He lived with the Rev. Thomas Shepard in Cambridge for two years, prior to 12 Nov. 1646, then moved to Plymouth, later to Marshfield by 1650 where he was constable in 1653. Although all his property was confiscated by the court in 1655, he was accepted as a freeman two years later; and after he and Susanna removed to E. Bridgewater about 1660.

They evidently moved up the economic ladder, for after his death his children sold land originally belonging to him.

Although the record-book copy of the will of John Winslow (#7) dated October 1683 mentions “the two sons of my sister Susanna Latham decd”, three sons were then alive, and Susanna would acknowledge a deed in Nov. 1685. The disappearance of the original will is a matter of regret!

No probate records exist for either Robert or Susanna Latham. But on 28 Feb. 1688/9 Joseph Latham of Bridgewater sold land bought by “my father Robert Latham late of Bridgewater decd.”; on 13 Aug. 1714

Joseph Washborn Sr.,of Bridgewater [husband of Hannah Latham] surrendered rights to land “of my father-in-law Robert Latham decd.”; and on 18 April 1715 James Latham of Bridgewater quitclaimed to his brother Chilton Latham rights to land “of our father Robert Latham.” In addition, the will of Mary (Chilton) Winslow (#3) names three grandchildren in the order Mercy Harris, Mary Pollard and Susanna Latham--the only record of Mary, and aside from a mention in John Winslow's will, the only record of Susanna. Since Mary Pollard's name occurs between those of Mercy Harris and Susanna Latham, both daughters of Robert and Susanna, it is possible, although far from certain, that Mary was also theirs.

Although no birth, probate or land record substantiates a daughter Elizabeth, Mr. Bowman's acceptance of her, a marriage record of an otherwise unplaced Elizabeth Latham, and the names Robert and Susanna given to her firstborn children--all warrant her inclusion in this family.

On the other hand, no proof-was found to substantiate the claim by Mitchell and by Savage for a daughter Sarah Latham. The daughter Sarah is here replaced by Susanna, based on Williams Latham' s suggestion in “Bridgewater Corrections” and reasoning offered in Mary Chilton's Title to Celebrity.

About Edward Winslow I

Edward Winslow I was born 17 Oct 1560, Parish of St Andrews, Droitwich, Worcestershire, England. He died 8 May 1655, Parish of St Andrews, Droitwich, Worcestershire, England. He was a salt merchant.

Note: Other data shows he died before September 1631 in Droitwich, Worcester, England (http://winslowhome.com/winslow1/page9.html)

His parents were Kenelm Wynslowe (b. abt 1543, Droitwich, Worcestershire, England) and Elizabeth Foliott (b. abt 1540, Pynton, Droitwich, Worcestershire, England)

Death

Died: After 1628, possibly in Ireland.

He is sometimes said to have died 8 May 1620 in Droitwich. There is no evidence to support this date. The will of Thomas Harden dated 14 September 1620 states that Edward Winslow owed him money but had fled to Ireland. There is a record of Mr. Edward Winslow gent living in Londonderry in 1628. This is taken as the last record known of Edward Winslow. No, will or record of his death has been found.

Notes

Parentage: Edward Winslow is presumed to be the son of Kenelm Winslow of Kempsey, though this is not proven by any primary record. There are no baptisms, wills, land records, court records or manorial records which prove a connection. The first connection is that Edward Winslow named a son Kenelm, presumably after his father Kenelm Winslow. It should be noted that while Kenelm seems an unusual name, it was not that unusual in Worcestershire in the 16th century. The next seeming connection is the fact that Gov. Edward Winslow named his estate in Massachusetts "Careswell" which suggests a connection to the Winslow family of Kerswell in the parish of Kempsey, Worcestershire.

Though several theories have been put forward, the identity of his mother remains unproven. She is not proven to be Katherine Bucke or Elizabeth Foliott (in fact, both of these identifications have been rejected).[4][5][6] All the theories are attempting to explain how Gov. Edward Winslow was called "cousin" by both Sir Arthur Haselrige and his wife Dorothy Greville. Also, Herbert Pelham called Gov. Edward Winslow "cousin" in two letters sent to the governor. See the page of Kenelm Winslow for more details regarding the theories as to his wives.

