"David Corbett Winslow was born 9 June, 1819, in the township of Hunter, on the Catskill Mountains. His father, with a view to his health, took up his abode here in this mountain fastness for the purpose of hunting bears and wolves, for the capture of which the State of New York then paid a bounty. His mother was eloquent in her description of this portion of her married life. She was often compelled too pass her nights alone with her young and helpless children - her husband being absent on his trapping expeditions. The howling of wolves around this lonely log house was by no means pleasant music to a woman who was born and educated in the city of Boston. David spent his boyhood and youth at various occupations, attending the village school for the most part in winter, after the removal of the family to Newton, Massachusetts, when he was seven years of age. At the age of twenty and a half he attended the academy at Hancock, New Hampshire, for six months, where he qualified himself for a teacher, and taught his first school at Peterboro, New Hampshire, during the winter of 1840-1841. As this vocation afforded him leisure for study, he determined to follow it until he could prepare himself for a profession. He accordingly, his the spring of 1841, came to Long Island, where male teachers were employed through the year, which was not then the practice in New Hampshire. He taught school, and, at the same time, studied law in the office of Judge N B Morse, then District Attorney off Kings County, New York, and afterwards Judge of the Supreme Court. In due time he passed the examination required by the laws of New York, and was admitted to the bar in Brooklyn, where he still continues to practice. He has held various offices; among others, was assistant assessor under the Internal Revenue Act, when it first went into operation, which position he resigned in a short time. He was appointed register in bankruptcy, for the eastern district of New York, by Chief Justice Chase, when that Act went into operation, which office, and that of United States Commissioner, he now holds, to the general satisfaction of the bar and persons who have business in this court. He was married in New York City, 25 July, 1841, to Harriet Adaline Stearns, born 14 January, 1871, Franklin, Massachusetts, daughter of Deacon Edwin Stearns and Harriet Paddock of Millbury, Worcester County, Massachusetts."
