Biographical History
George Winchester, a native of Massachusetts, moved to Natchez, Mississippi, around 1820, and became a prominent attorney, politician, Mississippi Supreme Court justice (1826-1829) and state senator (1836-1837). His nephew Josiah Winchester joined him in his Natchez law practice around 1835 and later became a judge. In 1846 Josiah married Margaret G. Sprague, a daughter of Frances E. Sprague and Sturges Sprague, a former law partner of George Winchester. Twelve children were born to the Winchesters.
