Notes

"removed to Buckingham County, near the "NewStore" in 1771; m. Mch. 11th 1776, Kesia (b. Feb. 1760) daughter of John and Elizabeth (Walker) Jones, from Wales. Anthony Winston was a Member both of the House of Burgesses and the patriot Virginia Convention of 1775, from the County of Buckingham. He was also a Captain in the Army of the Revolution, and a gallant officer. He was the purchaser of Peter Francisco, famous for his feats of valor and strength, whom he released from slavery to allow to enlist in the patriotic army. He was sheriff of Buckingham County for a long series of years. He removed to Davidson Co., Tenn., in the autumn of 1801."

"In 1811 or '12, all of the children of Anthony and Kezia Winston, excepting the two youngest (who remained with their parents in Tennessee,) removed to that locality of Mississippi Territory, which now constitutes Madison County, Alabama.
"In 1813, when the war with the Creek nation commenced, a family council was held in Madison County, to determine which one of the seven brothers, and brothers-in-law should be selected to remain and protect all the families," whilst the other six "went to the war". "William Winston was selected on account of his firmness and prudence to protect the young families." The wives as well as their husbands were in the Council. "John Jones Winston was a Captain and his eldest brother, Anthony, a Lieutenant in his company --- the other five served in the ranks." General Jackson "was the personal friend of all these young men," and bore cheerful testimony to the gallantry of each."

Capt. Anthony Winston, of Hanover, Virginia, a member of the Virginia convention of 1775, and a gallant captain in the Revolutionary Army, lies buried in the old Winston family burying ground just out of Sheffield, Alabama. Vol. xiii, Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage book, states that Anthony Winston was born in Hanover County, Virginia, in 1750, Married Keziah Jones and died in Alabama in 1828. He was a delegate from Buckingham Co., Va. to the convention of 1775; he afterwards served in the militia and rose to the rank of captain. Brewer's Alabama says that he was a colonial officer of 1776 and the owner of the celebrated Portuguese giant, Peter Francisco. Capt. Winston removed first to Tenn. and subsequently settled in Madison Co., Al., about the year 1810. He was a man of marked and elevated character! He died in 1828. He left seven sons, Anthony, John J., William, Joel W., Isaac, Edmund and Thomas J., and two daughters, Mrs John Pettus (Alice Thornton) and Mrs Jesse Jones. Capt Winston was nearly related to Patrick Henry (a first cousin) and distinction is hereditary in the Winston family. He has many honored descendents; one of his grandsons was Governor John Anthony Winston of Sumter, the first native born governor of Alabama! Another Grandson is General Edmund Winston Pettus, now senator in the United States Congress. Another distinguished grandson was the brother of Gen. Pettus, Governor John J. Pettus, the Governor of Mississippi. Other decendents of Capt. Anthony Winston are scattered all over the Southwest, filling honorable positions with credit.
