• Notes

  Married: William had at least 4 headrights to patent land and Sarah had at least 1, indicating the number of trips each took from England to Virginia to qualify for the headrights. Therefore, various scenarios are possible as to whether they were born and/or married in England or Virginia. Headrights have not been found for their children, and thus they are assumed to have been born in Virginia. Their marriage date is an estimate based on the estimated birth dates of their children. - W. Winston COCHRANE IV, 2013 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Residence: 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 -
