|---|---|---|
| Father | William "Langaloo" Winston (son of Capt. Isaac Winston I) | Maj. William "Essex" Winston III |
| Mother | Sarah Dabney | Rebecca Bobby |

Lucy (Winston) Cochran Line — Verified
- Lucy Winston (1760–1802), d/o Maj. William "Essex" Winston & Rebecca Bobby

Essex Winston Will — 23 Feb 1781
Names daughters Elizabeth, Mary Ann & Susanna as joint heirs of most slaves. Executor: David Cochran. Witness: J. C. Littlepage.
That Mary Ann was still an unmarried Winston daughter in 1781 — cannot be widow of Dr. John (d. March 1774).
