Bio. of William C. Mings
Hist. of Laclede, Camden, Dallas, Webster, Wright, Texas, Pulaski,
Phelps and Dent Cos., MO, pp 1187-1188, Goodspeed.
Co. William C. Mings, of Montgomery Twp, Wright Co., MO, was born in Madison
Co., KY, on the Kentucky River, Dec. 17, 1831, son of George Wolfscale and
Polly (Kanatzar) Mings. The paternal grandfather was born in Charleston, SC,
April 10, 1754 and was one of the poineers of KY. He was married in NC, and
died in IL April 14, 1849. He was a Rev. soldier; was at the battle of
Brandywine, and received a pension from the Government for services rendered.
The great-grandfather was born in Scotland, but immigrated to America, and
was with the colonial soldiers at Braddock's defeat. He had three sons:
Joseph, Alexander and James. George W. Mings was born in Wayne Co., KY,
July 16, 1806, grew to manhood in KY and TN, was married in Madison Co., KY
and was by trade a hatter, although he followed agricultural pursuits prin-
cipally. He immigrated to IL, then back to KY, then to MO, afterward to AR,
but finally settled in MO in 1861. He died at the residence of his son
Dec. 26, 1886. He volunteered to go to the Mexican War, but his company was
not called. His wife, Pollie (Kanatzar) Mings, was born in KY in May 1810 and
is still alive and resides with her son. They were the parents of eleven
children, four now living. Col. William C. Mings went to AR with his father
in 1849, and there attained his majority. He cast his first presidental vote
for Gen. Winfield Scott, and was married Dec. 21, 1854 to Miss Nancy A. Neel,
who was born in TN March 7, 1832. Her people came from NC to TN and her
grandfather was a natvie of Ireland. Col. W.C. Mings came to MO Aug. 10, 1861,
joined the Rangers, and afterward the Tenth Missouri Cavalry. He was a non-
commissioned officer, and rendered effective and valuable service. He was at
one time a candidate for Congress in this district, and previous to the War
held several prominent offices in the State of AR. He has held the office of
commissioner, assessor, justice of the peace, and has been postmaster at
Mingsville, which was named for him. He served two terms of four years each
as county surveyor and eight years as notary public. He has 235 acres of land,
and his farm is well stocked. He has five children living: Margaret E.,
George W., Joseph W., William R., John W., and James, who died at the age of
four years. During the war Mr. Mings was elected colonel of a regiment then
being organized, but refused to serve.
