Shared note

The Mingos came to Pennsylvania from Switzerland (so the story goes). Matthew Mingo's wife (whose name is not known) was said to have been a Native American Indian. I don't know her exact tribe, but it could be either Iroquois or Micmac. There were other Mingo families who settled in Nova Scotia directly from Montebeilard. It is said that the first John Henderson who came from Dumfrieshire, Scotland (on the English border) married a Micmac Indian woman. Their only son, John married Nancy Johnson, the daughter of Matthew and Ann (Ash) Johnson. Matthew was from Northumberland, England and Ann was from Yorkshire, England. There is a story that she was actually Lady Ann Ash, and that Matthew was her coachman with whom she eloped.
