Elizabeth Shively, his little son, Henry, by his first marriage, came from Pennsylvania to live with them.
The Records of Montgomery County, Ohio show that a Nancy Winebrenner married Solomon Brown in 1848, and that Elizabeth Winebrenner married Jonathan Metherd in 1850. We believe these may have been daughters of this Jacob Winebrenner.
A different (perhaps) Jacob Winebrenner lived in Wooster, Ohio.
1840 Jacob Winebrenner lived in Wooster, Wayne County, Ohio in a household with Males: 1 (age Under 5), 1 (age 5 thru 9), 2 (age 15 thru 19), and 1 (age 40 thru 49); Females: 1 (age Under 5), 1 (age 15 thru 19), 1 (age 20 thru 29), and 1 (age 30 thru 39). [16]
1843 Eliza Winebrenner, executor, recorded an inventory, appraisement, and sale of the estate items for Jacob Winebrenner, of Wayne County, Ohio, deceased. Dated May 17. Calvin J Winebrenner and John P Winebrenner purchased items at the sale.
1848 Solomon Brown and daughter Nancy Winebrenner were married on October 11 in Montgomery County, Ohio. (FHL film 001030835). [17]
1860 Daughter Nancy Brown (age 29, born in Ohio) lived in Jefferson Twp, Montgomery County, Ohio, in a household with Solomon Shank (49), William Fulford (40), Solomon Brown (), Elizabeth Brown (7), Sarah Brown (6), Amanda Brown (5), and Ira Brown (1). [18]
