3504	The Dictionary of National Biography (DNB) is a standard work of reference with articles on more than 29,000 notable figures from British history. It was originally published in 63 volumes between 1885 and 1900, by Smith, Elder & Co.	Source (S1457)
3505	The earliest known records of a WINSTON in Virginia, is a William WINSTON in two York County records in 1666 - in a land grant on 24 Aug, and as a witness to a will on 21 Sep. There are no further records of him in York County, and no known records to allow determination of a relationship to the William WINSTON I, married to Sarah in New Kent County, whose earliest record is in 1685, nineteen years later. On 16 Oct 1685, William WINSTON I and two others were granted 1500 acres on Mangohick Creek, presently in King William County, by the Pamunkey Indian Council. However the two counties are very close to each other, and the possibility exists that they are the same person. Also, there are no known records to allow determination of the ancestral home in England of the WINSTON(s) that immigrated to Virginia in the 1600s. At the time of his death, William WINSTON I had amassed over 7,600 acres of land grants from the Virginia colony in New Kent County and in King and Queen County. The areas in these counties later became Hanover County and King William County respectively. His holdings may have been greater from land purchases from other individuals, but these records in both counties have been lost to fires. - W. Winston COCHRANE IV, 2013	WINSTON, William Sr. (I3023)

It is ordered therefore that the s'd Wm. Turner shall have the help of tithables as formerly hath been & followeth viz- Sam'l Wady, Thom. Glass, Will Winston, Robert Anderson, Charles Fleming."	WINSTON, William Sr. (I3023)
3507	The estimated date is based on the first record of Nicholas in Virginia, a grant from Governor Richard BENNETT of a patent for 300 acres on the southeast side of the Corrotoman River on 4 July 1653 in Lancaster County, Virginia. This grant was based on headrights for 6 persons transported to Virginia.	MERYWETHER, Nicholas Sr. (I216)

3509	The first Virginia Convention met in the Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg from 1-6 August, and elected Virginia's delegates to the first Continental Congress in Philadelphia, which included Patrick HENRY. "PROCEEDINGS of VIRGINIA "At a meeting of the freeholders of Hanover county, at the courthouse, on Wednesday the 20th of July, 1774, the following ADDRESS was agreed to.

3511	The following announcement was in The Atchison Daily Globe: "A pretty, old fashion wedding occurred at the home of Marion Andrews, near Sugar Lake, last night when his niece, Miss Amy St. John, of Mound City, was married to W. W. Cochrane, city salesman for the McPike Drug Co. At 7:15, the bridal couple walked out under the trees in front of the house, where in the presence of relatives and friends, the Rev. J. H. Comer, of the Baptist church of Atchison, performed the marriage ceremony. "The bride wore a pretty white wedding dress. After the ceremony, a super was given to the guests, such as only Missourians can cook: fried chicken, ham, hot biscuits, cake, pies and ice cream. Long tables were spread in the house and most of the guests sat down at the same time. The bride's father is not living. Her mother, Mrs. Van Winkle, of Mound City, and a number of her girl friends from there attended the wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Cochrane returned from the Andrews home this morning and will reside in the Cochrane home on North Third Street."	Family: COCHRANE, William Winston Jr. / ST. JOHN, Amy (F6)

And not discharging them of the said taxation they shall pay them nothing.   Unto Margery my servant five shillings sterling.   I declare that I have two obligations of Cornelius De Neme, one of one hundred pounds which is paid, but the other of one hundred and twenty five pounds is in force and is due to me.   Made in the City of London the eighteenth day of September 1601 Subscribed in the presence of Jeromme Lopez Pompilio, Gaetani Henry Valesi, William Parkyns. May 3, 1602. Letters of Administration granted to Joan Taliaferro the relict of the said deceased.   Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 29 Montague.	TALIAFERRO, Bartholomew Sr. (I4946)
