Wesley C. Soles was born in McKeesport in March, 1848 and died there December 2, 1926. It was in this city that he was reared and educated. He learned the carpenter’s trade, and for a time worked with his father. Then, when a lad of nineteen years, he went west to Missouri, then on to Montana where he engaged for a short time in mining work, until he pushed westward to Salt Lake City, Utah. At a time when the west was sparsely settled and by no means entirely safe for the newcomer, he met it fearlessly and courageously, and was even tempted to go further toward the Pacific Coast. He finally put the decision up to a coin, which came up in favor of the East. Thereupon he returned to McKeesport, and here went to work to establish himself in business and found a home for himself. He spent the rest of his days in McKeesport, where he became a prominent factor in the business, social, and political worlds and showed himself to be a character ever strong, shrewd, and just. He became engaged in building work with his father, who later died, leaving the conduct of the business and the care of the family to him. From that time onward, Wesley C. Soles did a large business in building and in selling property, both for residential and for commercial purposes. He it was who laid out the sub-divisions fo the city, and he was also one of the founders of the National Bank of McKeesport and for many years its president. He was one of the owners and promoters of the traction lines of the city. Doing business in different lines, he found much time, in addition, to travel, and saw much in the United States and South America. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was for a time very active in political affairs, a close friend of the late Mathew S. Quay.He married Emma L. Smith, daughter of Thomas and Cynthia (McGraw) Smith, and they had seven children: 1. T.

The business of W. C. Soles Company is now operated by Louis C. and Robert S. Soles. Louis C.

He was appointed sublieutenant for the county in 1781, was a county representative to the General Assembly 2782--84, and became a judge of the county court of common pleas in 1784. Ritchie bought all of GW's land on Millers Run 1 June 1796 for $12,000 (CRUMRINE [2], 483, 859).

THOMAS WINCOLL
ORIGIN: Unknown MIGRATION: 1632 FIRST RESIDENCE: Cambridge REMOVES: Watertown OCCUPATION: Inn keeper. "Thomas Wincoll is allowed by the selectmen to keep the ordinary," 17 September 1649 [WaTR 1:18]. ESTATE: By 10 October 1635 Thomas Wincoll had sold to John Masters a house with seven (or eight) acres in the West End in Cambridge [CaBOP 29, 53]. In the Watertown Inventory of Grants Thomas Wincoll held one parcel: twenty-five acres in the Great Dividend [WaBOP 92]. In the Inventory of Possessions he held seven parcels: homestall of twenty-four acres; three acres of meadow; one acre of meadow in Patch Meadow; twenty acres of upland in the Great Dividend; six acres of plowland in the Further Plain; six acres of Remote Meadow; and ten acres and a half of upland beyond the Further Plain [WaBOP 126-27]. In the Composite Inventory Thomas Wincoll had fourteen parcels: homestall of twenty-four acres; eight acres of planting ground; three acres of meadow in Patch Meadow; one acre of meadow in Patch Meadow; twenty acres of upland being a Great Dividend; six acres of meadow in the Remote Meadows; six acres of plowland in the Further Plain; ten acres and a half of upland beyond the Further Plain; nine acres of upland beyond the Further Plain; fifteen acres of upland being part of a Great Dividend; two acres of meadow in the Remote Meadow; four acres of plowland in the Further Plain; a farm of one hundred and forty-four acres; and a farm of ninety-one acres [WaBOP 40]. The inventory of the estate of "Thomas Wincoll late of Watertown deceased the 10th day of the 4th month 1657" totalled £130 2s., with no real estate included; "the estate is debtor to John Wincoll for the maintenance of his said father in meat, drink & apparel nine years" [MPR 1:124]. Thomas Wincoll and his son John acquired five of the farms laid out in the western part of Watertown. One was granted to Thomas Wincoll as part of his proprietary share, and he purchased the farms of John Finch and John Ellet [MLR 3:22]. BIRTH: By about 1587 based on age at death. DEATH: Watertown 10 June 1657, "Thomas Wincoll aged about seventy years died the tenth of June" [WaVR 1:20]. MARRIAGE: (1) By about 1622 Elizabeth _____; "Elizabeth Winckoll," aged 52, and "Jo[hn] Winckoll," aged 13, sailed for New England in 1635 [Hotten 54]. (2) By an unknown date Beatrix _____. "Beatrix Wincoll wife of Thomas Wincoll died the eleventh of June [1656], aged about eighty years," at Watertown [WaVR 1:18]. CHILD:
With first wifei JOHN, b. about 1622 [Hotten 54]; m. (1) by 1662 Elizabeth _____ (wife Elizabeth consented to several deeds made by John Wincoll from 2 August 1662 to 8 June 1672 [MLR 2:233, 265, 266, 3:30, 23, 6:201]); m. (2) (contract) 29 February 1675/6 Mary Etherington [YLR 4:86]; m. (3) by 16 September 1682 Olive (Coleman) Plaisted, widow of Roger Plaisted [GDMNH 560, citing YLR 8:132].
COMMENTS: On 4 March 1632/3 "Thomas Wincall" was fined 20s. for drunkenness (which might explain why it took so long for him to be authorized to run the ordinary in Watertown) [MBCR 1:103]. The Watertown land records contain three early grants to "John Winkoll": Great Dividend of twenty-five acres, 25 July 1636; three acres in the Beaverbrook Plowlands, 28 February 1636/7; and six acres in the Remote Meadows, 26 June 1637 [WaBOP 5, 7, 10]. In the land inventories, Thomas Wincoll is shown as having been granted this Great Dividend parcel, and as having acquired the Remote Meadows lot, but the Beaverbrook Plowlands lot does not appear. In the Inventory of Possessions there is an entry for John Wincoll, who had acquired five pieces of land, none of them corresponding to the three parcels granted above [WaBOP 127]; all of these parcels appear in the Composite Inventory for Thomas Wincoll [WaBOP 40]. John Wincoll, the son of Thomas Wincoll, was too young to have generated these records. The simplest remaining possibilities are that the John Wincoll acquiring land in Watertown in the mid-1630s was the father or an unmarried brother of Thomas, but given the apparent age of Thomas, his father would have been quite old at the time. There is not sufficient evidence to determine who this John Wincoll was.
Olive Coleman 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 was born 6 in 1628 in Preshute, Wilts, England. She died 7 in York, Maine. She married John Wincoll before 16 Sep 1682.