Common Errors to Avoid

Incorrect birth date: It is often said that Edward Winslow Sr. was born on 17 October 1560 in Droitwich, Worcestershire, England. This is incorrect.[1] This error first appears in Holton's Winslow Memorial and has been repeated many times elsewhere.[7] It is not supported by any parish register entry nor any other documentary evidence.[8] In fact, neither the Droitwhich parish registers nor any of the surrounding parishes go back as far as 1560.

Incorrect wife: It is often said that Edward Winslow Sr. married Eleanor Pelham, daughter of Herbert Pelham of Droitwich, and that he had a son Richard by her. This is incorrect. Edward Winslow did not marry Eleanor Pelham and he did not have a son Richard. This error first appears in Holton's Winslow Memorial and has been repeated many times elsewhere.[9] There is no evidence of such a marriage or child. It should also be noted that his marriage in London was copied into the Droitwich parish records, along with both birth and baptism dates of children. It is not credible that someone with that attention to detail would not also copy a first marriage and offspring by it. This error may somehow be related to the fact that Josias Winslow, son of Gov. Edward Winslow, married Eleanor Pelham a daughter of Herbert Pelham.

Incorrect children:

Richard Winslow (b. abt 1585, Droitwich, Worcestershire, England)[citation needed]

Margaret Winslow (b. about 1589, Droitwich, Worcestershire, England)[citation needed] NOTE: There is no proof that Margaret, wife of Robert Hicks, was daughter of Edward Winslow. See either of their profiles for more explanation.

Notes

From Paine ancestry. The family of Robert Treat Paine, signer of the Declaration ... By Sarah Cushing Paine, Charles Henry Pope Pg.58

Edward Winslowe, asserted by the author of the Winslow Memorial to have been "the only son of Kenelm of whom we have any knowledge," and to have been born at St. Andrew's parish, Worcester, 17 Oct., 1560, is supposed to have married for his first wife, Eleanor Pelham, daughter of Sir Herbert Pelham of Droitwich, by whom he had a son Richard, born about 1585, and who died 20 May, 1659.

Edward died before 1631. He married (2) at St. Bride's Church, London, 4 November, 1594, Magdelene Ollyver. The records of baptisms of the children of this couple are to be found in the parish register of St. Peter's, Droitwich (a town 7 miles from the city of Worcester). The eldest, Edward, is he who became one of the Mayflower company, governor several terms, and a writer of several valuable works, relative to the colony.

MAYFLOWER PASSENGER; Edward Winslow served as the governor of the Plymouth Colony. He also signed the Mayflower compact.

Wealthy owner of a salt boilery. m. possibly 20 Oct. 1594. His son Edward was Govenor of Massachusetts and a Mayflower passenger. His son Gilbert was also a Mayflower passenger.

THE EARLY WINSLOWS IN AMERICA

by Nedra Watkins Reese

December 1981

Edward and Magdalen Winslow of Droitwich, England, became the parents of eight children, five sons and three daughters: Edward born 19 October 1722 John, April of 1595; Elynor, April of 1598; Kenelin 29 April 1599; Gilbert, October of 1600; Elizabeth, March of 1601; Magdalen 26 December 1604 and Josiah, February of 1605. (1.)

The Winslow surname is taken from the town of Winslow in Buckinghamshire, England. The original family seat was in Worchestershire. (2.)

All five of the Winslow brothers came early to America. Edward, an ancestor of Winslow Farr, and Gilbert came on the Mayflower in 1620: John came on the Fortune in 1621. Both Kenelin and Josiah came before 1655.

A brief unconfirmed family history of Lorin Farr describes Edward as a well to do Englishman, who traveled abroad after finishing his education. In Holland, he met and fell in love with a young Pilgrim girl. They were married, and he aided the little band of Pilgrims who were leaving for the New World. He gave money to help purchase the Mayflower, and he and his bride sailed on it to America. She died on the ship after arriving at Plymouth, as did many others. He later married a widow who had also been a passenger on the Mayflower.

John was married at New Plymouth to Mary Chilton, daughter of James Chilton, another passenger on the Mayflower, at some time prior to 1627. According to family tradition, Mary was the first female to set foot on the American shores. This may refer either to the landing at Cape Cod where the women went ashore to wash their clothes, or to the landing at Plymouth. John resided in the north part of Plymouth called Plain Dealing until about 1656. He was a merchant and held various municipal offices at Plymouth . (2. )

The Following is:

Printed from NEHG Register, Volume 121, January 1967, New England Historic Genealogical Society & Broderbund Software, Inc., Banner Blue Division, March 24,2001

Appendix II The HEGIRA OF EDWARD7 Winslow

The will of Thomas Harton, dated 14 Sept. 1620 and proved 19 Dec. following (see note h above) indudes under the heading "Desperate Debts," the following:

"Edward Windslowe some time under sheriff of co. Worcester, owes money for which I can get no payment as he has fled to Ireland. Sir Henry Foilett has my bonds for same. John Wilson also fled to Ireland. Win. Woodward alias Blauckett fled to Pembrokeshire. Mr. John Richardson of Castle Morton, dwelling in London."

