  [S100] Internet Source, http://www.tidewatervirginiafamilies.com/watkins.html. Two daughters of John Watkins left surviving records. Lucy Watkins married William Perkins, a son of Constantine and Anne Pollard Perkins of Henrico County. They lived on land in Albemarle County which would be included in Buckingham County in 1761. Constant (not Constance, as many chroniclers assert) was named in her father's will in 1743 as "Constant Woodson". She had married Obadiah Woodson, a son of Richard and Anne Smith Woodson of Henrico County. A child, Obadiah, was born circa 1735. In March 1740/41, Obadiah, joined by his wife "Constant Woodson" sold some land in Goochland County. Obadiah Woodson was a land dealer, acquiring great tracts of unsettled land. In September 1766, he made his will in Prince Edward County, leaving to "Constant my dearly beloved wife this plantation whereon I now live" and he appointed her to be executrix. In July 1773, "Constant Woodson" made her will there. It was probated the following November.
