John Winslow Family

For the convenience of those not acquainted with the record, and where the 
ones needed are to be found, the following is here printed, taken from 
Winslow Memorial, Vol I, Chart V.

John Winslow, m Agnes (d of John Thogmorton Esq) of Kemsey 1400-20, was 
father of Kenelm above, issue: Edward, of Kempsey, & Droitwich, Co 
Worcester, England, b Oct 18, 1575, d May 8, 1655, in Parish of St 
Andrews, who had issue by 2d wife Magdaline Olliver: 1 Edward, b Oct 19, 
1595 (1st Gov of Mass) 2 John, b April 16, 1597, d 1674, age 78, m Oct 12, 
1624 Mary Chilton (d of James, who came over in the Mayflower). Her will 
July 24, 1676.

John Winslow came to New England in the “Fortune” Nov 3, 1621, settled in 
Plymouth, Mass, and moved to Boston 1656. He was a prominent merchant, and 
large ship-builder. He had by wife Mary (Chilton), 1 Elizabeth, 2 John, 
who died 1731, m Abigail Atkinson (d of Theodore) June 18, 1689, issue: 1 
Elizabeth, b April 23, 1692—2 John, b Dec 31, 1693, m Sarah Pierce Sept 21,
1721, died Oct 15, 1731—3 Judith, 4 Joseph (age not given) m Sarah Lawrence
(d of Major Thomas Lawrence of New Town L. I.) Living in Perq Co N. C. 
1677-79, where he served as “foreman of the Petit Jury” when acting Gov 
Thomas Miller was tried for treason, between the said dates. He is called 
in the Col Records of N. C. “another New England Traider.” The question 
naturally arises in the mind of any thinking person; would it not be the 
usual custom for a man of John Winslow’s wealth, a merchant and ship-
builder, to fit out one of his own ships, with his own goods, and put his 
son Joseph in command as Captain? Certainly the ship he commanded “Traded” 
between the Ports of New England, and the ports of Carolina, or he would 
not have been designated as a “New Eng Traider.” This is, however, a moot 
point, for which no one has been able to find a satisfactory solution. 
Joseph Winslow, son of John, & Mary (Chilton) had two children whose ages 
are given in Savages Dictionary, prior to this date, and may we not, with 
some foundation, come to the conclusion that Thomas Winslow of Perq, who 
was of age in 1702, may have been his youngest son, probably born after 
his death, for Joseph Winslow died in New England 1679. In the absence of 
proof, we will leave that unsettled question to future generations for 
solving. No one could serve on a jury, in the Province of N. C. without 
being a resident of the colony, and having in their possession at least 
100a of land, therefore we know he was living in the County, between 
1677-79, and it is supposed he would naturally have his family here with 
him. He probably died in New England on one of his Trading trips. However 
this may be, we pass on to Thomas Winslow, first in Perq according to 
records still extant. John Winslow had a grant for land in New Kent Co Va 
1669. As the records of New Kent have been destroyed by fire, no further 
mention of said John is made, but it is probable that he was ancestor of 
the Spotsylvania Winslows, and also the ones found in Essex Co Va, where 
a Thomas Winslow, with wife Ann, made a deed 1694. Although the writer has 
made diligent search in Virginia, for some connection between these 
Winslows, & the family who moved to Perq, no results have rewarded her 
efforts. The theory still clings that Joseph of New Eng, was the 
progenitor of the N. C. Winslows, and it seems the most plausible 
conclusion, in face of all the facts.

Thomas Winslow of Perq, proved his freedom “from Timothy Clare” in 1702. 
He was either an apprentice to said Timothy, or had been imported by him 
to the Province of N. C., for which he had to serve for a certain length 
of time. From the fact that he soon after this date m Elizabeth Clare (d 
of Timothy, & wife Mary (Bundy) we are led to believe he came of age at 
that time. The date of marriage can not be found. For some reason unknown 
to the writer the Winslows did not have their early marriages recorded, 
although there was an old record book kept by the Reg of Deeds in Perq, 
no Winslows appear therein. Therefore no dates can be furnished for them, 
until they became Quakers, which was not until said Thomas m Elizabeth 
Clare. The Winslows of New England were Episcopalians, and the supposition 
is that Thomas adhered to the same faith, & changed on arrival in Perq, 
from association with his wife’s family.

The will of Thomas Winslow, p in Perq, Jan 1745. Sons: Thomas, Timothy, 
John, Job, to whom he left “a plan’ in Pasq Co, near Newbegun Creek,” 
dau’s Elizabeth, & Miriam.

According to legal papers in Perq, Thomas Winslow was m to Elizabeth Clear 
(who was b Feb 21, 1686,) before 1705.