Possibly the indebtedness of Winslow derived from his having helped Simon Clarke and Charles Stamford, for Chancery Proceedings of 24 Oct. 1611 show this answer to a bill of complaint of Richard Moore, gent.:

"Answer (only) of Edward Winslow: Subject Winslow was surety on a bond.

Simon Clarke and Charles Stamford were principals" (Banks MSS, Rare Book

Room, Library of Congress, red bound series, fo. 749).

It so happens that Sir John Bucke of Kempsey, who brought Keres. well from Kenelm0 Winslow, was in the commission of the peace for Worcestershire. Bucke s wife, Eleanor, was sister to the aforesaid Henry Folliott, kt., the latter having by 1615 gone to Ireland, where in 1619 he was created Lord Folliott of Ballyshannon, Sligo, in the peerage of Ireland. See "The Ligon Family in England" (1947), p.101, and Calendar of State Papers, Ireland, 1615-1625, p. 10, 11. Also see reference cited in note j, above, as well as Worcestershire Quarter Sessions Rolls, Worcs. Hist. Soc.

It is suggested that Harton knew that Edward Winslow bad either a kinship or acquaintance with the Buckes, and consequently approached Sir John Bucke for help in collecting the money that Winslow owed; if so, Bucke probably advised Harton to turn his evidence of the debt over to Sir Henry Folliott, Bucke s brother-in-law, who was then in Ireland.

In that era, the high-sheriff of a county normally would select a kinsman or acquaintance to become under-sheriff. In 1620 the high-sheriff of Worcestershire was Sir Edmond Wylde of Kempsey9 whose paternal granddame was Eleanor Wall of Droitwich, sister to the mother of the Sir John Bucke who bought Kereswell from Kenelm Winslow. Bucke s father, Francis, in his will, showed his affection for his wife s cousins Thomas Wylde of Kempsey (father of Sir Edmond), and Thomas brother, George Wylde of Droitwich (see will of Francis Bucke of Kempsey, Worcs., gent., dated 1580, proved 1581 at Worcester; will of Sir Edmond Wylde, proved in 1620 [P.C.C. Soame, 1094]; will of his father, Thomas Wylde of K.empsey, Worcs., proved 1599 (P.C.G. 69 Kidd]; "Visitation of Worcestershire, 1569," Harleian Society Publication, vol. 27, p. 26, 27, 151 in the latter page Kemsey in Bedfordshire is wrongly stated for Kempsey, Worcs., which the wills correctly indicate as home of the Wyldes. Also see "Visitation of Worcestershire, 1634," Harleian Society Publication, vol. 90, p. 79. Plainly Wylde seems to have been led by Sir John Bucke, his close kinsman, to choose Edward7 Winslow as under-sheriff. The inference again is that Winslow was either cousin or close friend to Bucke.

The inhumane treatment meted out to debtors in English prisons of those days was frightful enough to persuade those who could not pay to flee the country. But by 1621 we are told that Edward7 Winslow was in England, living at Clifton, a tiny hamlet in Severnstoke.

from form submissions. It has 95 entries of his marriage to Eleanor Pelham in the British section!! A few of these may be duplicates but most of them were done since 1992.

The FGRA sheet has Edward's birthdate as 17 Oct 1560 and shows a first marriage to Eleanor Pelham.

However, a series of articles by John G. Hunt, B.S.C., of Arlington, Va., appeared in "The American Genealogist", vol 41-43, in which he says (Vol 42 pg 186) the date of birth for Edward and the first marriage to Eleanor Pelham have never been documented. He says the birthdate originated, with no source given, in Holton's "Winslow Memorial", published in 1887-1888. It may be that he doubts that date because evidence has been uncovered to establish the probable birthdate of his purported father, Kenelm, as 1551, (see notes for Kenelm) making it impossible for him to have had a son born 1560. Mr. Hunt guesses

Edward was born nearer 1572.

