Hereported that he no longer worked with the WINSTEAD genealogy because itbelonged to the family of his ex-wife.

Some of this material came from THE FAMILIES OF HAWKINS COUNTY, TN.

This first Samuel's will was probated 16 November 1726, NorthumberlandCounty, VA Record Bk 1726-29, page 32a.

According to widespread family legend, SAMUEL THE FIRST was Welsh, butthis seems unlikely, as the name is thoroughly Anglo-Saxon meaning,roughly 'wife's farm.' The only other connection found thus far is theparish of Winestead in the East Riding of Yorkshire. No families namedWINSTEAD appear in its parish registers, however. First documentaryrecord: Samuel was appointed Constable for Matapony by the CountyCourt, 19 May 1697 (Northumberland County Orders, page 770).

See SELECTED EARLY DOCUMENTS section of this text of Samuel's will.
