BENJAMIN WOODSON, SR.4

Benjamin Woodson, Sr., was the son of John3 and Mary (Tucker) Woodson. He was born ca 1693 in Henrico County, Virginia and died in 1778 in Fluvanna County, Virginia, aged about 85 years.

Benjamin Woodson, Sr. married, ca 1720, in Henrico County, VA. Francis Napier, daughter of Capt. Robert2 Napier and his wife Mary Perrin. Frances Napier was born 5, February 1694/95, in New Kent County, Virginia, and was last known to be living on 25 October 1777 in Fluvanna County, Virginia at the age of 82 years.

The Woodson’s and the Napiers were united for the first time in 1720 when both families dwelt in Henrico County, Virginia. It would have been impossible for Frances Napier not to know about the Woodson family, and conversely, we find it hard to imagine that Benjamin Woodson was not aware of Miss Napier. Their prominence in the affairs of the colony and the plantations indicates they may have known each other from some years and had a lengthy courtship. As facts on Capt. Robert2 Napier reveal, he had dealings at the courthouse at Varina, the old County Seat for Henrico County, as early as the 1690s before his own family was produced.

Benjamin and Frances was the first marriage between the two families, but it was not the last. Two of their own grandchildren, Elizabeth and Tabitha Woodson were married to two more of the Napier's a couple of generations later.

While Woodson was a lifelong inhabitant of Henrico, until it was subdivided and the plantation fell into Goochland County, Frances Napier was raised in several counties. It is probably correct to say she was born in New Kent, raised in King and Queen, King William and Henrico, and lived her married life in Goochland, Ablemarle and Fluvanna Counties, yet not to have moved from the place of her birth very far. Certainly, in the years from her marriage until her death in is probable that she never moved at all, living on the same land all the rest of here life.

The Woodson family first appears in the records if Goochland County, Virginia as far as our examination of records goes, in a deed of gift as follows:

To All people ... I, Adam Buttrey of Goochland County, Virginia, in consideration of the affection I beare unto my Godson Bouth Woodson, son of Benjamin & ffrances Woodson of the same County, ... for ¹10. paid by his ffather Benjamin Woodson ... 120 acres ... Dated 8 June 1734. Signed Adam "A" Buttrey his mark. Witnesses: Rene Napier, Patrick Napier and ffra: Woodson. This was proved at Court January 21, 1734/5 by the oaths of the witnesses before Henry Wood, clerk of the court.

The land was in trust for Booth Woodson since he was a minor at the time this instrument was written.

The next mention of this couple is in a scandalous case set before the County Court of Goochland in February Term, 1739. Patrick3 Napier and Rene3 Napier, with Frances, wife of Benjamin Woodson, all of Goochland, were charged with the kidnapping of Martha Claiborne, an orphan minor of Thomas Claiborne. She was, at the time of the alleged abduction, living with her sister and brother-in-law, Joseph and Frances (Claiborne) Thompson. Frances Woodson was found not guilty. Of course, the two Napier's involved where her brothers. No animosity seems to have resulted. A couple of years later, Martha Claiborne married to Patrick3 Napier, one of her accused abductors.

The Woodson’s lived long and saw many grandchildren. In his will, Benjamin, Sr. gave property to sons Benjamin, Jr., John, Rene and Patrick, and daughters Mary Perrin Fitzpatrick and Frances Anderson. He also remembered several grandchildren, including Elizabeth Booth Woodson, Benjamin and Joseph Fitzpatrick, and George and Benjamin Anderson. This will is dated 25, November 1777 and proved 3, September 1778 at Fluvanna Courthouse. He appointed his wife Frances Executrix and sons Benjamin, Rene and Patrick as Executors. He must have considered her able to carry out that work, and healthy enough for her age. However, she did not participate in the execution of the will after all and may have been ill by that time. Frances Napier Woodson left no will and no administration was taken out.

