I am searching for parentage information on James Marion Dancy Wingler. He was born ca 1846,47 in Ashe Co NC, probably an illegimate child. . It is supposed that he was raised by a Dancy, but his father was actually a Wingler, but I have no proof of this. Another supposition is that his mother was a Dancy, or his mother was a Wingler and his real father a Dancy. Any one with any information, it would be greatly appreciated. I haven't had any luck at finding James on the 1850 Ashe Co census, but I don't know who he might have been living with.

I am trying to determine the parentage of James Marion Dancy (Wingler). He was born in NC, supposedly Ashe Co, or possibly Wilkes, died in Greenbrier Co WV and is buried under the name JM Wingler, next to his first wife of the name Sarah Emaline(Garret)(Nelson)Dancy. His children were all named Dancy. He is believed to have been my g-g-grandfather, though some amount of secrecy seems to surround him, I can't find anything that might point to his parents or why he moved to WV. My g-grandfather, Frank Dancy left home at 17, and never went back, and from all accounts never mentioned his family, so Frank's living son's have no idea who their grandparents or great grandparents were. I appreciate any help I might recieve.

James married Sarah Emeline GARRETT. Sarah was born Jun 1833, Virginia; died 7 Feb 1903, Greenbrier Co. WV; was buried 8 Feb 1903, McMillion Chapel, Greenbrier Co. WV. [Group Sheet]
