Speculation is that he was born out of wedlock (1847) and his father's name was WINGLER. His mother married a DANCY and he took his name. Upon the death of his real father (WINGLER) he inherited some land in Kingfisher Co., OK and he moved to OK to claim it.( somewhere between 1903-1907)

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 Birdie A. NICELY 15 Apr 1903, Greenbrier Co. WV. Birdie was born 06 May 1887, Greenbrier Co. WV; died 19 Jan 1969, Greenbrier Co. WV; was buried , New Salem Church Cemetery, Greenbrier Co. WV. [Group Sheet]
