We learn about Elizabeth WINSTON from the interesting circumstances of her sister, Sarah Winston.

This fairly solidly places sister Sarah and Elizabeth Winston among the children of Isaac Winston.

Another source follows:

Hutton, Mary & Marshall, Louise. "Seventeenth Century Colonial Ancestors of members of the National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century 1915-1975." 1984. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company Incorporated.
pg 18 - ". . . Bates, John (c1598/99- 1666) Va.; Elizabeth Winston. Landowner

And, backing into the data from her sister's family, we have this:
"Famous Kin:" Ancestry of Jesse James - which cites the following for the overall genealogy, indicating that Isaac Winston is a 7th Great-grandfather of Jesse James:
 Beamis, Joan M. and William E. Pullen, Background of a Bandit: The Ancestry of Jesse James, 2nd Edition, (1971), 46, FamilySearch.org (Online Database).

I'm presently reviewing "Background of A Bandit: The Ancestry of Jesse James," and will update if a source emerges confirming Elizabeth (and Sarah) as daughters of Isaac Winston (II). 

Note also that Sarah Winston does not have Isaac assigned as a father, which seems to be something that can be remedied with the above documentation.

In the Jesse James text, (Elizabeth's sister) Sarah and their father Isaac, are mentioned:

"It is said that John Woodson married Sarah, daughter of Isaac Winston, of either Dorsetshire or Devonshire, England. ([Citing] "Payne Bible, No. 38-180, Manuscript Division Alderman Library, University of Virginia). Pitman [Americans of Gentle Birth] says John came from Dorsetshire."
