Anthony Winston (November 17, 1750 – December 20, 1828) was an American military officer, politician and planter.[1] About two decades after the death of his father of the same name, in Buckingham County, Virginia (which this man represented in the Virginia General Assembly both before and after the American Revolutionary War), he and his brothers moved to what became Mississippi Territory and later Alabama Territory, where several descendants continued the family's military, plantation and political traditions.