Children of Benjamin and Frances (Napier) Woodson:

1. Booth Woodson, born ca 1721, Henrico County, VA. died 1757, Goochland Co.; married Tabitha Cocke sister to Rebecca, wife of Benjamin 5 Woodson, Jr. No issue. Tabitha Cocke is said to have married second to John Winston, and had at least one child, Sarah Winston, Born 14, May 1761.

2. Benjamin5 Woodson, Jr. born ca 1725-30, Henrico Co., VA. and died 1808, Fluvanna County, VA. Married (1) Rebecca Cocke; married (2) Frances "Franky" Jordan.

3. Mary Perrin Woodson, born 1720s, still living in December 1786, married ca 1735-40, Joseph Fitzpatrick, son of William Fitzpatrick who is said to have come from Ireland about 1710. See Fitzpatrick Family for continuation of my husbands line.

4. Rene Woodson, born 1730s, Goochland County, VA. died 1817/18, Fluvanna Co., VA., married (1) 1758 Mary Thompson (she died shortly in or after childbirth 1759); married (2) 2, February 1775, St. James Northam Church, Martha Johnson, of Louisa Co., VA; (She survived him.) He was Commissioner of the Provision Law, Fluvanna, 1780-82.

5. Frances Woodson, born 1730s, Goochland Co., VA. living in 1778; married about 1752, George Anderson, born 1733, alive in 1800, Fluvanna Co., VA.

6. John Woodson, born 1740s, Goochland Co., VA. or Ablemarle, living 1800, Fluvanna Co., VA., married 20 March 1760, St. James Northan Church, Goochland Co., VA., Mary Mims.

7. Patrick Woodson, born 1740s, Goochland or Ablemarle, Co., VA., dead by 30, March 1722 when his estate Inventory was filed in Fluvanna Court. Married Nancy Cloof, she living 24 November 1823. His inventory was totaled at $10,788.50, including 47 slaves. Patrick Woodson, Sr., and Jr. are mentioned, and one Rene Woodson was paid for giving out whiskey at the sale.

Notes:

For best information regarding this family, see "DR. PATRICK NAPIER OF VIRGINIA. HIS ANCESTORS AND SOME DESCENDANTS', by Col. John H. Napier, III. Many descendants of Patrick attempt to associate him with the family of the Napiers of Merchiston, which is incorrect. Col. Napier's careful research has demonstrated his descent from the less well known Napier's of Kilmahew.
It seems that Patrick NAPIER, as an aspiring chirurgeon, was apprenticed, in Edinburgh, on 6 May 1649 to Alexander Pennycuik, chirurgeon. Pennycuik was surgeon to Sir Alexander Leslie's Scottish Troops who were defeated at the Battle of Dunbar by the army of Oliver Cromwell. And it seems that Patrick NAPIER emigrated to Virginia with other Scottish Royalists after the year 1650. He settled in Queen's Creek, Hampton Parish, York County, Virginia, as a planter and surgeon. On 25 March 1655, Peter Ford received 500 acres at Cacamount, Gloucester County, Virginia, for transporting ten persons to the colony, among whom Patrick NAPIER is listed. Patrick NAPIER became the proprietor of a 1500 acre plantation in Blisland Parish, New Kent County, Virginia. This plantation adjoined that of Major-General Mainwaring Hammond.

The following excellent summary has been copied and pasted from the internet and is the work of Charlie Napier, Morningside, Edinburgh, Scotland.

"THE NAPIERS OF KILMAHEW

"The first known documented reference to a Napier in Scotland is in two charters of Malcolm, Earl of Lennox, who lived at the end of the 13th century. This was John Napier, who was granted, by one of the charters, - "all that quarter lands called Kilmahew lying between Muydugwen and Archerreran." The full extent of these lands cannot be determined exactly at this time, but a "quarter-land" was usually a quarter of the area which could be tilled by an eight-oxen plough in a year, usually taken to be 104 Scots acres, thus a "quarter-land" was about 26 Scots acres (32.5 Imperial acres or 13.26 hectares). The ruins of Kilmahew Castle still stand on the north side of the present village of Cardross, which is four miles from Dumbarton on the Helensburgh road. Dumbarton itself lies 14 miles to the north-west of Glasgow. This John Napier was probably also the person listed in an Inhibition by Robert, Bishop of Glasgow, directed at Malcolm, Earl of Lennox, and his adherents, dated 24 August 1294. The present-day Cardross should not be confused with the Cardross where King Robert I (the Bruce) died in 1329, which is actually where the suburbs of Dumbarton, Castlehill and Kirktonhill, are today.

