13. | Eve Wintemute was born in 1779 in Ontario, Canada (daughter of John\Johannes Wintemute and Mary Decker \ Windecker); died on 2 Feb 1852 in Roscoe, IL. Notes:
Named as Eve Strawn in the will of her father. An Order in Council dated 25 February 1812 names her as wife of Joab Strawn of Humberstone and daughter of John Wintemute. I am indebted to Dr George E. McCracken of Des Moines, Iowa, Editor of
"The American Genealogist" for the following information. Joab was a son of John Strawn (Jacob Lancelot) by his wife Kezia Dennis. John and Kezia were married in April 1770 at the Richland Meeting of Friends, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and
they subsequently settled in Greene County, Pennsylvania. Several of their children moved to Welland County, Ontario. Joab and later his family lived in Humberstone for some years but later moved to the London District. They subsequently
moved to Roscoe, Illinois, where Eve died 11 February 1852 and Joab died 30 September 1854.
Bob Moore says that she is a child of Mary Sipes.
