He graduated at Brown University, in 1795.
He was an eminent lawyer and settled in Hanover, Mass. His health was delicate from his earliest years. He went to Natchez, Miss., for a change of climate about the year 1818. While there he took a partner in the law. He had in his possession a large amount of property belonging to a party for whom he had collected it and for which his father. Dr. Isaac Winslow and two brothers-in-law, Hon. Kilborn Whitman and Capt. Thos. Dingley, were bondsmen. He died very suddenly, and the agent who went on to arrange his affairs could find neither partner nor property. The responsibility was then thrown back upon his bondsmen, and thus the Winslow House and Estate, with its time-honored memories and associations, passed away from the possession and the name of Winslow. He died at Natchez, Miss., and was there buried, Aug. 24th, 1822, aged 42 years.