3513	The funeral record for William's son, William Alfred RABE, lists the father's name as William Augustus RABE. However William's wedding announcement and marriage license with Elizabeth RAE CLAXTON list his name as William Alfred RABE, which I assume to be correct. - WW COCHRANE IV	RABE, William Alfred Sr. (I54)
3514	The future town of Newcastle was to be built by William MERIWETHER on this property in 1738.	MERIWETHER, Col. William Sr. (I212)
3515	The future town of Newcastle was to be built by William MERIWETHER on this property in 1738.	CRAWFORD, Capt. David Sr. (I3725)
3516	The grant states that this is the land "on which said Winston dwells", being a part of a patent granted to Moses DAVIS together with a parcel of land purchased by said WINSTON of David CRAWFORD, adjoining the lands of John  LEWIS, David CRAWFORD and George PHILLIPS. This land is now in St. Paul's Parish, created in 1704, and in Hanover County, created in 1720, It is located on the south side of the Pamunkey River near the colonial town of Newcastle, which was plotted in 1738 and died out circa 1811. Newcastle was just southeast of where present day highway US 360 crosses the river. The progression of ownership of this WINSTON "homestead" was as follows: William WINSTON I - acquired by land grant, 1687 Anthony WINSTON, Sr. - inherited from his father circa 1703 William "Carpenter" WINSTON - inherited from his father circa 1718 John SYME II - purchased from William "Carpenter" WINSTON, a cousin of SYME's mother, Sarah WINSTON, circa 1768 John SYME III - Mildred Meriwether SYME -	Family: WINSTON, William Sr. / —?—, Sarah (F1193)
3517	The home was built on the +15,000 acres of land he acquired through his marriage to the widow Mildred THORNTON MERIWETHER. This land was originally granted to Nicholas MERIWETHER II, and passed on to his son, William MERIWETHER, Sr., and then to his son, Nicholas MERIWETHER "The Younger", Mildred THRONTON's first husband. During the American Revolution, on 3 June 1781, British General CORNWALLIS and his troops were camped on the North Anna River in Hanover County. Learning that Virginia Governor Thomas JEFFERSON and the Virginia legislature had moved to Charlottesville after the capitol in Richmond had been attacked, CORNWALLIS sent Lt. Col. Banastre TARLETON with 250 men to capture JEFFERSON, Patrick HENRY and other notable Virginia leaders of the Revolution at Charlottesville. They expected to cover the 70 miles in 24 hours, marching through the night. Jack JOUETT, a Captain in the Virginia militia, detected their march near Louisa during the night, and correctly guessed their intentions. Knowing that Charlottesville was not protected by any troops, he rode through the night by back roads to reach Charlottesville and warn them. TARLETON and his troops arrived at Dr. WALKER's Castle Hill plantation at dawn. The story is told, which may or may not be entirely true, that Dr. Walker and his wife prepared a large breakfast for TARLETON in order to delay him for several hours and give JEFFERSON more time to escape. In any event, Capt. JOUETT did reach Monticello at 4:30 am to warn JEFFERSON, and then proceeded the additional 2 miles to Charlottesville to warn the legislators, who fled and reconvened in Staunton, VA three days later. Because of his heroics, JOUETT is known as "Paul Revere of the South".	Family: WALKER, Dr. Thomas Jr. / THORNTON, Mildred (F318)
3518	The homestead of Robert's daughter, Lucy Jane, was raided and looted by the Indians in 1760.	Family: HOLSTON, Stephen / LOONEY, Lucy Jane (F824)
3519	The indictment is documented as No. 2017c in the District Court of the United States for the District of New Jersey during the April Term, 1943. After sentencing, the judge praised the FBI saying in part, "As to the investigative work, if I am any judge as to how the case was prepared, the convictions were produced largely through their efforts." An internal FBI Office Memorandum stated, "It is the feeling of myself and the Supervisors on German matters that the praise recieved by the bureau from Judge Meaney is due in no small part to the investigative activities of SA [Special Agent] Cochrane, as well as his demeanor during the course of the trial and his assistance in the preparation thereof." One of the prosecuting attorneys also stated that she had collabrated with him for 8 months in preparation, admiring his efficiency and conscientiousness, contributing very substantially to the success of the case. He recieved an increase in pay and a personal letter of recognition from the FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover, for his meritorious work on the case.	COCHRANE, William Winston III (I5)
