Joseph Winslow, merchant, mariner, and landowner, was born in Marshfield, Mass., one of eight children of John of Plymouth Colony and Boston and Mary Chilton Winslow. John Winslow arrived in America on the ship Fortune in 1621, when he brought the furniture of the Pilgrims who had sailed in the Mayflower the previous year. Mary Chilton Winslow was among those who arrived on the Mayflower. Young Joseph was listed on the roster of the militia at Marshfield in 1643 and later accompanied his father to Maine, where John operated a trading post.

Among the eight Winslow children were Edward, a mariner, who was a leader in the foundation in 1664 of the Charlestown settlement on the Cape Fear River in North Carolina; John, a merchant and mariner, who contributed much to the growth of Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia through seafaring and trade; and Mary, who married Elisha Hutchinson, the son of Anne Hutchinson, a quietist and an exile from the Massachusetts Colony. Uncle Edward Winslow was three times governor of the Massachusetts colony, served as minister to the court of Charles I, and was an associate of Oliver Cromwell.

Joseph Winslow was twice married. He last married Sarah Lawrence in 1673, and their children included Mary (b. 1674) and Joseph (b. 1677). [By his first wife he was the father of Timothy, of Perquimans Precinct, N.C. - [sic: disproven, Y DNA evidence] His contribution to the population of the country has been called his greatest achievement. Although concentrated in eastern North Carolina, his descendants also spread out along the Atlantic seaboard and in significant numbers were part of the later Quaker exodus from North Carolina to the Midwest and among the Free-Soilers who contributed much to the westward expansion of the country.

Winslow was an opponent of the English Navigation Acts and a leader in Culpeper's Rebellion. In this connection he was the foreman of the jury that convened in 1677 at Nixonton on the Little River in Pasquotank Precinct and deposed Thomas Miller, variously known as governor and collector of customs. Governor Miller had acted without the consent of the Grand Assembly in enforcing the Navigation Acts.

As a master mariner, Joseph Winslow operated various vessels in the waters of North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. He was also an extensive landowner, with property in Massachusetts and Maryland as well as in North Carolina.

Disputed children

No proof was found that Joseph Winslow was the father of Timothy Winslow, of age in Perquimans County NC in 1702 and founder there of a family. Although Joseph Winslow was asked to serve as foreman of a jury 1677-8 in Perquimans Co. NC, he is called "another New England traider" in the NC COL REC, which thus does not prove he owned land or resided there.[1]

