Winfield Family

Little is known of the history of John B. Winfield.  We know that he was born in North Carolina 1780-1790.  By the early 1800's he was living in the Abbeville District of South Carolina.  The "History of Lowndesville, SC" relays the following information:  "After the death of Samuel Hutchison, his widow, Elizabeth Hutchison, married second to John B. Winfield. They possibly had children. He had children by a prior marriage. They seem to have gone west to Mississippi."  We know nothing concerning most of their children, except for the sex and age brackets shown on census records.

His son, James Kennedy Winfield, was born 1812 in South Carolina.  J. K. resided there, marrying his Anderson Co, SC sweetheart Sarah Sherard, until after the death of his father.  He then moved to Perry Co, AL, where relatives obviously lived.  This author has found several Winfield's in that area, but has not yet proven the relationship.  The family resided in Alabama until 1853, when they moved West to Mississippi with a group of friends and neighbors.  The "History of Leake Co, MS" relays a history of the move.  Based on the place names mentioned, it appears that James Kennedy Winfield did not join the wagon train until they reached Alabama:  "Traveling from North Carolina and Georgia, by way of Alabama, in 1853, fifteen families moved west. They set out with their families on ox-drawn Bow frame covered sheet wagons. They landed in Neshoba County, after looking over the surrounding country. They moved twenty miles farther west, into Leake County, to enter public lands which were open for them to choose. They settled in Madden. W.W. Thomas was their leader. His father was John Thomas."

James Kennedy Winfield spent the remainder of his life in Neshoba Co, MS, near the Leake County line, and is buried in Old Carolina Presbyterian Church Cemetery.
