Edmund Winston was born in 1745 in Hanover County, Virginia, the youngest of three known children and the only son of William Winston.
On 27 October 1771, when he was in his later twenties, he married Alice Winston. She bore him five known children, two sons and three daughters:
George Winston m. Dorothea Henry dau. of Patrick Henry; issue, James a distinguished lawyer and politician of Mo. , (died in 1852 .)
Sarah Winston m. Dr. George Cabell .
Alice Winston m. Frederick Cabell .
Mary Winston m. Mr. Jones of Buckingham .
Edmund Winston m. Eliza Wyat .
: On 11 June 1802, when he was in his later fifties, he married the widow of Patrick Henry, Dorothea Dandridge, in Charlotte County Virginia.[2]
In 1813, when he was in his late sixties, Edmund died of unknown causes in Albemarle County, Virginia.

Judge of the General Court of Virginia, was a first cousin of Patrick Henry, under whom he studied law, whose joint executor he was, and whose widow he married. He was the son of William Winston and grandson of Isaac and Mary (Dabney) Winston. Isaac, William, and James Winston emigrated from Yorkshire, England, in 1704, and settled near Richmond, Virginia. From them have descended the distinguished Winston family, whose ramifications include nearly every family of worth in the Southern States. Edmund Winston wore the ermine worthily. He was a sound lawyer, and his character was spotless. He died in 1813, aged more than four-score. A number of his descendants reside in Missouri.[3]
