Arason WINTERMUTE was born about 1805. He married Virenda WAYLAND on 2 Oct 1828.

Name turned out to be Arason, whereas I had it as Ardson. I received the following confusing notes that I can not unwind as to relationships: "Notes given to Mrs. Anna Wayland Hammon by Arason Wintermute family. Kate Wintermute Williams is daughter of Albert Wintermute. Albert Wintermute is Geo. Wintermute's brother. Kate Wilntermute Williams received this record from Mag Winermute Redman, she being a sister of George and Wellington Wintermute. She is the youngest girl."

Virenda WAYLAND [Parents] ¹ was born on 22 Nov 1807 in , , Virginia. She married Arason WINTERMUTE on 2 Oct 1828.

See notes under Anna Wayland Hammond on some other Wintermute names. Also, she had 12 children with Arason: George W.; Henry Ogden; Sarah J.; Anna M.; Albert Wells; Catharine A.; George Joel Carper; Mary Emily; Wellington Ashfordby; Margaret E.; James Perry; Charles C.

The 1840 Knox Co. Ohio Census shows her living with husband and having two daughters under age 5. The 1850 Ohio Census (County Code MWSO) shows her as widow in her mother's household, Charlotte Conway, age 65 and her two daughters, ages 10 and 13.

The 1880 Howard Co. Missouri Census shows Sarah, age 68, living in the home of her son, John T. Grigsby, age 49, so Thomas is dead by then. He is found in the cemetery with the stone reading "died 19 May 1877, age 71 yr 4 mo 15 da"

The Grigsby's moved from Licking Co., Ohio to Howard Co., MO. around 1840.

Here is his will:

I, Thomas A. Grigsby of Howard County, Missouri, make the following my last Will and Testament. First - I hereby will and declare that Sarah Jane Biswell, wife of Shelton R. Biswell, shall take an equal portion of my estate with my children as if she were one of my children. In all other respects my estate is to be settled and divided according to law. My purpose in

Sarah Ann WAYLAND [Parents] ¹ was born on 17 Sep 1812 in , , Virginia. She died on 13 Oct 1885 in , Howard Co., Missouri and was buried in Smith's Chapel Cem., Fayette, Howard Co., Missouri. Sarah married Thomas Addison GRIGSBY on 15 Apr 1828 in , , Ohio.

Ohio; Verrinda, 17; David D., 15; Albert, 12; Luther, 10; Margaret, 8; Robt., 4 (all of them after James were b. in MO).

Information on Sarah's father, Joel, shows that he moved to Ohio in 1826, and Sarah would
most likely have gone as well, since she was only 14 years old, causing them to have been married in Ohio.

They had the following children:

NOTE: B, p.26

From birth places of children on census, arrived in Missouri from Ohio
some time between 1838 and 1842.

Elizabeth S. WAYLAND [Parents] ¹ was born on 22 Feb 1815 in , , Virginia. She died on 18 Sep 1878 in Junction City, Lane Co., Oregon. Elizabeth married John PITNEY on 27 Mar 1834 in , , Ohio.

Family info. from Bill Pitney, 2641 S.E. 75th Ave., Portland OR 97206.

Bill Pitney says that she died a horrible death when her clothing caught on a vertical shaft in a grain warehouse and she was beaten to death, as she was whirled around inside the shaft. She had gone to the warehouse to see two of the employees, a neighbor and her son, William McClure Pitney, the grandfather of the above reference. He also sent me copies of an old photo of Elizabeth and husband and family, and also her son William Pitney and his family. Elizabeth immigrated to Oregon with John Pitney in 1853, one of the pioneer families, and the Pitneys have lived there since.

They had the following children:

Albert WAYLAND [Parents] ¹ was born on 26 May 1817 in , , Virginia. He died after 1850 in , Howard Co., Missouri. Albert married Margaret B. SMARR on 25 Mar 1841 in , Howard Co., Missouri.

He is shown as "Alfred" on 1850 census at:

https://sites.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mo/howard/census/1850/134a.gif (& 134b.gif)

Apparently died between 1855 and 1860 as his widow is shown in the 1860 census with the youngest child being age 4. In the 1870 census, she is living with son Joseph.

Ancestry.com marriage records has "Isman, Margaret E. married Wayland, Albert on 25 Mar 1841 in Howard County, Missouri." I don't know why her name is given as different for same marriage date. Perhaps she was a widow.

Margaret B. SMARR was born about 1824 in , , Virginia. She died after 1860. Margaret married Albert WAYLAND on 25 Mar 1841 in , Howard Co., Missouri.

NOTE: B, p.44,89. In January of 1993, I rec'd a letter from Robert L. Smarr, 600 S. Garth Ave., Columbia, MO 65203-3484, phone: 314-442-2525. He said that he was descended from Margaret's brother, John Henry Smarr, and said that his line goes back to Reuben Smarr, son of John Smarr of Virginia.

But, see note under Albert about her name.
