Notes

"MARCUS BRUTUS WINCHESTER, b 28 May 1796, at Cragfont near Gallatin, TN. Marcus was educated in Maryland and entered the Army as a young man of about seventeen. He served as aide to his father, Gen James Winchester, and was captured with him at the River Raisin in 1813. They were imprisoned in Quebec, Canada, and released after six weeks.

In 1819 Marcus established the first store in Memphis, TN, a town which had been founded through the efforts of Judge Overton of Nashville, General Andrew Jackson and Marcus' father, James Winchester. Marcus served as agent for the three owners and was largely responsible for the early growth of the city. He served as the city's first postmaster for 22 years beginning in 1823, and was the city's first mayor, serving from 1827 to 1829.

In 1851, Marcus was elected to the state legislature. His picture appeared in the Memphis "City Directory" of 1855/56. Marcus was a well respected businessman and known for his hospitality and generosity. In Memphis, A Folk History, author Linton Weeks writes of a local story about an 1825/26 boat wreck near Memphis. One of the passengers was Davey Crockett who, having been asleep when the boat broke up, came ashore naked. Marcus Winchester provided him with a suit of clothes from his store.

It is believed that Marcus married Mary about 1823, at which time his father had presented him with a "deed of gift". Mary was known in Memphis as generous and gracious. Walter Durham, in his book, James Winchester, Tennessee Pioneer, describes Marcus and Mary as "sensitive to the plight of non-whites" and states that they formed a "lasting friendship with Francis Wright, the Scottish reformer who came to Memphis in 1824 to establish the experimental community Nashoba." Marcus and Mary so respected Mrs Wright that they named a child for her and another child for Mrs Wright's friend Robert Owen who had started the New Harmony community in Indiana. Mary Winchester is said to have died on 19 Aug 1839.

In Nashville, Davidson Co, TN, on 17 Aug 1842, Marcus married the widowed Mrs Lucy Lenore/Leonora Ferguson McLean (b ca 1823, KY, d 1860, Shelby Co Will Bk 3-E, p291) who reportedly was a loving mother to Marcus' children.

Land records of Crittenden Co, AR, show that Marcus Winchester purchased in 1837, several sections of land totalling 1600 acres, most on 21 Aug 1837; 1120 acres in several sections, 28 Jul 1838; 151.7 acres in 1839; 89 acres in 1842; 160 acres in 1846; 482 acres in 1849; and 43 acres in 1850. Marcus may have sold some of this property during those same years, but those records have not been checked. Several of his children eventually settled in this same county.

Marcus suffered the first of two strokes in Jan 1852 but seemed to have made a good recovery. The second stroke occurred on 29 Oct 1856 and resulted in his death on 3 Nov 1856 (will dtd 25 May 1850 with codicil dtd 30 Oct 1856, proven Feb & May terms, 1857). His sensitivity was once again demonstrated in the codicil which directed the executors to secure emancipation for his slaves Harry & Betsey. Marcus was buried on a plot of land deeded for use as a cemetery to the city of Memphis in 1828 by its founders, Overton, Jackson and Winchester. The last burial there was in 1874. A new cemetery had been established and the old Winchester Cemetery fell into disrepair, its stones broken and scattered. In later years, the area had a street (High St) cut through it, city stables built over a part of it, and a rail line built through it. Citizens protested and eventually a city park was established there.
