Death Date: 7 Sep 1748
Place: North Anna River, Caroline, Virginia, USA
The original memorial for Mary Dabney Winston was deleted from FindAGrave but showed her death as 1760 in Hanover County, and her husband Isaac Winston buried at St. Peter's in Hanover.
Some family histories claim that the widow Mary Dabney Winston married Edmund Massie II after the death of Isaac Winston and moved to Kentucky (DAR Magazine vol. 74, p.61, 1941; "What Does America Mean to You?" by Evelyn Ownby, 1942, 2 vols.), but research by Tom McMillan has proven that is incorrect. (See Find a Grave Memorial ID: 25081027.)
Grandparents of
Dolley Madison and Patrick Henry
----------
Other researchers believe her mother was Cornelius Dabney's first wife Edith, who is documented to have still been alive as of Jun.29, 1678. Liasons with Native American "wives" during Colonial days often occurred during the lifetime of the white wife. However, William Deyo, official Pamunkey Tribe historian, author of several books, and direct descendant of Cornelius Dabney through BOTH wives, stated that Cornelius Dabney, according to tradition, was given Susannah to marry by her mother, Queen Cockacoeske, upon the death of his first wife.