Winslow, Thomas (1) did not have a son Joseph, according to “Grimes,” but 
in N. C. Historical and Genealogical Reg, a variance is noted, which gives 
said Thomas, a son by that name, and the deeds in Perq make plain the fact 
that Joseph (1) was his son. There is also a difference in the dau’s 
mentioned in these two books, Grimes giving the dau’s as: Elizabeth, & 
Miriam, and Hathaway as: Elizabeth, & Christian. The writer is not up on 
the daughters, but she is morally certain that Thomas Winslow (1) had a 
son by the name of Joseph. A Thomas Winslow m Leah Smith (widow of 
Joseph), 1734. (See deeds Perq Co.) She was his widow soon after. Who this 
Thomas was, and where he stood in the line of the family, is an unsolved 
question.

(1) Winslow, Joseph (thought to be eldest son of Thomas, & Mary (Bundy)) m 
Pleasant Toms, b 1710 (d of Francis, & Margaret (Bogue)) 22, 6mo 1729, she 
died 4, 1mo 1785. They had issue according to his will, p in Perq, Jan 
1750; Sons: Joseph, to whom he left “land on Core Neck,” dau Lydia, “land 
at the head of Little River,” dau’s Miriam, & Mary, “land called Grassy 
Ridge,” wife Pleasant. (See deeds in this book for more information about 
this family.) Joseph Winslow, had a grt for land in Perq, 225a, granted at 
a Council in Edenton, Mar 11, 1740. He was living in Balahack, Jan 3, 
1745-6 and bought of Samuel Newby 250a, adj “his own line” on that date.

(a) Winslow, Joseph (2) Joseph (1) Thomas (1) m Mary White, (d of Thomas, 
& Rachel Jordan who were m in Isle of Wight Co 1719; Rachel Jordon d of 
Joshua, & Elizabeth Sanbourne, d of Daniel Sanbourne, & wife Sarah, of 
Isle of Wight Co Va, whose will was p in said Co, 16, 12mo 1711.) (See 
White record.) Joseph (2) will Perq p Oct 1766, Sons: Thomas, John, 
Joseph, dau’s Betty, Pleasant, & Rachel, wife Mary. Exrs John, & Benjamin 
White (brothers-in-law).

(b) Winslow, Lydia m John White, (s of Thomas, & Rachel (Jordan)) brother 
of Mary, who m Joseph (2), so that their children were double first 
cousins. In turn their dau Pleasant crossed over the border again, & m 
William Winslow, a little further down the line. (See Jacob Winslow line.)

(II) Winslow, Thomas (2) Thomas (1) m Sarah Nixon. His will Perq, p April 
1747, Sons: Jesse, Thomas, dau Elizabeth, wife Sarah (née Nixon).

(III) Winslow, Timothy (1) Thomas (1) m Rachel Wilson, d of Robert & wife 
Rachel (Pricklove, d of John Pricklove, & wife Elizabeth) 9 1mo 1730. His 
will p in Perq gives his children in the following order: 1 Jacob, 2 
Timothy (2), 3 Obed, 4 Caleb, 5 Mary, wife Rachel. His will p July 1752. 
Test’ John, & Mary Winslow (brother, & sister-in-law). Rachel (Wilson) 
Winslow m 2d Wm Townsend, by whom she had four children, m 3d John 
Williams. She is named in her fathers will, 1758, as “dau Rachel 
Townsend,” and in her son Obeds will as “mother Rachel Williams.” Her will 
p in Perq, July 1777, is an interesting document, and clears up many 
puzzles.

(IV) Winslow, John, m Mary Pearson (d of Peter, & wife Rachel) 20, 7mo 
1740, issue: 1 Josiah, 28, 7mo 1741—2 Miriam, b 9, 10mo 1743—3 Thomas, b

James, b 17, 10mo 177-, and John Woolman, no birth date. (The two last 
moved to Randolph Co.)

Winslow (b) Miriam, m Bennoni Pritchard, at Symons Creek, 7, 1mo 1762.

of Greenville, Pitt Co, N. C.

Winslow (d) Samuel, m Ruth Fletcher 13, 3mo 1771, issue: Mary, b 4, 1mo

and reared a family. From them sprang Mr. E. H. Haskell of Washington, D. C.




                         TIMOTHY WINSLOW LINE

Winslow, Jacob (1) Timothy (1) Thomas (1), m Elizabeth —? The ages of his 
children have not been found, although the Quaker records may hold them. 
A thorough search of these records, kept in the vault at Guilford College, 
might reveal much valuable data on the Winslow family, if they were open 
to the public, and one had plenty of time to examine them. However we have 
Jacob Winslows Will, which was p in Perq, Jan 1771, with his sons named as 
follows: William, Jacob (2) Obed, and dau’s: Mary, Millicent, Wife 
Elizabeth.

