BIOGRAPHY: Sketch provided by Arthur Gibbony:
BIOGRAPHY: 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).
BIOGRAPHY: Another fact pointing toward this relationship is the report of older Winebrenners in Noble County, Indiana, some descendants of Henry Winebrenner and others, having said that they were related.
BIOGRAPHY: 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.
BIOGRAPHY: He married Catherine Alabaugh, and on 4 July 1817 while living in Blair County, Pennsylvania. Henry their first and only child was born, and eight days later the mother Catherine died. The baby Henry was taken by grandparents.
BIOGRAPHY: 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.
BIOGRAPHY: The marriage records of Montgomery County show that on 24 September 1818, Jacob Winebrenner married Elizabeth Shively, and 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 26 March 1821 was one of these five. He apparently lived near Dayton, and Records of Darke County, Ohio show that he married in that County 17 December 1843 to 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.
BIOGRAPHY: 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.
BIOGRAPHY: Soon after Jacob’s marriage to Elizabeth Shively, his little son Henry by his first marriage came from Pennsylvania to live with them.
BIOGRAPHY: The Records of Montgomery County, Ohio show that a Nancy Winebrenner married Solomon Brown, in 1848, also that Elizabeth Winebrenner married Jonathan Metherd (or Methend?) in 1850, and we believe these may have been daughters of this Jacob Winebrenner.
BIOGRAPHY: Some of the foregoing was obtained from an 1882 History of Noble County, Indiana, and some from many other sources.
