INTilUDCCTOIlY NOTE,

I have endeo-vored, as occasional leisure and opportu-

nity would allow me to indulge my curiosity, co ascertain

,the names and history of my paternal kindred. Theannexed catalog'ie is one of the results of my inquiries.

[t is mainly designed to be a register of the names f)f the

descendants of Thomas Watkins, of fhickahomony, (mypaternal grandfather) and of his youngest brother, Benja-

min VVatkins, of Chesterfield, and is printed only for cir-

culation among my friends. 1 regret that I have not beenable to learn the descendants of the brothers and sisters

. of these ancesrors, but hope that this information may be

obtained at some future time. I have supposed that someinterest would be imparted to this paper, by recording a

few of the mnmorials of the virtues nnd history of some of

our ancestors, a?id I have therefore prefixed this intro-

ductory note.

The extremely migratory charficter of the early settlers

of Virginia, am] che absence of parish, and even of family

registers, render success in genealogical investigations, al-

most impossible, These fMCts will, in part, account for the

defects and imp*-^rfections of this paper; and ! do nc->t knov/

that my own note? would have gone to the printer except

, that i am induced fo believe. aiid hope from the encour-

aging interest 'vhicli some of my kinsmen have manifested

in my humble elfort to preser\-e the memory of at least the

«^z."/c'.y of the kindred, that the information necessary t(.

• complete the catalogue and notes may be hereafter fur-

nish.ed. anci ihe defects in the papf^r f>e supplied, and its

'-': errors corrected in a future edition.

The tradition that the Watkins family is of Welsh ori-

gin is, T doubt not, authentic: and I h.ive nsccrtained oneor two facts, wfiicw induce me to believe tliat our ances-

tors \vcre, as 1 have often heard, tray-viakers. The earliest

record of the name 1 meet wich is th.at of Jairie.s Watkins,

i 'labourer.' (see r Smitli's flist, of Va.. p. i72W>ne of tla.^

alogue. I regret that I have iv-.'. been .ible to ascertain

the connection.

Dr. Foote in his "Sketches of Vh.,'" (p. J 38) rc-feis to a

]")resentment made in 1743 bv the Grand Jury of the then

C»eneral Court of Virginia, of erne ThoiTias \\'.'-.ikin3, -.r,'!

of Kdward Watkins, of the parish and Couniy of ii/.riccs

for reflecting on the Established Religion.' It may be

that the tarly records of the General Court, or some of the

('ourts of <"he Eastern counties, (to which I have not hadaccess), might discover to us whether this Edward wasnot the grandfather of Tliomas of C'hickahomony rcterred

to below. •

'i'he common ancestor, from w hom tiiose mentioned in

the annexed catalogue sprung, wa.s Thomas Watkins. Here.^.idcd en Swift

,Creek, in Powhiitan County, \''irginia,

then Cumberland County. My only knov>ledge of him is

derived from his will, which was recorded from the CountyCourt of Cumberland at the ,Iune term of the Court in the

year 1760. and bears" date in March of ihe same year.

From that paper I ascertain thai he had son^ and daugh-ters as follows, viz,

^

1. SUSA^•^•AH WooD.^ON is mentioned b) the testator

as his daughter.

2. Mary WoobSON, v.dfe of John Woodson, of Gooch-

Of THOMAS WATKIN'S. 13

John Vlorris, of jllinois, and Mrri. Betsey Craig, of Ken-

tucky'.