• John Winslow (1597–1674) was born April 16, 1597 in Droitwich, Worcestershire, England.[1] He died between March 12, 1673/4 and May 21, 1674 in Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony. At the time of his death he was one of the wealthiest merchants in Boston. Both he and his wife were buried in King’s Chapel Burying Ground in Boston. They both left wills that survive today.[2][3] [4][5] ....
• John Winslow married Mary Chilton between 1623 and May 22, 1627, in Plymouth and had ten children. She had been baptized in St. Peter's Parish, Sandwich, Kent, England on May 31, 1607, and she died between July 31, 1676 and May 1, 1679 in Boston. In 1620 Mary and her parents had come to Plymouth as passengers on the Mayflower. Her parents died the first winter, with her father, James Chilton, named on several memorials in Provincetown in honor of those who were the earliest to die on board the Mayflower in November and December 1620. Tradition has it that Mary Chilton was the first Mayflower passenger to step ashore on Plymouth Rock.[26][27][28]
• Children of John and Mary Winslow, all born in Plymouth after May 22, 1627
  • John was born about 1627 and died in Boston between October 3 and 12, 1683. His name appears with his mother Mary on the 1627 Division of Cattle list for Plymouth, with the father John named on a separate list. He married: 1. Elizabeth ____ before April 18, 1664 (birth of first child) and had four children, all born in Boston. No record of her after August 7, 1670. 2. Judith ____ after August 7, 1670. She was born ca. 1625 and died shortly before December 18, 1714 (burial date), in Boston, age near 90.
  • Susanna was born about 1630 and died after November 14, 1685 in East Bridgewater. She married Robert Latham by 1650 and had eight children, probably born in Bridgewater. He was possibly born in England ca. 1613 and before February 28, 1688/9 in Bridgewater at age 76. Both were buried in Old Grave Yard, East Bridgewater, Section B. Reports from the records of the Plymouth coroner’s jury on January 31, 1654/5 details an event that is termed one of the most extreme cases of a master mistreating a servant in that colony. This involved Susanna and her husband Robert Latham. From the records the case details a systemic abuse of 14 year old John Walker, apparently an indentured servant, who died with a battered, bruised, starved and frozen body at the fault of his master and mistress. His master Robert Latham admitted whipping him “all his backe with stripes given him by his master, Robert Latham, as Robert himself did testify..” and testimony from witnesses revealed that “hee (Latham) gave John Walker som stripes that morning before his death; and also wee find the flesh much broken of the knees of John Walker, and that he did want sufficient food and clothing and lodging..”[29] On March 4, 1654/5 Robert Latham was indicted for felonious cruelty to his servant John Walker by unreasonable correction, by withholding necessary food and clothing, and by exposing Walker to extremities of the seasons, whereby he died. The trial jury found him guilty of “manslaughter by chaunce medley” and he was sentenced to be burned in the hand, and having no lands, to have all his personal property confiscated. Latham’s wife Susanna was presented by the grand jury for being in great measure guilty with her husband in exercising extreme cruelty toward their late servant John Walker.[30] **Mary was born about 1631-32 and died after October 28, 1663, and before November 1665 in Plymouth. She married Edward Gray on January 16, 1650/1, and had six children, all born in Plymouth. Edward Gray, born ca. 1629, is recorded as being a merchant and among the wealthiest of Plymouth Colony.

Last Will And Testament Joseph Winslow (1636-1679) Framed Will on Vellum: The last will and testament of Joseph Winslow, son of John Winslow and Mayflower passenger Mary (Chilton), who is alleged to be

No proof was found that Joseph Winslow was the father of Timothy Winslow, of age in Perquimans County NC in 1702 and founder there of a family.

DNA Studies

Timothy is NOT Joseph's son, according to DNA analysis. In fact, Timothy is not a direct descendant of Kenelm (born 1599) Winslow at all. Here is an article about this data:

DNA Findings for Kenelm, Timothy, Thomas and John-2005 “The Winslow Family Y-DNA Project, that was started in April of this year to help all branches of the Winslow family identify their origins, has made significant advances in the past six months.

“A number of Kenelm (b.1599) descendants who participated in the project laid the groundwork for the New England Winslow DNA fingerprint. We now know 24 to 25 of the 26 DNA markers for Kenelm, for a better than 90% confidence for his fingerprint. This will allow any potential descendant, desiring to confirm Kenelm as an ancestor, the opportunity with a quick DNA test either directly if they are a male Winslow or indirectly through a surrogate family member who is.

“Most recently, significant results have culminated for the Southern Winslows in the DNA fingerprint for Timothy Winslow (born about 1654). With only three descendants of Timothy we have a 99% confidence of Timothy's DNA fingerprint. Additionally, the results have confirmed that believed sons Thomas (born 1682) and John (born 1699) are truly brothers. This was a unique situation where two descendants of Thomas and one of John all have all 26 DNA markers exactly matching, allowing the high confidence for the DNA fingerprint.

“The connection between the Southern and the New England Winslows are not yet fully conclusive. There are enough DNA markers in common to know that there is a related connection between the two branches. However, the DNA genetic distance is such that it is very doubtful the common ancestor occurred as early as Edward Sr. (born 1560).

“The project is actively searching for any male Winslow descendants of John Winslow (born 1597) and of course any of those of his sons or brothers. Finding a direct male descendant of John Winslow could be the keystone to finalizing Kenelm's DNA and confirming the Southern and New England connection.

“Again, anyone who wishes to confirm their ancestry to either of these branches of the family may either have their DNA tested, if they are a male with a Winslow surname, or use a family member who is as a surrogate and have a high confidence in a conclusive outcome.
