Gradually acquired multiple land parcels in Fairfield and Perry Co.'s over the next 15 years, which were bequeathed to his six surviving sons and one grandson. (Will Book 2, p. 306, Fairfield Co.

Herbert Winegardner was 6 ft. and some inches tall, blue eyes, rather slim build, light hair when young, was yery pleasant and kind, a very thrifty man [who] had plenty to help others with. He kept tavern at '[Hudsons] Cross Roads' in Shenandoah Co. prior to 1806. Had a farm of 160 acres which he sold and moved to Ohio in 1806 [sic]--his near neighbor in Virginia was Mr. Morehead.
In Ohio Herbert Winegardner had two distilleries, three grist mills, [and] two saw mills all going at same time and giving employment to more than a hundred men. They made three hundred barrels of whiskey (or Leignor), Apple Jack, Peach brandy, [and] Rum. Cherry brandy was 25 cts. per gallon. Also alcohol. They raised flax and wove their own linen. Also the woolen goods was raised, spun & wove on the home place.
Herbert Winegardner Jr.'s plantation was about two miles from the town of Rushville, Fairfield Co., Ohio. This homestead contained eighteen hundred acres at above date [18301, and in 1880 was twenty eight hundred acres, having been added to by the thrifty sons and daughters of which there were thirteen in number. Mr. Winegardner served in the War of the Revolution [not as a soldier but as a Patriot; he is listed in the D.A.R. Patriot Index] and often laughed about the price he paid at that time for one quart of Buttermilk $40.00 in Continental money.