3520	The island, approximately 40 acres, is located about 7 miles above the falls of the James River at Richmond, and is now called Williams Island. Rebecca BOBBY WINSTON and Elizabeth BOBBY BALFOUR were sisters.	WINSTON, Major William "Essex" III (I297)
3521	The land was adjacent to land owned by Thomas STUBBLEFIELD and Thomas COCKE. The Deed was originaly registered in February 1826.	STUBBLEFIELD, Dr. George Random Sr. (I4313)
3522	The land was originally patented by Andrew KINKEAD, and was adjacent to land owned by Thomas STUBBLEFIELD. The Deed was originally registered in February 1826.	STUBBLEFIELD, Dr. George Random Sr. (I4313)
3523	The last record of Sarah, as the "Widow WINSTON", is in a listing of New Kent County land owners in the 1719 Processioners' Reports in St. Paul's Parish Vestry Book and Register. This area became Hanover County in 1720. - W. Winston COCHRANE IV, 2013	—?—, Sarah (I3161)
3524	The location of his residence was in Yourk County until 1651 when Gloucester County was created from a portion of York County.	TALIAFERRO, Robert Sr. (I4034)
3525	The Loyal Company of Virginia was formed on 12 July 1749 by Dr. WALKER, Peter JEFFERSON (father of Thomas JEFFERSON), several MERIWETHERs and THORNTONs, and other notable Virginians, to survey 800,000 acres of land west of the Allegany Mountains in order to petition for land grants. Dr. WALKER was selected to lead the expedition because he had previously explored the area two years earlier. He kept a detailed journal of the trip [http://www.tngenweb.org/tnland/squabble/walker.html] in which he gives the names to several landmarks and waterways, among them the Cumberland Gap and Cumberland River.	WALKER, Dr. Thomas Jr. (I729)
3526	The lynching received coverage in newspapers nation wide.	CLAXTON, William Henry Sr. (I146)
3527	The marriage on 5 Nov 1912 was performed by the Rev. J. M. MEALER, and witnessed by the bride's mother, Mrs. James RAE, and by Dr. Julia WASHBURN (relationship unknown). Based on their son's birth on 13 Jan 1913, Elizabeth was 7 months pregnant when married. Two days after the marriage a newspaper article listed them as having received a marriage license. About 3 weeks later another article stated that they were married in May 1912, apparently an attempt to cover up the timing of the pregnancy. The article also stated that Luther was from Boston, MA, but I think this was a further attempt to glamorize the marriage because there is no information that he was ever near Boston. His US Army records state that he was born in Tennessee and stationed in Somerset, KY at the time of the marriage. According to the court divorce documents, Elizabeth and Luther had a prior separation from Jun 1914 until 9 Feb 1915 while he lived in Somerset, KY and she returned to live with her parents in Lexington, KY. While living in Lexington on 6 Apr 1919, they separated permanently after Luther slapped Elizabeth during an arguement. The court Depositions paint a picture of verbal abuse by Luther over several years. - WW COCHRANE IV	Family: CLAXTON, Luther Martin / RAE, Elizabeth (F18)
3528	The marriage was performed by the Rev. A. W. FORTUNE at the Christian Church in Lexington, KY, and witnessed by the bride's parents.	Family: CLAXTON, Luther Martin / MOYNAHAN, Gladys (F65)
3529	The money was to be paid to him by his brother Thomas.	WINSTON, John Sr. (I301)
3530	The next year Lee County was formed from a portion of from Russell County, and the HOBBS' land was now located in Lee County.	HOBBS, Vincent Sr. (I4202)
3531	The original patent was issued 20 October 1718.	THORNTON, Col. Francis Jr. (I727)
3532	The previous year Mr. GOVAN had been apprehended as a British subject, and in an appearance at the Hanover Courthouse, was given until May 1777 to depart Virginia.	COCHRAN, David III (I164)
