BARKSDALE.
1789, July 21 - Will of Nathaniel Barksdale, Sr.
"My wife Mourning," to whom he left four negroes, &c. "To my son, William, five negroes; to son, Peter, four negroes (three now in his possession); to son, Nathaniel, two negroes (now in his possession); to son, Elisha, land and negroes; to daughter, Fanny, a negro and fifty pounds; to daughter, Betty, a negro and fifty pounds; to daughter, Sally, a negro and fifty pounds; to Sukey, my youngest daughter, two negroes and fifty pounds; to my son Peter's oldest son, Nathaniel, one negro." Will probated November 23, 1793.
The name "Mourning" has called forth much comment from various genealogists, and is supposed to have been given as the result of sorrow or calamity, but having seen it recorded in so many families in Virginia, and running through so many generations in families, besides having found it a family name in England and in Henrico county, Virginia, we are forced to conclude that it is in most cases a family name.
Robert Adams, of Goochland county, Va., who made his will in 1738, proven June 17, 1740, names his wife "Mourning," and the will of John Johnston, recorded in Amelia county March 23, 1772, makes his grandson, "Mourning" Johnston, one of his legatees.
Halifax county records a "Mourning" Watkins (the posthumous daughter of Micajah Watkins, Jr.), and there was a "Grief" and "Mourning" Randolph, sorrowful twins, for some descendants to wonder the why and wherefore of such woeful appellations to be borne through a lifetime.
May 5, 1823 - Will of Peter Barksdale.
"Wife, Nancy; son, Nathaniel; son, Armestead; my daughter, Susannah Sydnor; daughter, Polly w. Logan; daughter, Frances (deceased), wife of William M. Williams; my son, Elisha Barksdale; my daughter, Elizabeth Baker; my son, William Peter Barksdale. One-eighth part to each child.
(Signed) "Peter Barksdale."

BARKSDALE.
The first record of the Barksdale family found in this county is the will of Nathaniel Barksdale, who married Mourning Dickerson. His will was recorded July 21, 1789, in which he left a goodly estate to be divided among his eight children ? four sons and four daughters and wife Mourning (see will). His eldest son, Peter Barksdale, married Elizabeth Watlington, January 11, 1781, and their son, Nathaniel Barksdale, married in 1805 Patsy Hurt (they were married by Rev. Robert Hurt, a distinguished Baptist minister of the well-known ministerial family of Hurts).
Their son, Elisha Barksdale, Jr., married Judith A. Barksdale, October 22, 1835, and their son, the subject of this sketch, William Randolph Barksdale, born 1849; married first Miss Hallie Bailey Craddock.
They had the following children:
William Randolph Barksdale, Jr., married Miss Mary Jane Moran.
Fannie Poindexter Barksdale, married first Mr. H. Vaughan. Their children are Henry, Frances, Catherine, Bird and Barksdale. She married, second, Mr. Edward C. Craddock.
Charles Craddock Barksdale, married Miss Avis Walker Grant.
Elisha Barksdale, married Miss Rose McWane.
Louise Jasper Barksdale, married Mr. Tucker Carrington Watkins, Jr., son of William J. Watkins and Elizabeth (Coles) Watkins, of Charlotte county. William J. Watkins was a son of William M. Watkins, of Charlotte, and Elizabeth W. (Venable) Watkins (daughter of Col. S. W. Venable, of "Springfield"). William M. Watkins was a son of Joel Watkins, proverbial for his honesty, integrity and piety, and Agnes (Morton) Watkins, of Charlotte county. (See Watkins.) Mr. Tucker Watkins? ancestors belong to Charlotte county, but for many years he has been a progressive, eminent and conspicuous citizen of South Boston, where he has a beautiful modern home, but being a controlling member of the Co-operative Tobacco Association, he, with his family, are living pro tem. in Richmond, Va. They have three children: (1) William, (2) Tucker, (3) Mary.
Helen Barksdale married Mr. John Martin, a prominent lawyer of Halifax. He is the son of Miles Macon Martin and Edmonia Blair (Read) Martin (born at "Ingleside" November 23, 1851). She is the daughter of William Watkins Read and Pauline E. (Carrington) Read. Born at "Retirement" October 22, 1825. Miles Macon Martin is the son of Rev. Alexander Martin and Elizabeth (Macon) Martin.
Mary Own Barksdale.
Alfred Dickerson Barksdale.
John Craddock Barksdale.
Judge Barksdale married for his second wife Miss Virginia Douglas Watkins, sister of Mr. Hal Watkins, superintendent of public schools for this county.
Judge Barksdale was born in Halifax county near Meadsville. He attended Powell?s school at the Court House and at Leighwood, taught by Mr. John Henry Powell, father of the celebrated John Powell, pianist. In 1870, he took the M. A. degree at the University of Virginia and began the practice of law the following year. Was made judge in 1874.
The Barksdales are professional and educational people, and have always been prominent in the progress of the county. They have been considerable land and slave owners, and their influence in politics and religion is well established, Judge Barksdale being a representative member of the Baptist denomination in this county.
In the Land Office, Richmond, Va., we find one John Barksdale, subaltern of Continental line three years. He received a land grant for 666 2-3 acres issued to William Barksdale, his heir. This John Barksdale was dead in 1784. The Revolutionary war roster for Virginia gives Nathaniel Barksdale, (auditor?s account), Peter, Joseph, John, Daniel, Claiborne and Samuel Barksdale. So we find them representative fighters as well as adjusters of the law.
The family is extensive by virtue of intermarriage with many of the leading people of the county, and the kinship, though interesting, is difficult when it comes to connecting the various lines.

Nathaniel Barksdale, s/o William
The Nathaniel Barksdale plantation was the site of what is now called Nathalie. Nathaniel Barksdale was born about 1723 in Hanover, Virginia. He was the son of William who was born about 1675 in Charlotte County, Virginia. Shown on the map to the right is the location of two Barksdale plantations. The E. Barksdale plantation was likely that of Colonel Elisha Barksdale, son of Nathaniel. The crossroads was referred to as Barksdale Corner.
Early records of this community mention "one Baptist house of public worship and a sabbath school". Established in 1773 by Samuel Harris, the first Catawba Baptist Church was a log building just across the road from the present church.