"Kilmahew takes its name from St Mahew (or Mochta), a companion of St Patrick, who has been adopted as the patron saint of Cardross. A small chapel has existed there, on a piece of land known as Kirkton of Kilmahew, since earliest Christian times. By the mid-15th century the chapel must have been in ruins because it is recorded that it was rebuilt in 1467 by the then Laird of Kilmahew, Duncan Napier, and rededicated on the Sunday after the Ascension of that year by George Lauder, Bishop of Argyll and the Isles. The chapel was not used after the Reformation and again fell into disuse. It was repaired and refurbished in 1955 and reopened and rededicated by Archbishop Donald Campbell of Glasgow (who was formerly Bishop of Argyll and the Isles), again on the Sunday after the Ascension. On that same Sunday in 1997, Colonel John Hawkins Napier III, of Montgomery, Alabama, USA, a direct descendant of Duncan Napier, took part in a service in the chapel to commemorate the 530th anniversary of the original rededication. Colonel John is the Lieutenant to the Chief, ie the head, of the Clan Napier in North America

"The 13th century John Napier was probably the person referred to as "Johan le Naper del Counte de Dunbretan" in the "Ragman Rolls", the document which records all the Scotsmen who were forced to swear homage to King Edward I of England between the years 1291 and 1296. As well as John Napier of Kilmahew, two other Napiers signed the "Ragman Rolls", "Matheu le Naper de Aghalek (del Counte de Forfare)" and "Johane le Naper ---(tenant le Roi du Counte de Pebbles)". This shows that there were other Napier families in Scotland at the end of the 13th century. So far, nobody has shown that they were related to the Kilmahew Napiers. In fact, nothing is known about these other families at this time.

"The above John Napier of Kilmahew is probably the same person who is listed as being one of the 26 defenders of Stirling Castle who was forced to surrender to King Edward I of England in 1304, and who is listed as a prisoner in Shrewsbury Castle from 23 August 1304 to Michaelmas 1305, and to whom the King ordered William de Bevercotes, Edward?s Chancellor of Scotland, to return his lands on 10 October 1305.

"There were 18 Lairds of Kilmahew until the last heir sold the last of the estate in 1820, diminished by having to be sold off to pay gambling and other debts incurred by profligate predecessors. The father of the last Laird emigrated to Virginia, USA. There were Napiers still living in Cardross in the latter half of the 20th century.

"The Kilmahew Napiers produced some very eminent men in the field of marine engineering during the 19th century. The most eminent, and probably the most successful, was probably Robert Napier (1791-1876). Called "The Father of Clyde Shipbuilding", he developed a new steam engine for ships which was so successful that between the years of 1840 and 1865, his firm furnished the entire Cunard fleet with engines. He was partnered in his business by his cousin, David Napier, also an eminent marine engineer.

"The Kilmahew Napiers also produced the ancestor of most of the Napiers presently in the USA. Mungo Napier (c1579-c1633), a Burgess of Dumbarton, went to London c1603. His son, Patrick, became barber (and chirurgeon) to King Charles I, and Patrick?s son, also called Patrick, was an apprentice to Dr Alexander Pennycuik, surgeon-general to the Scottish Army crushed by Cromwell at the Battle of Dunbar in 1650. Although it is not known how Dr Patrick Napier got to America, he was there probably about 1651, but certainly before 1658, practising medicine, together with his brother Valentine. However it is from Dr Patrick that most of the American Napiers are descended. Patrick was not the first Napier to go to the "Colonies". The first was probably George Napier, of Oxford, England, who was from a branch of the Merchiston Napiers who had gone down to England in Tudor times.

