| | Magazine Antiques: Careswell - history of Winslow House, Marshfield, Mass |
 | | By 1640 Winslow and the other property owners in Green's Harbor wheedled, cajoled, and bullied the Massachusetts General Court (legislature) to be allowed to create a new township within the colony separate from the town of Plymouth. |
 | | The weight and continuity of Winslow family tradition and the conflation of house and estate going back to 1632 can be seen in the fact that Isaac's new house, built after Governor Edward Winslow and Governor Josiah Winslow were long dead, was still referred to as "the governor's house" two generations later. |
 | | As in the earlier case of Josiah Winslow and his dowager mother, Isaac's stepmother, Bethiah Barker Johnson Winslow (1751-1790), whom his father had married after his first wife's death in 1772, probably continued to live in the house until she died in 1790. |
