The Jacques and McLaughlin Families are historically important in Orange County New York. John Jacques Sr. (1790-1876) operated a boot factory from 1818 to 1837. In 1835 he planted his first vineyard and produced his first wine in 1839. In 1859 he gave his business over to his two sons and the Jaques brothers continued the operation of the winery through 1886. Now known as the Brotherhood Winery, it is the oldest winery in the United States. Devoted to making sacramental and medicinal spirits, they continued operation even during prohibition. John Jacques' Sr. daughter Sarah married Nathan McLaughlin and their son Edward J. McLaughlin I opened a General Store in Washingtonville in 1879. Edward McLaughlin II married Helen Burnett whose grandfather was the last American Revolutionary War officer and Society of Cincinnati original member. Many of the items from the Jacques and McLaughlin families remain intact and were passed on to Joan and Edward McLaughlin III.
