The Winstead family can be traced all the way back to 1550 and John Winston. The Winston name

changed to Winstead in 2 steps. Daniel Winston’s (1647-1672)  son was Daniel Winson (1622-1682)

and his son was Samuel Winstead (1671-1726). The name change was made for unknown reasons.

(Editor’s Note: Mary Elizabeth Allen’s great grandfather was John Winstead. Lucy Ann Winstead and John Winstead were sister and brother and children of William Winstead. With twelve slaves to sell as part of the estate of Lucy Ann Winstead, her estate was one of a rich lady. Since slaves were very expensive and would have been used to work on a large piece of land, it must be assumed that she also held a sizable area of land.)

The purchaser in each case will be required to give bond with two or more approved securities.

 

SAML. WINSTEAD, Adm'r.

(Editor: It is assumed this SAML. WINSTEAD is brother to Lucy Ann Winstead. Since Lucy died in SEP 1835, this is 7 years after her death. She probably died intestate, leaving no written will. It appears that the wheels of the local court ran a tad slowly.)