There was an article in Vol 42 pg 86 of "American Genealogist", by Meredith B Colket, Jr., suggesting that the 1560 birthdate for Edward may be right and that the problem with it is in assuming that Edward was son of Kenelm when he may be brother instead. Mr. Hunt, in answer, (pg 186) said he did not think it likely. It is not clear in Mr. Hunt's article what was the source of the purported first marriage. He said it appeared in "Americana Illustrated", also without a source. He said further that both statements, of birth and of first marriage, have been accepted by some and not by others ever since. He said further "Indeed, we can find no record attesting the existence in Worcestershire of any Pelham family at that or any related era."

A family group sheet showing this first marriage is in the FGRA collection, also submitted by Gerald R. Fuller, with sources: Tilson Gen. and N.Y. Gen and Bio Rec V46 pg 306. It shows Eleanor born 1564 of Droitwich, Worcester, Eng., daughter of Sir Herbert Pelham, and lists two children, Richard, born abt 1585, Droitwich, married 1605 Alice Hurdman, and died 20 May 1659; and Margaret, born 1589, Droitwich, married Robert Hicks and died 1665. There was a note on the sheet, "It has been noted that discrepancies appear on this record....." It didn't specify what they were and they are not apparent. The 1997 IGI has 95 entries of his marriage to Eleanor Pelham in the British section!! A few of these may be duplicates but most of them were submitted since 1992.

About 12 are with date before 1594, the rest with only the year 1620. The 1997 IGI has an extracted marriage to Magdelen (no "e" on the end and no surname) with date 3 Nov 1594, Saint Peter, Droitwich, Worcester, England, from film FHL 801595 which is the parish register of St. Peter de Witton Church, Droitwich. It also has a marriage entry with wife's name Magdalene (no surname) the same date but St. Bride Church, London, London, England, from temple film FHL184772. Others with Magdalene Ollyver, same date (or 4 Nov) and place, some from temple films and others from form submissions.

One of Mr. Hunt's articles, found in "The American Genealogist", vol 41 pg 168, says Edward Winslow and Magdalene Oliver were married in 1594 at Saint Brides, Fleet Street, London. It gives the source as "Dictionary of National Biography", sub "Winslow, Edward"; cf. Charles Edward Banks, "The English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers" (1929), 98-99. There is a note in "Notes and Queries" published in "NEHGR" vol 24 (1870) pg 329, sent in by Joseph L. Chester, London, which says he found the following marriage entry in the parish register of St. Bride's, Fleet Street, London: "1594, Nov. 4. Edward Winslowe and Magdalene Ollyver." It looks like two authentic records exist of the marriage, one in Droitwich, Worcester, and the other in London. The two places are at least 100 miles apart. Perhaps the one in Droitwich was made only for information and not at time of the actual performing of the marriage.

An article by Mahomet G. Jones, Ogden, Utah, titled "The Winslow English Pedigree Critically Examined", (FHL 990094 it 9).found in pamphlet form in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, reviews the various theories and comes to the conclusion that none of the conjectures about the wife of Kenelm Winslow of Droitwich are probable enough to accept.

He also has questions about the paternal pedigree saying that it needs to be substantiated.

A more recent article in "NEHGR" vol. 154 (2000) pg 78, by Kenneth W. Kirkpatrick, reviews the Hunt articles and other sources in depth and comes to the conclusion that the most likely, but by no means proven, theory is that the mother or Edward Winslow of Droitwich may be an un-named daughter, (or even Blanche, one that is named but for which no marriage is found), of Fulke and Elizabeth (Willoughby) Greville. He also shows familial connections of the Greville family to the Hesilridge and Foliott families which could explain why the cousin connection with them.

From "The Mayflower Winslows" in NEHGR V. 121 pg 26: Edward Winslow was a salt extractor of Droitwich, Worcs, England. By his wife Magdalene he had five sons who were early settlers of New England. "Of these the eldest was Edward, 1595-1655, sometime governor of Plymouth Colony. ... Not long before the outbreak of the American Revolution, Governor Thomas Hutchinson, a well informed political figure, writing of Gov. Edward Winslow, asserted that he was 'a gentleman of the best family of any of the Plymouth planters.' On the other hand, in 1951, Bradford Smith, wirting apropos of the humble status of the generality of the Mayflower passengers of 1620 asserted: 'Efforts have been made to prove that Winslow came from a higher step in the English stairway of classes. There is nothing to sustain this'. Taken together, however, there are several records that clearly support the statement that Edward Winslow was a gentleman. . . . Specifically: 1. In 1607 at Droitwich (Edward, Sr.) was styled 'Mr.', a prefix of respect not casually bestowed in that era. 2. By 1611 he had become surety for Simon Clarke, Esq., who in 1617 was to be created baronet. 3. By 1620 Winslow was under-sheriff of Worcestershire; at that period such a position would rarely have been given a man who had no important families to call cousins. 4. Before 1635 he was well liked by Thomas, Lord Coventry, who in 1620 had been M.P. for Droitwich, a native of Crome Dabitot, near the towns in which Winslow's ancestors had long lived." (This statement was made in a letter concerning the son Edward,

