as a most able & impartial Judge, and an upright magistrate in all other respects. Neither was he less conspicuous for a certain majestic plainness of Sense and Honour, which carried him through all parts of private life with equal dignity and reputation,
and deservedly obtained him the character
of a just and good man in all the several duties & relations of Life.

The following in relation to the origin of the designation, Turkey Island, we hope may not be thought uninteresting. It is extracted from a quaint tract: "A RELATYON OF THE DISCOVERY OF OUR RIVER (JAMES ) FROM JAMES FORKE INTO THE MAINE; MADE BY CAPT. CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT, AND SINCERELY WRITTEN AND OBSERVED BY A GENTLEMAN OF THE COLONY." (State paper office America and the West In- dies.) The author of which has recently been determined, upon proofs adduced by Prof. William Green, LL. D., Richmond, Va., to have been Capt. Gabriel Archer. On

NOTE 10. The Rev. James Keith .- The Rev. Mr. Keith removed to Maryland in 1735 *- doubtless him of the text. The name is a prominent one now, not only in that State, but also in Pennsylvania and Virginia.
NOTE 11. The Rev. David Mossom was born in London, Mch. 25th, 1690, and died Jan. 4th, 1767. He was the Rector of St. Peter's Church, New Kent Co., Va., for a period of forty years preceding his death. A beautiful mar- ble tablet in the wall, on the right hand side of the pulpit, did record his virtues. "He officiated at the nuptials of Gen- eral Washington, at the White House, a few miles from St. Peter's Church." !! This venerable place of worship was the victim of the vandalism of the Federal troops during the late war, its associations with the memory of the Father of his Country finding no responsive chord in the breasts of those zealous patriots, to stay their vengeful hands. "The Church itself was broken and battered, and rendered wholly unfit for use. The old massive stone font, in which the children of two centuries had been baptized, was broken and scattered in fragments over the floor. The chancel was torn down, the pulpit and desk broken and defaced, and not a sash was left in the windows."§ The monument to Mr. Mosson was also

destroyed-nought but fragments remaining. The parish- oners lately appealed to the public for contributions to aid them to so far repair the old church, that divine service might be resumed within its hallowed halls.
NOTE 12. Darby Enroughty .- The locality, Darbytown, situate a few miles below Richmond, owes its designation to its having been at one time almost exclusively peopled by those bearing the name Darby or Enroughty. It being a re- markable fact that the two names, in common parlance among them, are regarded as synonymous and interchangeable. The first, Darby, obtaining prevalence because of its brevity and easier pronunciation. (It is claimed, and with apparent rea- son, that the name was originally Derby, which among the lower English classes is even now pronounced, as by those simple people. ) Those of them, however, who are able to write their names, (in doing so,) generally use that of En- roughty-which name indeed a majority of them affix to legal instruments.
We venture the highly probable conjecture that the indi- vidual above was the progentor of this humble, honest and simple family. His neighbors and succeeding generations, with a wayward ruthlessness which is constantly repeating itself in matters of popular designation, adopting the cog- nomen which least taxed their linguistic skill.
NOTE 13. Isaac Winston .- The Winstons of Virginia are said to be descended from the ancient and honorable family of that name in England. Four of the name emigrated from Yorkshire, England, some time previous to the year 1710. Three brothers-Isaac, of the text, William Essex and James, and a cousin, Pleasant Winston. They were of the Society of

In 1811 or '12, all of the children of Anthony and Kezia Winston, excepting the two youngest (who remained with their parents in Tennessee,) removed to that locality of Mis- sissippi Territory, which now constitutes Madison County, Alabama.
"In 1813, when the war with the Creek nation com- menced, a family council was held in Madison County, to determine which one of the seven brothers, and brothers-in- law should be selected to remain and protect all the families," whilst the other six "went to the war." "Wm. Winston was selected on account of his firmness and prudence to pro- tect the young families." The wives as well as their hus- bands were in the Council. "John Jones Winston was a

Captain, and his eldest brother, Anthony, a Lieutenant in his company-the other five served in the ranks." General Jackson "was the personal friend of all these young men," and bore cheerful testimony to the gallantry of each.
10. John Anthony Winston,5 son of (William4 Anthony,3 Anthony,2 Isaac,1) d. Dec. 22d, 1871. He represented Sumpter Co., Ala., for many years in the General Assembly as Representative or Senator. He was Colonel of the Ala. Regt., Volunteer Infantry, during the Mexican war ; for two terms Governor of Alabama; President of the State Senate; Colonel Eighth Alabama Infantry, during the late war, participating in the battles fought on Virginia soil. He was elected United States Senator in 1866, but was not al- lowed to take his seat. He is described as having possessed an "unbending will" and a vigorous intellect. His style of speech was "bold and incisive." He was never called an orator, but as a debater, he had few, if any, equals in the State. His personal courage was undoubted. He was as he represented his family as being: "very tolerant in matters of religious faith."
11. John Jones Pettus,5 son of (John and Alice Taylor,4 Pettus, Anthony Winston,3 Anthony,2 Isaac,1) was educated for the bar, but preferred planting. He was for many years before the late war a Member of the Mississippi Legislature in both of its branches. He was twice Governor of that State.
Edmund Winston Pettus, brother of the preceding, was Solicitor for the State of Alabama for eight years; Judge of the Circuit Court of the State; Major and Lieutenant Colo- nel 20th Regiment Alabama Infantry, and Brigadier-General Confederate States Army during the late war. He was a gallant and efficient officer, and received the encomiums of his superior officers. He is now a distinguished practitioner of law in Selma, Ala.

12. William Winston,2 son of (Isaac,1) was called Langa- loo William. "He was a great hunter ; had a quarter in Bed- ford or Albemarle County; spent half the year there hunt- ing deer. He was fond of the Indians, and dressed like them, and was a favorite with them. An amour with the daughter of an Indian Chief, who was engaged to another Chief, involved him in difficulties with the savages. They besieged him in a log fort for a week. He defended himself with the aid of three negroes with rifles. Tom, one of the negroes, stood guard every night; at length the favorite squaw went out and made peace between the belligerents. Langaloo William was a great Indian fighter."* He was endowed with those impassioned powers of natural and all- prevailing oratory, which rendered his nephew, Patrick Hen- ry, the patriot, immortal. Wirt, in his life of the latter, quotes the following anecdote from a correspondent-Wm. Pope : "I have often heard my father, who was intimately ac- quainted with this William Winston, say, that he was the greatest orator he ever heard-Patrick Henry excepted. That during the last French and Indian war, and soon after Brad- dock's defeat, when the militia were marched to the frontiers of Virginia against the Indians, this William Winston was a Lieutenant of a company. That the men who were indif- ferently clothed, without tents, and exposed to the rigor and inclemency of the weather, discovered great aversion to the service, and were anxious and were clamorous to return to their families; when William Winston mounting a stump (the common rostrum of the field orator of Virginia, ) and addressed them with keenness of invective, and declaimed with such force of eloquence on liberty and patriotism, that when he concluded, the general cry was 'Let us march on; lead us against the enemy !' and they were now willing, nay anxious, to encounter all those difficulties and dangers which but a few minutes before had almost produced mutiny."

We take this occasion to express our indebtedness for valu- able information embodied in the preceding note, which was rendered us with a prompt heartiness, by the late Hon. John Anthony Winston, of Mobile, and General Edmund Winston Pettus, of Selma, Ala .; whose action is the more highly ap- preciated, because they were the sole representatives of the Winston Family, from whom we received any manner of as- sistance-the remainder of our many applications having been entirely neglected, or met with unpardonable rudeness.
