"I also have a copy of a book called "Woodsons and their Connections" Henry Morton Woodson 1915. It was in the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
On page 25 it says "Richard, [Woodson] born about 1662, at Curles in Henrico County, married Anne Smith, daughter of Obadiah Smith. In 1729 he made a deed to James Hambleton, for land in Henrico, being part of a tract granted to his father Robert Woodson in October 1704. As he was about 67 years old at the time of making this deed, he probably died within a few years thereafter."
Then he listed the children as such:
i. Richard, Jr.4 (Richard3, Robert2, John1) born about 1690 in Henrico. Arriving at the age of young manhood, he located in Goochland where he
patented and otherwise acquired such immense tracts of land that he came to be known as "Baron" Woodson, He later built his home "Poplar Hill" in Prince Edward, Co. He was married in about 1715 to Anne Madeleine Michaux, daughter of Abraham Michaux and Susanne Rochette, Huguenots who had settled at Manikin Town in 1701. (You should also check those names on Google search. Their story is amazing. There is still a church in Manikin Town, VA with plaques with their names on it.)
ii. Obediah - born about 1712 in Henrico married in 1734 to Constance Watkins, daughter of John Watkins "the Tray Maker." Obediah held the rank
of captain and commanded a company of militia as shown by a letter addressed to him by Gov. Dinwiddie and found in the Virginia Historical Collection, (Dinwiddie Papers).
iii. John born about 1697 in Henrico and married probably about 1720 to Elizabeth Anderson, dau. of Thomas Anderson of Hanover County.
iv. Elizabeth born about 1699 in Henrico where it appears she spent her entire life. She was twice married first to Thomas Morton about 1718. He
died in 1731 and his will was proved "First monday in April, 1731," and names wife Elizabeth and 5 children. On Sep 20, 1740 Elizabeth Woodson
Morton of Henrico, made a deed to her children, Thomas Morton, John Morton, Ann Morton, Judith Morton and nephew Samuel Morton, brother to Joseph
Morton. It was after making this deed that she was married, second to Edmond Goode.
v. Judith born about 1703 in Henrico, was married about 1722 to Jacob Michaux son of Abraham Michaux & Susanne Rochette, Huguenots of Manikin Town in Goochland Co. Jacob Michaux was born in Amsterdam, Holland in 1700.
vi. Mary, born about 1707 in Henrico and was married to Richard Truman.
vii. Agnes born 27 Feb 1711 in Henrico and died 10 Mar 1802. She was married about 1730 to Joseph Morton who was born 1709 and died 28 June 1782. He settled at Little Roanoke Bridge in Charlotte Co., Virginia about 1745; was a surveyor by occupation and secretary to Mr. Randolph. He was founder of Briery Presbyt. Church, was first ruling elder and first trustee. Was trustee visitor and manager of Hampden Sidney College; justice of the peace of Charlotte Co., 1769 and member of the committee of safety in Charlotte
Co., Feb 1775. (See Foote's Sketches of Virginia, Vol. I & II) This Joseph Morton was a nephew of Thomas Morton who married Elizabeth Woodson.
The book lists the children of John4 Woodson (Richard3, Robert2, John1) and Elizabeth Anderson as:
i. Anderson Woodson m. Ann Lackland
ii. John Woodson married Martha Tanneway
iii. Anne Woodson married Moore Lumpkin
iv. Druscilla Woodson married William Walker
