- One thing that endears Henry Watkins, to me, is his disbursement of his lands to his children prior to his death. He mentions his love for his children when he gave land to each of his sons on the south side of Chickahominy Swamp in 1691/2. The tradition of primogeniture was still common in the early colonies. However, by making a will you could distribute your property as you saw fit. Henry went even further than this when he partitioned his land to his sons prior to his death. I feel it showed a great deal of confidence in the ability and integrity of his sons.
In January 1691/2, he gifted, "With love and affection," the following to his sons:
William: 120 acres next to Edward Finch
Joseph: 120 acres ?in the lower part?
Edward: 120 acres ?in the lower part?
Henry (Jr.): ?the tract where I now live?
Thomas: 200 acres on ?Three Runs?

Good morning, Mary Frances,
Here's what I've uncovered on your quest for info on Elizabeth Watkins Woodson.
1) Robert Woodson Jr. b 1660 Henrico Co. VA, son of Robert Woodson Sr & Elizabeth Ferris, married 1st Sarah Lewis and had a daughter named Elizabeth. After Sarah's death, Robert Jr. married Rachel Watkins and had a daughter named Elizabeth, also. This 2nd Elizabeth MIGHT have a middle name of Watkins since her mother carried the surname of Watkins. No documentation yet.
2) Obadiah Woodson b 1712 in Henrico Co. VA, son of Richard Ferris Woodson and Ann Smith, grandson of Robert Woodson Sr & Elizabeth Ferris, married Constance Watkins. I'm searching now to find children for them, but since the Woodson family very strictly seems to have carried on the tradition of naming patterns, I'm hoping to find an Elizabeth as a daughter who might have the middle name of Watkins.
Any other hints you can give me in my search will help.
Benjamin Woodson Jr, b 1692 in Henrico Co, VA, son of Benjamin Woodson Sr & Sarah Porter married Elizabeth Watkins, dau of Thomas Watkins of Swift Creek, Goochland, VA
Joseph Woodson, b 1694 in Henrico Co, VA, son of Benjamin Woodson Sr & Sarah Porter, brother to above Benjamin Jr, married Susannah Watkins, dau of the above Thomas Watkins.
Benjamin Sr. was the son of Robert Woodson Sr. & Elizabeth Ferris