so probably was after the death of Edward, Sr.) "5. In 1647 Elizabeth Bosville, a lady of an aristocratic ancestry, was wife to Herbert Pelham of Bures, Essex, Esq., who in writing that year to John Winthrop, governor of Massachusetts Bay called Edward Winslow 'my cosen.' 6. In 1650 Lady Dorothy Hesilrige (Mrs. Pelham's aunt and cousin) styled herself Winslow's 'loving cosen.' In or before 1705, Archbishop Wake, 1657-1737, stated that Edward Winslow was 'a Gentleman of a Good Family in Worcestershire.' Considering the foregoing factors, it seems fair to state that while Kenelm Winslow was a yeoman, his son Edward was a gentleman. It appears that Edward's status may have derived from his mother." (Further conjecture as to the identity of his mother has not been substantiated.) Further in the article, "The will of Thomas Harton, dated 14 Sept 1620 and proved Dec. following includes under the heading 'Desperate Debts,' the following: 'Edward Winslowe some time under sheriff of co. Worcester, owes money for which I can get no payment as he has fled to

Ireland. Sir Henry Follett has my bonds for same. ... Possibly the indebtedness of Winslow derived from his having helped Simon Clarke and Charles Stamford, for Chancery Proceedings of 24 Oct 1611 show this answer to a bill of complaint of Richard Moore, gent.:

'Answer (only) of Edward Winslow: Subject Winslow was surety on a bond. Simon Clarke and Charles Stamford were principals' (Banks MSS, Rare Book Room, Library of Congress, red bound series, fo. 749)."

In NEHGR V. 122 pg 176 is the following: Edward Winslow "was first recorded as styled 'gent.' in 1600; he was probably undersheriff by 1607, when called upon concerning 'writings' in a lawsuit concerning the grammar school at Hartlebury, Worcs. From these clues it seems possible the elder Edward Winslow may have been undersheriff by 1600

and that he was chosen for that office by William Child, brother-in-law of Elizabeth Foliott, ... ; it was usual at that time for sheriffs to select undersheriffs from among their kinfolk."

Further on in the article it states that Edward had holdings in St. Andrew Holborn, Middlesex, in 1602, and still further that Thomas Gower, nephew of Elizabeth Foliott, ... bought in 1605 a salt boilery in Droitwich which he sublet to Edward Winslow. Mr. Hunt estimates that Edward of Droitwich died about 1630.

SOME SOURCES SAY EDWARD 'S PARENTS WERE KENELM WINSLOW AND ELIZABET FOLIOTT.

OTHER SOURCES SAY HIS MOTHER WAS CATHERINE BUCK ANOTHER OF HIS FATHER WIVES,

STILL OTHER SOURCES SAY HIS MOTHER WAS YET ANOTHER OF HIS FATHER KENELM'S WIVES MAGDALENE OLLYVER. WHAT MAKES THIS THIRD POSSIBLE MOTHER HARDER TO BELIEVE IS THAT THEN THE NAME OF EDWARD'S MOTHER WOULD BE ALMOST THE SAME AS THAT OF HIS WIFE MAGDALENE OLLYVER OR OLIVER.