"There are two other branches of the Napier family in Scotland about which something is known, these are the Napiers of Wrychtishousis (Wrightshouses) and the Napiers of Merchiston, both in Edinburgh.

THE FIRST KNOWN DOCUMENTED REFERENCE TO A NAPIER IN SCOTLAND IS IN TWO CHARTERS OF MALCOLM,EARL OF LENNOX, WHO LIVED AT THE END OF THE 13TH CENTURY.

Ivan Napier's book on the Napier Family (1968), p. 35, states "Dr. Patrick Napier was born and educated
in Scotland, son of Robert Napier, and grandson of Sir John Napier, noted Mathematician, scholar, inventor. (He) immigrated to America in 1655, sponsored by Peter Ford, settled in Gloucester County, VA., and moved shortly to York County, VA." On p.34 the statement is made that Robert Napier (1580-1662) son of the Mathematician, "married Frances -- on November 13, 1595 (sic - at age fifteen!). Among their many children was a son, Dr. Patrick, immigrant to Virginia." As we have proven, nearly all of this is false.

As we shall see in our sketch, one Peter Ford patented 500 acres in Gloucester Co., VA., on 25 March 1655 using ten headrights to secure the patent. A careful reading of the patent (Book 3, p. 340, LDS film 029,308) shows that the headrights were assigned to Ford by Lieut. Colonel Abrall, who had been the assignee of one Captain John Underwood. It is possible that Peter Ford never saw Patrick Napier or any of the ten whose names he used to get the land, and did not need to do, to procure the patent. However, he may have met him in business later, since he appears often in the York County records, as do the names of Abrall and Underwood as well as Dr. Napier. From the wording of the patent, it seems that it was John Underwood who paid the passage of Dr. Patrick to America. At least, he was the first to have his name on a qualifying certificate for land.

There is no evidence at all that Napier ever set foot in Gloucester County, VA. The patenting of land in no way implies that those named in the headrights had to live in the county where the land was laid out.

Ivan Napier (p. 35) states that Patrick was born in 1610. This statement is adhered to in every case where the theory of lineage to John of Logs applies. We have never found a statement of Patrick's age. He could have been born that early. But this assertion must take second place to a younger age for the American immigrant. Patrick did not marry until after his arrival in Virginia. We have no evidence of a previous marriage for him. Before November 1658, he had wed Elizabeth Booth (or Bouth), daughter of Mr. Robert Booth, Clerk of the Court, member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, etc. by his wife Frances. Their names, apparently, furnished the given names of Napier's two children, Robert and Frances, not Robert Napier of Culcreuch, and a supposed wife Frances.

Elizabeth Booth Napier was born about 1637-1640. This age we establish from a deposition of 1668 by her mother Frances Bouth, then aged 49, giving 1619 as a year of birth for her, and estimating that Elizabeth was born when Frances was between 18 and 20. Elizabeth was living by 15, November 1641 when 50 acres were given to her as "daughter of Robert Bouth" (Tyler's Quarterly, XIV (1933) p. 181). Elizabeth might have married a man 27 years her senior, but this is unlikely. It would mean that he first fathered children at the age of fifty.

John H. Napier III prefers a much younger age for the Doctor, and so do we, as based on these facts: One Valentine Napier deeded a horse named "Fox" to the widow of Dr. Patrick Napier in 1669. He, like Patrick, was a physician, and lived in Kent County, MD. We find the baptism of one Vallentine Napyer (sic) son of Patricke and Joane Napyer, on 4 March 1626-27, in the church of St. Bride Fleet Street, London. The implication here is inescapable! (This name Valentine Napier, surfaced some generations later in the family of Robert 4 Napier (Robert3; Capt. Robert2, Dr. Patrick1). Add to that the marriage we located, in the register of the parish of St. Gregory by St. Paul London. "Patricke Napper and Joane Wallas (Wallace?) were married on 4, July 1628 by license from the Vicar General of London." Of course, if this Joane is the mother of the above Valentine, the marriage took place sixteen months after the christening of the child. Be that as it may (and it was often), we believe we have found the parentage of Dr. Patrick1 Napier, being Patrick Napier and Joan Wallas or Wallace, as above. Just because we have not yet found the baptism of a Patrick Napier in this same family does not mean we or someone else will not do so upon a diligent search. It should be remembered that people in London moved about quite a bit, being usually in some trade of other, and may not have christened all their children in the same parish church, or, indeed, in the city. Dr. Valentine Napier's sale of the horse was less than a week after the death of Dr. Patrick Napier. It helps us learn the time of the latter's death. It seems to imply a gesture of help to a sister-in-law. Valentine evidently was the elder, in fact the heir at law of Patrick Napier of London.

