John P. Wingo was born in Hamilton Co., Tenn. in March 1842. His parents, Rolin [sic] and Rebecca Wingo, and other members of the family came to Jefferson Co. and settled on a farm about a mile southwest of Ina. The land is now covered by Rend Lake.

Clinton family) John P. is buried at Kirk Cemetery near Ina, as is his wife and his parents. The inscription "Drowned by a Mule" appears on his tombstone, marked his tragic death. After a succession of heavy rains in 1877, John rode out to rescue a heard of swine that was in danger of drowning. He failed to return, and his mule returned riderless.