V. BETSEY VVATKINS is supposed to have been the

oldest of the dau^^hters. vShe died before her father and

v/as not known to any of the present generation. Ali I

have been able to learn of her history from any of her^

descendants is, that she married Nathaniel Massie,'bf

Goochland, a most respected gentleman of high character,

who manifested in the early and eventful period of his

country's history, great patriotism. He held an office in

{he revohi*"ioT-ary arniy, ranking as Colonel. Sons of his

descendants have attained eminence in Ohio and the

West,. _

VI. SUSANNA WATKINS was the name of another

daughter, i-ihe married Col. \Vm. Morton, of Staunton

River, ('harlotte, on the 29th October, 1764. This excel-

lent woman i^ still rem.ymbered with great veneration and

affection by the old p'-ople of the countr}', and was be-

lovHd for her devoted piety, uniformly exhibited di'.ring a

long and consistent life. Distinguished for the **meek

and qniet spirit," .vhich so beautifully ndorned her life,

lier virtues siione m.jst conspicuously al Jiome, and to her

husband and children siie was of priceless value. iVut it

.Mrs. Morton had been a v/ovnan of no marked and dis-

tinctive character, th.e alliance with Col. Morton brought-

mucii honor to her name. He must have been an extra-

ordinary man. rie seems to have held som.e office, v/hile

a Vijung man, which called him occasionally to Williams-

burg, the then seat of government of Virginia. On one

of these jourr^eys, he called at the residence of Thomas'»\"atkins of Chickahomony. and the acquaintance uith his

daughter resulted in their marriage. He settled on the

Staunton River, at the plantation now (in KS52) occupied

bv his y-randson. He enlisted in the patriotic service of

his country, and exhibited muc/i ga!ianti-\ at the battle of

Guilford C. 11. lie was /ifter.vards a faithful nnd useful

justice of \\\{i I'eace in Charlotte County; and on one

occa>^ion refused to vote for the nomitiation to the execu-

tive of \'!rgin!a. for a militia olhcer to be commissioned as

a major, 'j'hc othcer demanded his reason; Col. M. told

14 A CATAi.OGUi: OV THE [)ESC'KM)ANTS

hirn, ''that when he ran at Guilford from the enemy's tire,

he {Col. M ) ///rtnvhi/ him back into the lines.'' A per-

.sonal dilliciilty was apprehended by the friends; atvd whensomeone anked the Colonel if lie did not feel some apprc-

Iien.sions for iiis safety, in makin*^^ so grave a charge, he

promptly replied, '•no, I th.rashed hitn once, and can do it

again it neces>ary." The charge caused n lawsuit; the

Colonel hnd son^e difTiculty in obtaining the proof of the

alleged slander, but \vhen he was full}' sustained by an old

soldier who 'A itncsscd the scene, the prosecution of the

suit vvas abandoned. Few men were held in higher venera-

tion and regard, 'oy all, young and old, tlian Col Morton;

and .mainly for his piety and benevolence, and for all these

high and ennobling virtues which make up and complete

tfie character of the "good citizens." As an evidence ot

his exceeding kindness of heart, no love of profits could

induce hirn to sell corn to the poor beyond the lowest

market price, during a season when, from great scnrcity

in the country, corn wa« commanding a very high price.

And at such times he liberally supplied the wants of the

extremely poor, without price. In fhe devfiof>ment of

wonderful sagacity of mind, Ctil. M. exceeded any man of

whom 1 have ever heard: and especially in ferreting out

crime. He vvas emphatically a "terror to e\'il doers,"

The various nnd authentic anecdotes of his r.kill, at tracing

others by * /njt^^/;/_.f' them, arc most vv'onderfu!. Among

the many facts which are lold of him in thi.s particular, I

mention one. A riding horse was stolen, while the con-gregation were engaged in public worship, on .some ncca-

-sion at Rriery ('hurcli. Col. Morton followed the track of

the horse into North Carolina; the thief evidently designedto prevent pursuit, if practicable, by often leaving; the

direct road; but he could n«>t evade the Cnjonel. Hepursued him, by following the horse's track, and withoutaid, he apprehended hinV The thief was brou^^lit back to

Virginia, and convicted and punished.

The Presbyterian church had few more useful, con-

sistent, and zealous, and wise members ttian Col, Morton;he wa.s, for a long period, a Ruling Elder of tliC denomi-nation.

Ol lllOMAS WATKINS. IS

Mrs. Morton died some years before her husbaiid. Verynumerous descendants survived thf-m; their children andj^rand children are among the most honorable and re-

spected in the commonwealth, vvhose useful lives illustrate

the benefits of the examples and counsels ol:' tht^ir excel-

lent ancestors.