Might it not be the fact that most researchers were to dedicated to finding information about Dr. Patrick Napier in the Scottish records that they completely bypassed the British records and thereby missed the clues we have found? Yet, it is a fact that most of the immigrants to American colonies in the first part of the 17th century came from England, and a great portion of that number from London. This writer always starts a search for an American immigrant in the microfiche for London, thus proceeding to the other shires.

We also learned via letter of 14, October 1983 from the Keeper of Manuscripts, at the Guildhall Library, Aldermanbury, London, that one Patrick Napier, apprentice to William Hann, was admitted to the Barber-Surgeons' Company of London in January 1630/31 (Guildhall Library Ms 5265/1 folio 78). He was admitted by servitude, indicating previous practice under Hann. It is a pity that his father is not named! Additionally, in the same register, Archibald Napier, son of Patrick Napier, was admitted, by servitude, 26, December 1657!

If our Dr. Pat Napier were another child of Patrick and Joan, born circa 1630, there would be no quarrel at all with what we already know about him. He would have been about 25 when Ford obtained the patent, using Napier's name as a headright, about 5 to 7 years older than his wife, and about 39 at his death.

In his article in Vol. 15 of Historical Southern Families, p. 221 JHN has reported:

A certain Mungo Napier was burgess of Dumbarton before 1600, and his son Patrick was admitted to the same office on July 23, 1633. This Patrick was barber to King Charles I. of England, and his son Patrick, Jr. born between 1634-1639, was apprenticed to Sir Alexander Pennycuik on May 6, 1649. Dr. Pennycuik was surgeon to Sir Alexander Leslie's Scottish Troops, defeated at the Battle of Dunbar by the army of Oliver Cromwell. Subsequently Patrick Napier (the son) emigrated to Virginia with other Scottish Royalist after the year 1650.

JHN did not cite his references, but we later discovered one, and he has kindly supplied the other, both in the same set of volumes, The Scottish Record Society Publications, volumes 71 (1937) and 28 (1906).

The former, being the Roll of Dumbarton Burgesses and Guild Brethren, 1600-1846, on page 48, reads: Napier, PATRICK, barber, Burgess, by right of his father MUNGO Napier, Burgess, 23, July 1633. The latter, being The Register of Apprentices of the City of Edinburgh, 1583-1666, at page 136, shows: Napier, Patrick, son to PATRICK NAPIER, barber to King Charles I., with Alexander Pennycuik, chirurgiane, 9 May 1649. (In the latter, we are shown in the Preface that this entry is in original volume II. which goes from 12th January 1648 to 30th May 1666).

The Lt. Colonel also shows that, in the same series, Vol. 59, being the Roll Edinburgh Burgesses, 1406-1700 (pub. 1926), p. 398, under Pennycuik, reads: Alexander, Burgess, chirurgiane to his Excellency General Alexander Leslie (muskit), by act of Council of this date - 20 November 1640, and, we also noted, Alexander Pennycuick, Guild brother, chirurgian, Burgess of befoir, gratis, by act of Council 13 February 1650. (NOTE: The surname Pennycuik, or Pennycook, comes from a place in Scotland.)

JHN indicates that Leslie's Scots army was defeated by Oliver Cromwell at Dunbar, 3 September 1650, and puts 2 and 2 together, concluding that, if Alexander Pennycuik was the surgeon at Dunbar, so was his apprentice, Patrick Napier the Younger, there, and taken prisoner to be "sold to the plantations in America."

