"There is a grant of 1785 acres of land October 21, 1687, to Mr. Robert Woodson, Mr. Richard Ferris, Mr. Giles Carter, William Ferris,and Roger Comins, at White Oak Swamp, on the north side of the James River, in the parish of Varina. Robert Woodson, in 1707, made a deed to his grandsons, William Lewis, Jr. and Joseph I.ewis." (Wm. & Mary Qtly., V. IX, p. 255.) The date of his death is not known, but it was shortly after making this deed, as he was about seventy-three years old at that time. It is not positively known what public service he rendered the colony but living as he did, at a time when every man had to bear his share of the public burden, it is confidently believed that, as a citizen and a member of the colony, he was faithful in the performance of his duty, as his descendants have ever been. In some publications he is frequently spoken of as Colonel Robert Woodson. If he held the military rank of colonel, it was of course by authority of the British government, as the entire colony was under British control at that time.

The first person of this surname in Henrico County, Virginia, is that of Richard Ferris. Robert Hollom obtained a patent in Henrico Co., on 2 June 1636 for the transportation of twenty persons, one of whom was listed as Rich. Ferris1.This Richard Ferris1 must be the father of Elizabeth Ferris who married Robert Woodson, about 1656, on the north side of the James River.The close association with the Woodson family is evident for several generations.From the association of Robert Woodson with Richard Ferris2, we assume that Richard Ferris1 was the father of Richard Ferris2.

Richard married Sarah Hambleton. Sarah was born Est 1600; died Yes, date unknown, Curles, Henrico Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet]