VII. SALLY WATKINS was another daotjhter of

Thomas VVatkins of ("hickahomcrty- She married Capt..

j((hn Spencer, of Tharlotte. She too was eminent for herdevoted piety and sound sense. She led a very retired

and noiseless life, contr-nted at home, and devotii-CT hertime and attention to the training of her children. Howsuccessful she whs in accomplishing this f^ood wurk washappily iliustrated in the lives of iier children, two of

whom it haw been ruy good forfune to know, viz: ('apt.

Thomas Cole Spencer, who died some few years sincf

,

leaving to hin amiable famii}' a name synonymous with all

that is virtuous and good. • 1 have seldom known morereally kind hearted christian gentlemen than these tworespecct'd broti:ers. Tht-ir sisters emigrated to the South,carrying in good and honest hearts the seeds of holyu i.-^dom sown bv a mothers hand brin'nng forth in their

hv'cs the matured fruits of righteousness. •

VIFL MARY VVATKINS. another daughter, marriedMr. Stephen I'ankey, an Inspector of Tobacco at Man-chester. They died before most of the generation wa^born, and I have learned but few particulars of them.They were noted, for iheir affectionate regard to .Vlrs.

I'ap.key's relations; and Mr. Pankey enjoyed in an eminentdegree, the respect and confidence of rhe public. Theirdescendants reside ma'nly in .Arkansas, where they lead

useful and h^norMble lives, some of them having renderedefficient and value'.! service to their Commonwealth.

IX. NAMCY W.A.TKINS, another daughter, marriedMr. Smith Blakey. of Henrico,—a hij^hly honorable man,a ho by ;^reat industry and straightforward hone'^ty ac-

quired an am[jle fortune. He manifested great gener-osity and kindness to his wife's relatives, very liberally

aiddng seme of Uuur., and otherwise promoting (heir

interests. * He hn.d only two children; one of whom

J 6 A CATALOr.UE OF TIW.. I.HlSCFX DA>.TS

(ThonKis) was killed b)' ;^ fall from a Iiorse, the orlier.

(Gcot'i^e) left but few dcscentiants. The la^t son. in

miiny points of character, resembled his ancestors, and in

appearance and habits wos very much a 'W'atkins.'

X, JANE WATKINS was the name of another

(hui^htcr She married Charles Hundley. The only

member of this branch of the family whom I have ever

known, wp.s Joel Hundley, of Springheld, Kentucky, a

soldier in the late Mexican war, and a very worthy and

honest man, 1 hope, if the ('atHloj^ue ever goen to «i

second edition, that \.\\v defects in this note will be

supplied.

XI. PRUDENCE WATKiXS was the youngest child

of Thomas Watkins of ('hickahom;>ny, She married W'mRoyster, of Goochland,—a gentlcrnnn of great worth. Aii

I can learn of his wife is. that i^he was ^^reatly beloved byher kindred, and by all \vho knew her. It ha.s been mvgood fortune to have kno'.vn some of l:ier descendants, and

I regret that 1 do not know 'Jicm all.

To my kinsmen, let me sa\- in conclusion of this note, 1

respectfully dedicate this very huir.ble attempt to keepalive tlie remetr.brance of the names of the members ;tf (lie

various families with which \vc jire connected. 1 hopethsy will take the trouble to send me for a future edition,

corrections of the errors which ! know will be found in

these pages. I was dependent upon correspondence f!>r

much of the information attempted to be given, and no

doubt have made mistakes in transcribing names.

i will frankly confess that curiosity first yjrom.pted meto these investigations. I had often heard, thut there

was a m:irked resemblance, personal and intellectual,

betvv'pcn the vaJ'iou.s members of the family, and I desire

to ascertain the fact in relation to this allegation Thi.<;

little pam.pii'.c-t has cost me some labor and expense bur

i shall feel amply reinunerated, if it shall at all confirm

the truth of the inspired les.son, more wi.se than all that

human philosophy can teach, that, "a ,;n>(?i7 name is rather

to be chosen than great great riches."

every of his duties with a fidelity and ability equal to aii>

other man in V'irginia, and has won, by universal consent,

the title to that of "a just and upright Judge.''
