PREFACE
This book was written for the enjoyment of the descendants of the featured
WINFREY families. We have started with the wills and marriages of several families which are recorded in
parishes in England, and who might possibly have been related to us. None of these connections have been proven until we get
to ONE JOHN WINFREY who was a drafted Militiaman who served in the Revolutionary War from Buckingham
County, Virginia. After giving you what information we have on him, we have inserted our own Pedigree Chart to indicate
the WINFREY ancestors and their wives who are featured in this writing. After this Pedigree Chart we will devote an entire
chapter to each of my direct ancestors and his wife and her family. The first such chapter is Chapter 7, beginning on page
46, and will feature Rev HENRY WINFREY (2-4) 1767---1849 and his wife, SARAH “SALLY”
THOMAS (2-5) 1772---1845. The same pattern will be followed through the rest of the book.
