My Winston line starts quite far back in 16th century England and ties in with my Hurt line. Please note that none of this research was performed by me. It was done by Varla Jane Owens Wright and given to me to add to my website (thanks, Varla!). If you have questions about this line, please contact Varla at varlajw [at] msn.com. I have no other information on this line than what appears here on this site.
The Winstone / Winston Family of Willington Court, Sandhurst, Gloucestershire, England
I am related to William Hurt of New Kent Co., VA in the 1600s (later King & Queen county, VA.
Many years ago I order a copy of a lawsuit entitled Winstone v. Hurt (all in old script long hand) from the British Archives. It is about the Winston/Winstone family from Gloschester that you mention. The records are very hard to read. I am wondering if Varla Jane Owens Wright’s records of this family include a transcript of this lawsuit that would help me understand if it has an genealogical significance to my Hurt family in VA.
