THE PRELIMINARIES OF MARRIAGE IN ANTE-REVOLUTIONARY TIMES.
The following correspondence will show how courtships were conducted by our forefathers. The patriarchal authority was recognized, and young folks did not make love until the preliminaries were arranged by their fathers. We are indebted to Mr.K. Nelson,a lineal descendant of the parties, for the or- iginal letters; as the old folks have been dead for more than a hundred years, we presume no one's delicacy will be offended by the exposition of these illus- trations of a past age. In the foregoing Spotswood genealogy will be found the relations of the parties to the past and present generations.

DEAR SIR :- My son, Mr. John Walker, having informed me of his inten- tion to pay his addresses to your daughter Elizabeth, if he should be agreea- ble to yourself, lady and daughter, it may not be amiss to inform you what I think myself able to afford for their support, in case of an union. My affairs are in an uncertain state; but I will promise one thousand pounds, to be paid in the year 1765, and one thousand pounds to be paid in the year 1766; and the further sum of two thousand pounds I promise to give him, but the uncertain- ty of my present affairs prevents my fixing on a time of payment :- the above suis are all to be in money or lands and other effects at the option of my said son, John Walker
· I am, Sir, your humble servant,
JOHN WALKER. ,
COL. BERNARD MOORE, Esq., in King William.
28th May, 1764.
DEAR SIR :- Your son, Mr. John Walker, applied to me for leave to make his addresses to my daughter Elizabeth. I gave him leave, and told him at the same time that my affairs were in such a state that it was not in my pow- er to pay him all the money this year that I intended to give my daughter, provided he succeeded; but would give him five hundred pounds next spring, and five hundred pounds more as soon as I could raise or get the money; which sums, you may depend, I will most punctually pay to him.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant, BERNARD MOORE.

THE WINSTON-HENRY GENEALOGY.
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, September 21st, 1876.
MRS. DANIEL SLAUGHTER.
Dear Madam :- I have been informed that your maiden name was Winston, and that you have a family tree. As I am very anxious to learn accurately the Winston ancestry of my grandfather, . Patrick Henry, I trust you will par- don me for asking a copy of the tree, or if it is a very large one, of that part which relates to his ancestry.
I am, very respectfully,
WM. WIRT HENRY.
CULPEPER, VIRGINIA, October 10th, 1876.
DEAR SIR:
My sister, Mrs. Daniel Slaughter, has requested me to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your letter of the 21st ultimo, and to answer it. The account of the Winston family in our possession was written for the satisfaction of her own family by my grandmother, whose maiden name was Lucy Coles, a grand- daughter of Isaac Winston the emigrant; and she married her cousin Isaac Winston, a grandson of the same emigrant. I will compile a genealogy of the family from my grandmother's record, and from information of a later date derived from other sources. I have compared her record with the old wills, also in our possession, and I find it correct for two generation ..
Isaac Winston, the most remote ancestor of that name that I can trace back to, was born in Yorkshire England, in 1620. A grandson of his pursued his fortunes in Wales, where he had a large family. Three of his sons emui- grated to America, and settled near Richmond, Virginia, in 1704. Their names were William, Isaac and James. It is the genealogy of the descendants of Isaac, the second of these brothers, that my grandmother has written.
Isaac Winston the emigrant, married Mary Dabney, and died in Hanover County in 1760, leaving six children, William, Isaac, Anthony, Lucy, Mary Ann, and Sarah. I do not mention them in the order of their births; on the contrary, I think Sarah, the last mentioned, was the oldest.
1. William, son of Isaac Winston; the emigrant, ("He was said to have been endowed with that rare kind of magnetic eloquence which rendered his neph- ew, Patrick Henry, so famous."-Campbell's History of Virginia, p. 520. See also Wirt's Life of Henry), in. Sarah Dabney, issue, Elizabeth, Edmund, (Judge Winston) and Mary Ann. 1. Elizabeth m. Peter Fontaine, issue, 1. John m. Martha Henry dau. of Patrick Henry, issue, Patrick Henry (other children not known). 2. Sarah Fontaine m. Charles Rose; issue, John, Peter, Sarah and Alexander. 3. William Fontaine m. Ann Morris. 4. Mary Fontaine m. first Bowles Armstead; issue, William, Elizabeth, Mary and Peter; m. second John Lewis a nephew of General Washington; issue, Frances, Howel and Mary Ann. (The other children of Peter Fontaine and Elizabeth Winston were James, Edmund. Judith and Susanna, but their marriages are not given in the record. The Rev. William Spotswood Fontaine, now of Reidsville, N. C., and the Rev. Edward Fontaine, now of New Orleans, belong to this branch, and are grand- sons of John Fontaine and his wife Martha Henry.) 2.

FAMILY OF THE REV. JOHN THOMPSON
This gentleman was born at Muckamore Abbey near Belfast in Ireland,and came to Maryland a Presbyterian minister. I am indebted to Mrs. Murray Forbes for documentary proof of this fact in the form of a letter from the Rev. Jacob Henderson (Commissary) to the Bishop of London, dated Maryland, July 30th, 1739, in which he says :- " The bearer, Mr. Jno. Thompson, has been a Preacher in the Presbyterian way at Newton, on the Eastern Shore of this Province; but was, by the distractions of the ministers and people of that per- suasion, put upon considering the terms of communion in the Church of En- gland; and I do verily believe, upon full conviction, has embraced it.
