William T. Winton and his wife Betsy were born in Ulster, Ireland in 1760. They immigrated to the Shenandoah Valley in the late 1700's. Travelling with the Wooten, Hubbert, and Bryan families in 1806, William and Betsy's son James (born 1773) purchased a large portion of Grundy and Warren County for 25t an acre and obtained additional land through "squatter's grants" Two hundred years later, the area is known as Winton Town.
James married Sukie Copeland, and built a two-story log "mansion", along with several smaller houses for his 36 slaves, near Viola in an area that is now Coffee County. The couple had four sons and one daughter. James died in "1833" and is buried in an unmarked grave in Wesley's Chapel Cemetery.