Nathaniel Welch in his will Perq, p 1789, names “daughter Elizabeth 
Winslaw, but as several Elizabeth Winslows appear in Perquimans county, it 
is not positive proof that this indicates the wife of Jacob. Besides, 
Jacob Winslows wife Elizabeth, died before this date, and it was not 
customary for a person to be named in a will, after death. Her will p in 
Perq, Jan 1785, names dau Mary Saunders, & Millicent Lamb (wife of 
Restore), sons: William, & Jacob, dau Betty. Benjamin Saunders, & Restore 
Lamb Exrs. Jacob Winslow lived in “Piney Woods” district, near the Chowan 
line, and his home, a quaint old residence with many wings, & cubby rooms, 
was still in use a few years ago, having descended through several 
generations to Mrs. Elisha Copeland, d of Francis, & Rachel Winslow (s of 
William Winslow, & wife Pleasant née White). The old rambling house after 
her death was demolished, and a new and more modern residence arose on the 
same site.

William Winslow made his will in Chowan Co, p June 1806. Wife Pleasant, 
sons: Obed, Jacob, Francis, William, John, Josiah, dau’s: Liddy, Mary, &
Elizabeth. Exrs, Caleb Winslow, Restore Lamb, Jacob Winslow, & Joseph 
Copeland. He lived on the edge of Perquimans, and his grand-son Francis 
(2) made his home in early married life at a place called “Snow Hill” just 
across the line in Perquimans. Here were born the four little boys, 
Edward, Tudor, Watson, & Cook, who took an active part in later life in 
the public affairs of said county. The Winslows are too numerous to trace 
out all the various family connections, in their many ramifications, and 
also there is not sufficient data, to make them clear, but this much is 
certain, both and all branches of this wonderful family, trace back to 
either Thomas (1) son of Joseph, or John (1) who is supposed to have been 
brother of said Thomas. Any one wishing to find the data relative to his 
or her own particular branch, should find no difficulty in tracing them 
on the splendid records in Perq, where every known Winslow figures at some 
time or other.


Excursus. Cannon: John Cannon came to New England in “Fortune” with John 
Winslow 1620. Such records prove that the two families were known to each 
other before migrating to Perq Precinct. “Robert Cannon of New England 
died at Mr Durants, Jan 1, 1690.” Wm Townsend m Rachel Winslow (widow of 
Timothy) 4, 4mo 1753, and had dau Betty, who m Joseph Cannon. The last

repute, and owned “Woodlawn” near Hertford, which was acquired by Mr 
Charles Wood, and a few years ago met with the misfortune of being burned 
to the ground. On the place is the old Cannon burying ground, with 
tombstones, and here was buried Joseph Cannon.

                           JOHN WINSLOW LINE

John Winslow (1) contemporary of Thomas (1) is thought to be his brother, 
but there is no actual proof of the fact. This John m Esther Snelling (d 
of Israel, & Hannah, née “Larance.” d of William Lawrence, & “Rachell 
Welsh”) Hannah Snelling m 2d Timothy Clare, his 3d and last wife, by whom 
she had one dau Hannah. From this we see that John Winslow m the 
step-sister of Elizabeth Clare, who was the wife of Thomas Winslow. (See 
wills of Timothy Clare, 1724, and his last wife Hannah, 1726 (Grimes). 
John Winslow (brother of Thomas) will p in Perq, Jan 25, 1753, names sons: 
Benjamin, Israel, John, & Joseph, dau’s: Elizabeth, Hannah, & Esther, wife 
Esther.

The 2d John, whom it seems certain was nephew of John (1), made his will 
also in Perq Co, p July 1754, naming sons: Josiah, Thomas, & Samuel, dau 
Miriam, and wife Mary (d of Peter Pearson) therefore we make this 
distinction, so there will be no confusion of the two Johns, who come so 
close together. He has been classed as John Winslow (2) to distinguish him 
from his uncle, by the same name.?

Winslow, Benjamin (1) John (1) m Rachel White (d of Thomas, & Rachel née 
Jordan) and had issue according to his will: (Nov 1794) Sons: Joseph, 
John, Jordan, and Benjamin (2) dau’s: Sarah, & Rachel. His wife is not 
named in his will, but she is mentioned in the will of her mother, whose 
will was located behind an old looking glass, by an antique dealer in 
Suffolk Va, a few years past. This will is very interesting, but 
unfortunately is not dated, or signed, positive proof however can be found 
in the fact that she names the identical children in her will, that her 
husband Thomas White does in his 1762, p in Perq. (See Perq records.) Mr. 
Alonza Winslow of Winfall N. C. is a direct descendant of this line of the
Winslow family, but the writer has not the data to trace his line.

Winslow, Joseph, was grt 225a in Perq, Mar 6, 1740/1. (Col Rec, Vol 4, p 
588.)

Winslow, Timothy, was grt 540a in Perq, Nov 17, 1743. His wife Rachel née 
Wilson, m 2d William Townsend, and 3d John Williams. (See Townsend, & 
Wilson.)

Winslow, Henry, came to Perq Co, from London about 1740/1. He made 
petition to the Court Mar 11, 1740/1 for possession of 3333a of land in 
Perq, called “Birkswear” formerly grt George Catchmaid, & conveyed to sd 
Winslow. He had no descendants in Perq apparently.
