Fellow Carr Researchers:
I am a descendant of Captain William Carr and Elizabeth Winston through their
daughter Anne Winston Carr. And I am continuing my research of what I
consider my "neglected wives of Shelton ancestors" club.
I have been trying without success to sort out who Elizabeth Winston's parents
(and their ancestors) were. There seem to be a bit of disagreement amongst
the various websites and other online information.
I believe in a posting on this list there is a family sheet that says her
parents were John (or James) Winston and Barbara Overton. Is this couple her
parents? If any of you have looked into this, who were John (James) Winston
amd Barbara Overton's parents, grandparents great grandparents, etc.??? I
have tried to sort through two big Winston books, only to be bogged down in
all manner of controversies about relationships amongst Overtons and Winstons,
since it seems a William Winston also married a Barbara Overton.
I hope you all had a very happy holiday and will have a prosperous New Year.
