Francis Donnell Winston papers, 1828-1943 (bulk 1890-1939) [manuscript].

The earliest papers are Winston and Kenney family letters which seem to have survived by chance. Included are commissions, orders, etc., 1863-1882, of Dr. S. B. Kenney, Winston's father-in-law. The bulk of the papers date from the 1890s through the 1930s and consist of F. D. Winston's correspondence relating to his law practice and experiences as a judge, Democratic Party politics and his own campaigns, Masonic and Episcopal Church activities, University of North Carolina alumni activities, Windsor and Bertie County community affairs and history, genealogical inquiries in connection with the Winston and other Bertie County families, and miscellaneous writings.
