John Wing
Son of Daniel Wing & Hannah Swift

John Wing was born November 14, 1656 at Sandwich, Barnstable, Massachusett to Daniel Wing and Hannah Swift. John died August 1, 1717 at the age of 61 at Rochester, Massachusetts. John received a mare foal to share with his brother Samuel Wing in the will of his grandmother, Joan Swift. John also witnessed the Indian Treaty at Pemaquid on August 11, 1694 (Doc Hist.x11)

John Wing married Martha Spooner about 1683. Martha was the daughter of William Spooner and Hannah Pratt and she was born about 1658. John Wing and Martha lived in the part of Sippican that is now Rochester, Massachusetts. John was a cooper (barrell maker) and was pominent in the early political affairs of Rochester. He was at different times, sealer of weights and measurers, overseer of highways, and served as selectman for four terms.

Martha Spooner Wing married John Davol after John Wing died. It was probably a marriage of companionship more than anything else. Martha was about 59 when John Wing died, so quite naturally Martha and John Davol never had children together.