Both JHN and Edward D. Napier, Genealogist of Clan Napier of North America, Falls Church, VA. bring our attention to the following works: George Hillier, Narrative of the Attempted Escapes of Charles the First from Carisbrooke Castle (London, 1852), pp. 100-101; and Jack D. Jones, The Royal Prisoner (London, 1965), pp. 60,62. In these we learn that "one Napier (given name not shown)" attempted the escape of King Charles from his confinement in the castle in 1648, but failed, the King getting stuck in a hole which was prepared too small for his girth to maneuver. (The Public Record Office, Chancery Lane, London, has this record in its original form, to support the above statement.)

February 7, 1647-48 Derby House

Henry, Earl of Kent, in the name of the Committee of both Houses to Col. Hammond. Having received some intelligence from a source which we formerly found true, we thought it necessary to give you notice of it and recommend the business to your especial care. That the King's escape is designed, the manner thus, by one Napier and a servant of David Murray, whom we take to be the King's tailor. The King is to be drawn up out of his bedchamber into the room over it, the ceiling whereof is to be broken for that purpose, and then conveyed from one room to another till he be passed all the rooms where any guards are at any doors or windows. Sent by Mr. Faukeard. (Interregnum 24 E., p. 10. Copy 1/2p.)

Source in print from actual documents in the Public Record Office, London: Calendar of State Papers Domestic, of the reign of Charles I ... preserved in the PRO p. 15. Could this Napier have been Patrick Napier (elder), personal barber to the King? Probably.
Following is more data that has been found:

a. Patrick Napier (The eleventh day issued forth Letters of Administration to Anno 1660 Aprill) Christopher Napier the naturall and lawfull sonne of Patricke Napier late of the parish of St. Martins in the fields gent intestate deced to Administer all and singular the goods Chatells - and debtes of the sayd deced, he being first Sworne truely to Administer &c By order of Court. (LDS Film 093,261; Administration Act Books, Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 1659-1660, folio 15, second item on page.)

b. Archibald Napper, son of Patrick and Elizabeth, was christened 29 October 1633, in parish of St. Martins-in-the-Fields (Harleian Society Publications, Vol. 66, p. 98).

c. Casander Naper, daughter of Valentine & Sarah, baptized 12, January 1647 (1647/48?) at St. Margarets, Westminister, London (IGI 1984).

From these we have a picture forming which would be more exciting if it could be legally proved, than any supposed connection to the placid Professor of Logarithms! The Pennycuik reference is inescapable: A surgeon of the King would spend most of his time in London. No doubt Archibald, son of Patrick, admitted to the Surgeons 1657 was the same Archibald, son of Patrick and Elizabeth "Napper", baptized 29, October 1633, and we are reasonably sure the father was the same "Gentlemen" who died in 1660, since baptism took place in the same parish where the man died.

This, however, does not square with the supposition of Cromwell's ire toward one who had attempted to free the Royal prisoner! This Patrick Napier died the year the Crown was restored to the head of Charles II., two years after Cromwell's death. Of course, this in no way changes the possibility of the son Patrick being taken prisoner and shipped out for his complicity, active or tacit, in the Battle of Dunbar.

Then we must solve the problem of the wife Joan and the wife Elizabeth to Patrick Napier. We have located the first marriage, we think, but not the second. We have at this time, no evidence of a second Patrick Napier, which would mean two men of the same name, one with a wife named Joan, the other with an Elizabeth, one of these men being the King's Barbe

Was his father the man married to Joan Wallas? Was this Patrick Napier, Sr. the same who was apprenticed by servitude, in 1631, to William Hann in London? Could he then be the identical man who was admitted Burgess of Dumbarton in 1633, son of Mungo Napier? Was he also the Barber-Surgeon to King Charles? Finally was he the same who apprenticed his son to Pennycuik in 1649 and lived out his life in London, dying in 1660? As complicated as all the above seems, yes, as far as we can see, he could be the same man in every case. We cannot find a noticeable conflict of facts here.