3533	The purpose of this lawsuit was to recover property from the HENRYs that was inherited by Rebecca and her sister, Elizabeth, from their Grandfather, John GEDDES Jr., based on his Will of 18 May 1719 in James City County. The Will stated his wife, Margaret (DANSIE) GEDDES, was to have use of, during her life, his plantations at Totero Fort and Sandy Point and the household goods, cattle and slaves at thoses plantations. After her death, his estate was to be split up between his daughter, Elizabeth (GEDDES) BOBBY and her children. Elizabeth had two sons who died before her in 1722 and 1727. GEDDES' wife Margaret remarried with John SYME I in 1725, who took control of her inherited estate	Family: WINSTON, Major William "Essex" III / BOBBY, Rebecca (F123)
3534	The results are unknown.	RAE, James Gourlay (I55)
3535	The SIMPSONs operated a ferry there, just downstream of the mouth of Lower Twin Creek, and the purchase included 7 houses and the ferry equipment and its operation. Farmers in the area used this location to ship their produce downstream (north) about 13 miles on the Kentucky river to the Ohio river. The purchase, for $15 per acre ($7,950), included 2 parcels that the SIMPSONs had purchased, 250 acres along the river and 280 adjacent acres on higher ground away from the river. The plan of Dr. COCHRAN and John HAWKINS was to plat and establish a town on the flat portion of the land along the river, to be called Marion. Based on subsequent deeds selling off the lots, this ambitious plan included at least 245 lots. On 21 April 1820, eight months after the purchase, they filed a "bill of complaint" in Gallatin Circiut Court** against the SIMPSONs claming they did not have a valid deed for the 280 acre upland tract which they bought from John ADAMS of Richmond, Virginia, Executor of Richard ADAMS' estate, his father. COCHRAN and HAWKINS had learned that other ADAMS' family heirs were claiming that John ADAMS did not have authority to sell the land per the Will. In the complaint, they requested a cancellation of the contract and return of the money already paid, plus reimbursement for buildings and improvements that they made. And if the SIMPSONs did not have the sufficient money, that COCHRAN and HAWKINS retain the 250 acres and be reimbursed for the 280 acres at the price they paid, $15 per acre ($4,200). The defendants countered that the 250 acres on the river where the town would be built and the associated ferry were the valuable part of the 530 acres, and that the more remote 280 acres was only worth $1 per acre, the amount they paid for it. On 12 October 1821 the court issued a decree * HAWKINS, who married Mary RIGG in 1818, became a brother-in-law of Dr. COCHRAN's daughter, Lucy Ann Catharine, when she married Alexander Moxley RIGG, Sr. in 1832. The town of Marion was later renamed Moxley in honor of Alexander Moxley RIGG, Sr. Although the town is now extinct, the area is still known as Moxley. ** Owen County did not expand to include Marion until 28 February 1821, but the legal proceedings continued in the Gallantin County Court until concluded on 18 April 1829.	COCHRAN, Dr. William (I163)
3536	The subject of his Thesis for graduation was the athology of Jaundice. He lost his original diploma, and received a replacement on 8 March 1858.	COCHRANE, Dr. William Winston Sr. (I16)
3537	The time of his death was between his purchase of 300 acres in Essex County on 19 May 1725, and the date a law suit by John George KAUFMAN against Isaac WINSTON, executor of William WINSTON, is dismissed on 17 Jan 1726/7.	WINSTON, William Jr. (I304)
3538	The Totero Fort plantation was named for a fortified village of the Totero Indians. Three Creeks starts on the western edge of present day Greensville County, northwest of Emporia, and runs southeast. Based on county boundry changes, with Brunswick County being formed from southern Surry County in 1723, and Greensville County being formed from eastern Brunswick County in 1781, which was originally Surry County, it is thought that the present day location of Totero Fort is somewhere in Greensville County on the southwest side of Three Creeks where a small branch flows into Three Creeks, between Three Creeks' beginning and where it flows into Southhampton County.	GEDDES, Capt. John (I723)
3539	The will was filed on 26 Nov 1836.	CLARKSON, David (I1642)
3540	The will was probated on 15 Apr 1734.	GARLAND, John (I3462)
3541	The will was probated on 18 December in Marion County, Missouri.	ALLEN, Col. Richardson (I603)
