J. F. Wingo from History of Texas pg. 374

"J. F. Wingo, of Clarkton, Milam County, Texas, a substantial farmer and leading citizen, dates his residence in the county since 1877. Prior to that, Robertson County was his home for four years, he had lived near Calvert, in that county. His native state is Georgia, his birth ocurring February 8, 1844. His father, Allen Wingo, was born in South Carolina, about 1807. He was reared on a plantation in that state, educated very little, and at twenty-five, before marriage, emigrated to Alabama, taking up his residence in Barbour County, later in Loundes and Montgomery, dying in the latter in 1872. He was a member of Hilliard's Legion, in the Confederate Army, and saw hard service around Atlanta and Lookout Mountain, and was taken prisoner at Richmond, Kentucky, while on detail duty driving a wagon. He was at once paroled and sent home, and did not again enter the service. The grandfather of our subject was born in Spartanburg district, South Carolina, about 1789, and lived and died there, having been a farmer all his life. The mother of our subject was named, in her maidendays Sarah Haynes; she was a daughter of John Haynes, a hatter by trade. The resulting family are: John, deceased; Thomas J.; Mary, who married Ed. Depew; Julia, who died in Houston County, the wife of T. W. Cuilerfer; Martha, who died in Robertson County; Bettie, who died in Barbour County, Alabama; Maggie, who married Ed. DePew of Cameron; and Willen Allen, who lives in Milan County, Texas.

In 1862 our subject enlisted in Company C, Eighth Alabama Cavalry, under Colonel Livingston. The command was one of those lucky ones which was nearly always in some skirmish or fight, constantly trying the mettle of the true soldier. Our subject participated in the Atlanta campaign and was at Franklin, Tennessee; Oklona, Mississippi; Demopolis and Mobile, Alabama; and Pensacola, Florida. He was paroled at Montgomery, Alabama, by General Steele in May 1865. Mr. Wingo did not leave his father's roof until he was twenty-seven years old. He engaged in agricultural pursuits, but up to the period of his coming to Texas he had not accumulated much. The trip west was made by water to Galveston by way of New Orleans. The first stop in Milan County was made near Jones Prairie, where our subject rented land for four years, but in 1891 he purchased 100 acres of his present farm, and his prosperity has made additional investments possible until 310 acres of fine Texas soil are accredited to him on the county tax roles, and 125 acres are in a good state of cultivation, producing in 1891 fifty-two bales of cotton, and in 1892, fourty bales. Mr. Wingo also owns a one-third interest in a Gin, built in 1885, at an outlay of $88 by our subject. Mr. Wingo believes in raising every article of consumption for the farmer, if possible. Politically, he is a Democrat, but does not belong to the office-seeking kind, having held no office save that of school trustee. In December, 1873, Mr. Wingo married Mary Jane, the daughter of John Sharp, an Alabama farmer who was born in Alabama and lived and died in that state. In September, 1875, Mrs. Wingo died, and in December, 1878, the second marriage of our subject was consummated with Mrs. Mary Lou Nicholson, a daughter of Daniel Moore, of Georgia, who had been a pioneer to Texas. Mr. Moore married Miss Annie Allday, and reared two children, of whom Mrs. Wingo is the older and the only living one. The family of Mr. Wingo is as follows: Frank, Mary Eugenia, David Allen, Annie, Charlie, Clinton, Eva, James Calvin and Alma. Mr. Wingo is connected to the Little River Masonic Lodge, and the family are members of the Methodist Church."