The Napiers were Royalist in sentiment and action, and would certainly not meet with the approval of Cromwell, nor he of them, especially after he and his panel of Regicides decided to behead their king! Archibald Napier, Lord Napier of Merchistoun, born ca 1625, was a zealous Royalist, serving with distinction under (his maternal uncle) the gallant Marquess of Montrose. He was specifically excepted from Oliver Cromwell's so-called "Act of Grace," 12, April 1654, showing the animosity boiling in the heart of the Lord Protector for the name of Napier!

Burke's The General Armory (1884) pp. 722-723 lists no less than 30 different armorial bearings (coats of arms), of Edinburg ("Argent, a saltier engrailed between four roses gules barbed vert"), there are coats of Naper or Napper from Oxford, England, and Ireland. From Scotland there are arms for families - individuals usually - from Haddington, Culcreuch, Co. Stirling, Balwhapple (Balquahappie), Co. Dunbartonm Faside, Co. Fife, Harviestoun, Co. Clackmannan, Tayock, Blackstone, Co. Renfrew, Ballikinrain, Co. Dunbarton, Craigannet, Co. Stirling, Kilmahew, Co. Dumbartonm Wright's House, Edinburgh, and a family from Dorsetshire, England

An entry for a Napier coat of arms granted in Ireland shows that Napier of Middlemarshall and Morecritchell, Co. Dorset, England, Baronet, extinct by 1765, was granted to Gerard Napier, eldest son of Sir Nathaniel Napier, Knight, of Morecritchell, and grandson of Sir Robert Naper, Napper of Napier, Chief Baron of the Exchequer in Ireland, created Baronet in 1641. His amrs: "Argent, a saltire engrailed between four cinquefoils guiles." That is reminiscent of the Merchistoun arms.

Thus, the family of Napier has been armigerous throughout the British Isles, a quite impressive commentary in itself.

Since the publication of the above information on Dr. Patrick Napier, by Vava Knepp, in 1988, more has come to light about the origins of Dr. Napier. Lt. Col. John Hawkins Napier III continued his research of 45 years into the background of Dr. Patrick Napier and finally discovered his origins. In October of 1989 he made a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland and visited the Scottish Records Office, Register House. There he found the crucial documents that proved Dr. Patrick Napier's grandfather Mungo Napier to have been a son of Patrick Napier of Blackyards and Tutor (guardian) of Kilmahew!

The document took the family back another eight generations to the first John Napier of Kilmahew, living in Dunbartonshire in 1280, from whom descended the other landed Napier families of Scotland--of Wrighthouses, Ballikinrain, Merchiston, and their cadet branches, as well as those who later went to England and Ireland. Further, following traditionary accounts one can trace back through Donald "le Nae-peer" and his ancestors, the ancient Earls and Mormaers of Lennox and the hereditary abbots of Dunkeld of the kindred of St. Columba to Kenneth MacAlpine, the first King of Scots, and back to Niall of the Nine Hostages, High King of Ireland (reigned c. 412-38), 47 generations in 1500 years. For addition information into the Napier Family ancestors please refer to John Hawkins Napier III's book, "Dr. Patrick Napier: His Ancestors and Some Descendants".

Hey David,

I found what it was I was looking for. It was regarding Elizabeth Booth (person ID 27826) and whether or not she did marry Edward Walton. I can't find any record of a remarriage after Patrick Napier's death in 1668. All the things I have about her father Robert Booth only mention Patrick. Beyond that, I wanted to say how some of the people that you quoted in the notes section have her marriage to Edward on the day the agreement was made up for the deeds for 800 acres when it should be after that. To that end, I saw you have her marriage date to Edward as the same date she married Patrick (10 Nov 1658) when it would have occurred AFTER 20 Oct 1672 as she was still Elizabeth Napier at the time of that land deed from that date. So then, that brings us to Edward Walton Jr (their proposed son). His birth range given as 1668-1672. His birth date would have been no earlier than 1673 (given his mother wasn't married as of that 20 Oct 1672 deed). Almost every person has Elizabeth's death year as 1672 but I am wondering if that is supposed to be after 1672.

