Petition for Edmund & Dorothea Winston
Wills
Henry, Patrick, 1736-1799
Winston, Dorothea Dandridge Henry, 1757-1831
Digital reproduction of the Petition for Edmund & Dorothea Winston held as Manuscript 2060 at Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, Virginia.
The handwritten document is a portion of a petition filed in 1817 by attorneys Leigh & Anthony on behalf of Edmund & Dorothea Winston against the executors of Patrick Henry's estate.
Dorothea Dandridge married Patrick Henry in 1777 and survived him.
A condition of his 1799 will stipulated that she would forfeit her inheritance upon remarriage.
Dorothea married Judge Edmund Winston in 1802. Edmund Winston was Patrick Henry's first cousin and an executor of his estate. Following the Winstons' marriage, a lawsuit was brought against the couple, which delayed probation of Henry's will.
