The materials in this collection measure 1.68 linear feet. There are no restrictions on the materials. Single photocopies of unpublished writings in the James Winchester Papers may be made for purposes of scholarly research. SCOPE AND CONTENT The papers of General James Winchester, numbering approximately 1,100 items and two volumes, contain accounts (bills, notes, receipts), personal and military; correspondence; land records including claims, records, deeds, grants, papers dealing with Memphis land surveys and commissions, court minutes, summonses, etc. Correspondence, mainly James Winchester’s incoming (1793-1825) and outgoing (1796-1826), comprises about half the collection. In addition to the military correspondence, a great portion deals with land speculation. The largest number of letters from any one man to Winchester is that of Judge John Overton, who, apart from being Winchester’s confidant and friend, was his partner in land dealings. There are 116 pieces of correspondence with Overton, and these are primarily on the subject of Memphis lands as Winchester, Overton, and Andrew Jackson were extensively involved in the establishment and early growth of the community.

He began, in 1802, the study of law, with the late Judge Thomas S. Williams, of Hartford, then a resident of Mans- field ; but the death of his brother threw upon him the care of his father's store, and led him to relinquish his law studies. During his long life he several times represented his native town in the State Legislature, was for a period of six years Judge of Probate for the district of Mansfield, for twenty years Post Master at Mansfield Center, and for thirty-five years Justice of the Peace, holding the latter office until he reached the age of seventy years, the limit fixed by the law of the State.
