Born in Pennsylvania in March 1845, Theodore Jonathan Wint served with the 6th Pennsylvania Cavalry during most of the American Civil War; he joined the mounted service as a Private in February 1865. On November 24 of the same year he was appointed to the Army as Second Lieutenant of the 4th Cavalry. On May 9, 1866 he was promoted to First Lieutenant, to Captain on April 21, 1872. After continuing to gain rank, his final title was Brigadier General on June 9, 1902.
Wint served the United States Army in the American Civil War, American Indian Wars, Spanish–American War and the Philippine–American War. He also served in  China (1900–1901). He was injured in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba when a Mauser bullet broke his thighbone.Wint, along with John D. Miles, selected the site of Fort Reno in Indian Territory in July 1874. Situated on the south side of the North Canadian River five miles west of present-day El Reno, Oklahoma, this fort was established after the Cheyenne uprising of 1874 to protect Darlington Indian Agency (located directly north across the river).Theodore Jonathan Wint married Lydia Porter Bullis in 1880. Dying in Philadelphia in March, 1907, of heart disease, he was buried with full military honors. A train traveled from Philadelphia to Union Station and then proceeded to the cemetery. Lydia is buried nearby and died in 1913. He was scheduled to retire in 1909 and was months away from his final promotion to Major General.
Upon his death William Howard Taft, who was United States Secretary of War at the time, described him as "a quiet man who did things."
Fort Wint in the Philippines was named after him as well as VFW Gen. Theodore J. Wint Post 25 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. A street at Fort Leavenworth is also named after him, Wint Avenue.
