re: a granddaughter of Geddes Winston married a Tinsley. Speaking of Tinsley............... http://image.vtls.com/VHI/html/13/0272.html is a link to "The War Experience of Mrs. S. G. Tinsley (nee Fannie Gaines d/o Dr. Wm. F Gaines)" from the Virginia Historical Inventory (part of the Digital Collection of the library of Virginia) The home page for the digital collections is: http://www.lva.lib.va.us/dlp/index.htm For all of those who may not be aware of the web site, the Library of Virginia is hard to beat when it comes to online research (free, too!). It is the next best thing to being in a library if, like me, you like to browse in a library.