KENELM WINSLOW Of Kempsey, England. Died 1607 in the parish of St. Andrew, County Worcester, England. In 1559, he purchased of Sir Richard Newport, an estate called "Newport's Place," in Kempsey, County Worcester. He had an older and very considerable estate in the same parish called "Clerkenleap." It was sold by his grandson, Richard Winslow, in 1650. MARRIED Catherine (Katherine). ONE SON: EDWARD WINSLOW (No. 6) He is the only child of whom we have knowledge, though his will indicates there were other children besides Edward. NOTE: It is interesting to note the carelessness about the spelling in those times, even ones own name, as the following examples indicate. In the will of Kenelm Winslow (No. 5), father of this Edward, in the body of his will he wrote his name "Kenelme Wynslowe," and his signature at end is "Kenelm Wynslo." The Parish Clerk at St. Peters, Droitwich, writes the name "Kenelme Wynsloe," sonne of "Edward Wynslowe." From [1]

Disputed Parents

It has been claimed, without sufficient evidence, that Kenelm Winslow was the son of William Winslow and Mary Bucke. The parentage of Kenelm Winslow is unknown, but plausible suppositions have been made about his family origin. For an overview of what is known and speculated, see [this website].

Kenelm Winslow[1]

Birth 1528 Droitwich, Worcestershire, England[2]

Christening 1528 Kerswell, Worcestershire, England[3]

Marriage 1550 Kempsey, Worcester, England[4][5]

married 1559 in Kempsey, Worcestershire, England

Husband: Kenelm Winslow

Wife: Catherine Bucke NOTE: Unproven

Child: Edward Winslow

Death 9 NOV 1607 Kempsey, Worcester, England[6]

Burial: 9 Nov 1607, St. Andrews, Kempsey, Worcester, Eng

His estates were "Clerkenleap" and "Newport Place". Probably had additional children. His will is dated April 14, 1607 and probated November 9, 1607.

Research Note and Disputed Wives

John C. Hunt first posited that Elizabeth Folliot may have been Kenelm's wife. This was within his hunt to understand the use of the term "cosen" between Winslows and others. He, himself, later "rejected the idea that Kenelm's wife was Elizabeth Foliot."[7] She should be detached.

Kenneth W. Kirkpatrick's article, NEHGR 154:79-108, in 2000 suggests that the simplest solution to Hunt's project (to explain the use of "cosen" between Gov. Edward Winslow and others) is to make Kenelm's wife one of the older daughters of Sir Guy Fulke, not mentioned in Sir Guy's will, because they had already been taken care of (and because the will appears to have been written when he was a bit distraught).[7]

Has anyone else seen this? Appears plausible and would say that the X Greville may be a Katherine or Elizabeth Greville, or even Blanche. Though is speculative, is better than the Bucke guess.

Sir Guy Greville's children are not all known by name and it cannot be assumed that, if not named in his will, they do not exist. Kirkpatrick demonstrates this with contemporary evidences of wills that do not include all children. Secondly, he finds credence for Sir Guy's having 7 sons and 8 daughters in two places: (1) the crypt in which he is buried pictures his offspring as 7 sons and 8 daughters, (2) reference in Bindoff's book The House of Commons 1509-1558 which credits Sir Guy with 7 sons and 8 daughters (though this may be based on the crypt as well). The last point is that the older daughters' marriages may well not be recorded due to their early dates.

Notes

Kenelm Winslow’s wife was either his mother's niece, or perhaps, a daughter of Fulke Greville and Elizabeth Willoughby. See “The ‘loving cosens’: Herbert Pelham. Sir Arthur Hesilrige, and Gov. Edward Winslow” by Kenneth W. Kilpatrick, NEHGS 154 (2000), 78-108.

Origins of the Winslow Family

The lineage of the name Winslow begins with the Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. It is a result of when they lived in Buckinghamshire. The family name Winslow is derived from the Old English personal name Wine, meaning friend, and the Old English word hlaw, meaning hill or mound, and means that the original bearer of the name lived near a hill owned by someone name Wine.

The surname Winslow was first found in Buckinghamshire, at Winslow, today a market-town and parish, and the head of a union, in the hundred of Cottesloe with a population today of about 4,500. The town dates back to 795, when it was listed as Wineshlauu as land given by King Offa to the Abbey of St. Alban's. Years later in the Domesday Book, it was listed as Weneslai, land held by the Bishop of Lisieux and at that time was in the Murley Hundred and the manor there belonged to the Church of St. Alban.

Apart from being the source of this distinguished family's heritage, the market-town and parish of Winslow was well known in the 1800s for another reason which would be quite out of place today. "The white poppy was so successfully grown here, in 1821, as to produce 60lb. of opium, worth at least £75, from four acres, and 143lb. in the next year from eleven acres; for which, on both occasions, the prize of 30 guineas was awarded by the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce."

Winslow Spelling Variations

Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Winslow has undergone many spelling variations, including Winslow, Winselow, Winsloe and others.
