Our branch of the Watkins family came over to early Jamestown. My parents, Marguerite and Gordon Watkins have the records. MargWat@@aol.com There were a number of early Quakers in colonial Virginia. Going back through a female ancestor, many of the Watkins are directly descended from Pocahontas through her son by John Rolphe.

Carol Watkins, MD

According to Stutesman, there is no evidence connecting this Henry Watkins to the James Watkins who came to Jamestown in that settlements first Winter 1607/08, even though it is common for VA Watkins to claim such a connection. We find him first, a landless man, in the middle 1600's in Henrico County, VA. He struggled there for a half century to aquire land so that his sons would have a better start. He took a dangerous stand for persecuted Quakerism. Virgina law, with some variations during the 17th century, provided 50 acres "headright" for everyone who came to settle in the colony, or to the person who paid for the transportation of the settler. In June 1664, a grant of land in Henrico County was made to "Mr. John Beauchamp and Mr. Richard Cocke SR.",for their importation of 60 people including Henry Watkins. This is not absolute proof that Henry didn't come from the Jamestown Watkins because land developers in those days were often dishonest, and names of men born in VA often appeared on headrights lists. The names of 60 people appearing on the 1664 list also appeared on the 1652 grant list submitted by Richard Cocke. Richmond stands at the falls of the James River, the limit for travel of salt water vessels. In 1673, Augustine h Herman's map of the area shows only 16 white inhabitations above the site of Richmond. In June 1679 the Henrico CountyCourt ordered Henry Watkins to fit out 3 men in hourse and arms it is proff that at this time he was a free landowner in the "Turkey Island District". There are court record that both Henry and his daughter Eliza held to the Quaker faith despite official persecution. Henry aquired a large piece of land near te western edge of settlement along the Chickahominy river and 60 acres near his old farm in the Turkey Island Creek watershed. On 25Jan1692 he divided it up between his five sons, William, Joseph, Edward, Henry, and Thomas, as a gift.