He owned a lot at Mount Wollaston [Braintree] which he sold by 29 April 1639 to Thomas Matson [BTR 1:40].

CHILDREN:
i JOHN, bp. Boston 31 August 1634 [BChR 279]; no further record.ii ICHABOD, bp. Boston 3 September 1637; no further record.
ASSOCIATIONS: Brother of Samuel Hutchinson and William Hutchinson, brother-in-law of Rev. John Wheelwright and Augustin Storre, and uncle of Edward Rishworth, all of whom came to New England later in the 1630s [NEHGR 20:355-67; GDMNH 367, 588, 666, 743-44]. COMMENTS: On 2 November "Sergeant Hutchinson" (glossed in the margin as "Sergeant Edward Hutchinson") "being convented for having his hand to the seditious libel, justifying the same, & using contemptuous speeches, the Court did disfranchise him, fine him in £40, put him from office, & commit him during the pleasure of the Court" [MBCR 1:207 (immediately following a similar sentence passed on William Baulston, and the fine for both was remitted during the general amnesty of 6 September 1638 [MBCR 1:245])]. On 20 November 1637 he was in the list of those from Boston who were disarmed [MBCR 1:212]. In February 1637/8 William Baulston and "Edw[ard] Hutchinson" were given license to "depart out of this jurisdiction, provided that they submit to the order of the General Court in regard of the censure they lie under" [WP 4:15; see also MBCR 1:223]. (That these records applied to the uncle and not the nephew is confirmed by a record of 12 March 1637/8, in which "Edward Hutchinson, Junior," was ordered to post bound with regard to controlling access to his mother [MBCR 1:225].) So it was after his departure that "John Marshall, husbandman, having served with our brother Mr. Edward Hutchinson," was allowed an inhabitant of Boston, 24 February 1639[/40] [BTR 1:48]. Pope said that this Edward Hutchinson "[p]ossessed considerable wealth and transacted a large amount of business. Acted sometimes for bro. Richard Hutchinson, ironmonger, of London." However, these activities, and many more found in later New England records, belong to his nephew Edward, son of William. This younger Edward came to New England about 1635, resided briefly at Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in 1638 [RICR 1:52, 55, 56], and was back in Boston by 18 February 1638/9 [BTR 1:38]. ("Edward Hutchinson, Jr.," is in the list of freemen attending the General Court of Portsmouth and Newport on 16 March 1640/1 [RICR 1:111], but as there is no other certain record for Edward Jr. in Rhode Island after June 1638, this is more likely intended for Edward Sr.)
Sarah 1 died 2 after 1669 in England. She married Edward Hutchison before 1633.
They had the following children:
M i John Hutchison was christened 1 on 31 Aug 1634 in Boston, Massashusetts. He died . M ii Ichabod Hutchison was christened 1 on 3 Sep 1637 in Boston, Massashusetts. He died .
