John and his uncle Casper were the first in history to use this name variation. Also spelled as Willingmyer, Willingmeyer and Willingmire. Probably a son of John and Barabara Maag Weilemeyer of Philadelphia.
The following is from family research of and is a crucial element of this family origin:
"In a statement by his widow for pension benefits she stated he was born in Virginia ( a part which is now W. Va.) and his parents both died when he was five years. He was raised by an aunt on his mother's side, (research favorable:Barbara Maag Sievert). He also had an uncle Casper who used the name Winemore and other variations, throughout his life. John used Winemore while he served in the war. After the war Uncle Casper informed John his name was Willingmyre."
At this point, the name Willingmyre originated. There were other variations used such as Willingmyer, Willingmire by the descendants of John but they were uncommon for the most part. He was a cordwainer by profession. He married Mary Ann Fennimore, d/o John and Elizabeth Stevenson Fennimore He and his family were originally buried at the now defunct Odd Fellows cemetery, Phila.
He served in Capt. Trotter's company in the War of 1812. Five of his seven sons served in the Civil War, Daniel was killed at Gettysburg and Samuel died from wounds and is buried at Marietta, Ga.
