Bob Minugh submitted these possible updates to page 4 of Isaac Winans' section of Winans Family Genealogy:
| 1-9-1-3-4 | ABIGAIL WINANS. It is likely she is the Abigail Winants who married William Minugh 9 Oct 1787 in Trinity Church, New York, NY. William later married Maria Christina Raden 31 Jan 1798 in Trinity Church. Their children's names were:
|
Bob tells us that all four of Abigail and William's children were baptised in Trinity Church and that witnesses included Rachel Winans and Isaac Winans. According to Bob, who lives in Hawaii, "William Minugh and his brother John were harbor pilots in NYC and involved in sailing ships. William remarried in 1798, so I believe Abigail died between 1795-1797, but I have no record of her death." There are numerous references to Minugh on the World Wide Web. I located a Minugh Family Page, maintained by one of Bob's cousins, which apparently no longer exists.
The mention of Charles Chipp above caught the eye of Rena D'Andrea, who called our attention to LT Charles Winans CHIPP, Executive Officer of USS Jeannette during the ill-fated Arctic expedition mentioned elsewhere in these pages. The naval officer is one of several men bearing that name in the history of the Chipp family, which came to America from England in the 18th century and settled in New York City and in Kingston, NY. An entire chapter of The Chipp family in England and America, Charles Howard Burnett, Los Angeles, 1933, is devoted to LT Chipp, who is said to have been born 23 Aug 1848 in Kingston, the son of Warren Chipp and Elizabeth Graham Burnett. The chapter closes with the statement:
The name of Charles Winans Chipp is still well known to all students of Arctic exploration, and a river in northernmost Alaska has been named "Chipp River" in his honor.
Burnett's book lists a Charles Chipp (1785-1831) who married a Rachel Mineaux. This may be the couple mentioned by Bob above.
We welcome additional information on the Winans-Chipp connection.

Coe is a surname which occurs frequently in the early history of Miami county, Ohio. Glen Winans called our attention to Joseph G. Coe's biography, which appears on pages 320-321 of Robert Coe, Puritan, His Ancestors and Descendants, 1340-1910, published privately in 1911 by Joseph Gardner Bartlett, and available online through Google Books.
| 1-8-6-3-2 | SARAH JANE WINANS b 13 Aug 1798 in Essex Co., N. J. d in Riverside, Wash. Co., Iowa md 23 May 1815 in Troy, Ohio Joseph Gibbons Coe. |
Although I am not actively researching the Coes, I felt the following information on this family from Bartlett's book, which supplements Sarah Jane'S entry on page 4 of Jacob Winans' section in Winans Family Genealogy, was interesting, and important, in view of the Coes' connections with the Winans and other early Ohio settlers:
317. JOSEPH GIBBENS73 COE (Joseph6 (159), Elder Joseph5, Elder Joseph4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, Robert1), born in Washington Co., Pa., Jan. 8, 1796, became a pioneer farmer, and in early life removed to Piqua, Miami Co., Ohio, where he remained until about 1830; during the next ten years he lived at South Bend, Ind., St. Joseph, Mo., and Iowa City, Ia.; and about 1840 he finally located at Riverside, Ia., where he d. Nov. 9, 1855. During the War of 1812 he was a soldier under Gen. Harrison, and for many years his widow drew a pension for his services.
He married in 1816, SARAH WINANS, born August 13, 1798, daughter of a New Jersey soldier of the Revolution; she died at Riverside, Ia., in Aug., 1883.
