Henry Lingo-Revolutionary Patriot
Sadly, little is known of Henry Lingo's early life before the Revolutionary War. Documentation preserved in Henry's military file at the National Archives indicates he was born in Delaware and that he first enlisted into military service in 1775 at Red Stone, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, serving as a private in Captain Van Swearingen‘s company, Colonel Aenas Mackay‘s Pennsylvania regiment for nine months. He re-enlisted the following year, serving again in Van Swearingen's company, and Colonel MacKay's and Daniel Brodhead's Pennsylvania 8th Regiment. He also served in Captain John Clark's company in that same regiment, until his discharge from service September 28, 1783. During his service he fought in the battles of Bound Book, Woodbridge, Piscataway and Paoli, as well as taking part in many skirmishes.
The next recorded account of Henry Lingo's life is in 1796 when he purchased land in what quickly became Jefferson, then Belmont County, Ohio. It is uncertain how long the Lingo family remained in the area. Several sons were purportedly born in Belmont County and daughter, Sarah, married William Ryan in this county in June, 1802.
The time of his move further north in Ohio is unknown but Henry Lingo appears on the 1807 tax list for Trumbull County. The 1808 and 1809 tax lists indicate he resided in Warren Township. However, according to a printed history of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties the Lingo family was settled on their farm in Milton Township by 1813. He was found there on both the 1820 and 1830 census. In 1818 he was awarded a pension of $8.00 per month for his service during the Revolution. Henry remained in Milton Township until his death in 1835.
Henry Lingo was the patriarch of the only Lingo family in the Trumbull, Mahoning and Portage County area of Ohio. Extensive research has shown that every Lingo living within these counties before 1900 is a descendant of Henry and Rebecca Lingo, through one of the seven Lingo sons. The names of all nine Lingo children appear on an application filed shortly after Henry's death that sought arrearages owed from Henry's military pension. The nine Lingo children were Sarah (Mrs. William) Ryan, Eleanor (Mrs. John) McKim, Allen, Joseph, Samuel, Robert, John, Henry (Jr.) and Hamilton.
