Isaac Davis, Sarah Winston Davis' husband, was one of the early Magistrates of Albemarle County and was one of the gentlemen volunteers who marched to Williamsburg on July 11, 1775, under Lieutenant George Gilmer who said, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson: "Old Isaac Davis marched at the head of his troops, is an indication of the determined and zealous spirit that animates the people".

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Sarah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Sarah:
What record or document puts the maiden name of Sarah as WINSTON? The paragraph in this above biography acknowledges no proof remains - William Winston (II) had only 4 sons & no daughters.
Might I suggest that WINSTON be removed from her profile & new research into Sarah Elizabeth's surname be launched.
Isaac Winston and Mary Dabney are not the parents of this Sarah. Their Sarah married first, John Syme and second, John Henry. She was the mother of Patrick Henry.
Might I suggest that WINSTON be removed from her profile & new research into Sarah Elizabeth's surname be launched.
