At a court held for Hanover on Thursday 6th day of Mar 1760 the last will of Isaac Winston was presented.

His home in Va was called Laurel Grove Ref1: The Magazine of Va Genealogy,Vol 28 #1 pg3 It is titled "A note on Patrick Henry's Ancestry" Ref2: Book "What does America mean to me" by Evelyn Jeanette Ownby

Patrick Henry's grandfather, Isaac Winston, experienced what the evangelists called, "the new birth" & went with the dissenters, indeed his own conversion helped to ignite the Hanover revival. He had stopped attending the established church, having grown dissatisfied with the "general strain of preaching".

They studied the much-worn pamphlet of printed sermons by the celebrated, George Whitfield "the greatest orator" since the Apostles...

Grandfather Winston allowed itinerant preachers to speak at his home and contributed toward the building of "reading houses" when eager crowds grew to large for his parlor.

For these affronts to the laws regulating religious worship, Isaac Winston had stood before the Hanover magistrates, including his own son-in-law, John Henry to pay fines for "willfully" absenting from church service & stared grimly at his accusers. The Rev. Patrick Henry, the Uncle for whom Patrick Henry was named would not suffer the mischief-makers in silence & with his pen and voice attacked itinerant
preachers so soundly.

When Patrick Henry was 9 years old, George Whitfield came to visit Hanover in Oct. 1745 & would witness the division between his father & uncle and his grandfather Winston & his mother Sarah, also a convert.

In 1747, the Rev. Samuel Davies came to Hanover from Pennsylvania assigned by the Presbyterian Synod to take a regular mission to Virginia & soon had 150 families in two meeting houses, Sarah Henry and her sisters found Davies preaching close to sublime, Young Patrick Henry now entering his teens drove the carriage & on the way home his mother would have him repeat the substance of the sermon.
Thus John Henry stood alienated from his well connected father-in-law.