The reason I was looking at the Booths is because as it turns out, I also descend from Elizabeth's sister Ann as well (and her first husband Thomas Dennett - her second husband was William Clopton).

So there may need some more investigations into Elizabeth and the alleged marriage to Edward.

Hello Jessica.

Thanks so much for your prompt response. I'm afraid that researchers have passed on this marriage record for Elizabeth & Edward Walton without bothering to authenticate…alas, such is web data (and afraid we are all guilty)

Again, thanks for your time, trouble & your excellent website,

When I was doing research on this family I was using Genealogy.com message boards when are now defunct. I would reply to messages on there which was the only was of contact. It has been years since I have done research and would not know how to contact him. You could see if he has an ancestry account or if he is on any other message boards but I am not sure. I have not been able to pick up the research again since my grandmother passed away a few years ago.

Notes:

JOHN WOODSON2

John2 Woodson has been generally accepted as the son of John and Sarah Woodson of Flowerdew Hundred and Piercey's Hundred. He may have been born about 1632. John was listed among the tithables living at "Curles" in Henrico County on 2, June 1679. It is interesting to note that, while the brother, John and Robert, had not been identified as Mister in the list of tithables of 1679, they were so identified in their land patents. None of the Woodson men of that time were literate; however, they were substantial citizens and respected planters. He was further listed as one of forty men who were ordered by the court to "fitt out men horse and arms" according to the Act of the Assembly. He was credited with three tithables and John Woodson, Jr., his son, was credited with two.

John married about 1660, but the name of his wife and the mother of his children is not known. It's possible that Mary Plesants was the mother of his children. He apparently married a second time to Sarah Browne, the widow of John Browne. When she made her will, she left her personal property to the children of her first marriage.

John died in 1684. He made his will on 20, August 1684 and his son, John3, presented it in court on 1, October 1684. In his will he named his brother Robert's four youngest children.

Mrs. Sarah Browne Woodson, widow, took it upon herself to operate the ferry that her son, Jeremiah Browne, has contracted to maintain. She informed the court in 1690 that it was she, who had kept the ferry, and she was entitled to the county levy. She paid 2000 pounds of tobacco yearly until her death for keeping the ferry. Sarah Woodson, widow, was credited with 650 acres of land in the quit rents rolls of 1704 for Henrico County. She wrote her will on 24, February 1701 and her daughter, Temperance Farrar, was granted probate of the will on 1, November, 1704 in Henrico County.

Children of John Woodson2 and his 1st wife (unknown):

1. John Woodson3, born before 1663 in Virginia

2. Robert Woodson, whose later whereabouts or children, after he was named in his father's will, are unknown. Had two children: Jane and Samuel.

John married Mary Pleasants. Mary was born in 1633; died on 1 Aug 1710. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Additional Notes & Commentary:

Robert Booth served as York County, Virginia Clerk of Courts from 1640 until his death in 1657. He also served at least one term as a member of the House of Burgesses.

He died in 1657 in York County, Virginia.

Note: http://www.vii.com/~jensenet/booth/d0009/I46.html

Robert Booth of "Belle Ville," Gloucester County, Virginia, was a physician. He served as Clerk of York County, Virginia, from 1640 to 1657 and represented York County in the House of Burgesses, 1653 and 1654. In 1657 he died leaving a widow Frances (born 1609 according to her deposition 1668). Robert Booth's Library, valued at 14 pounds sterling contained not less than 300 volumes, we are told in Brun's Constitutional History of Virginia. Colonial records show that Mr. Booth left at his death 23 thousand brick, valued at 184 shillings. Brick was manufactured either by a planter's own slaves on the premises, or by transient labor in those days. Land conveyances from and to Robert 'Bouth' dated, 1639; 1642; 1649, 1652; 1653; Charles County Patent Records (later York County), show that he was possessed of extensive tracts.

Then there was a numerous family of the name on the south side of the James, going back to a very early date. The York County Family appears to have no immediate connection with either of these, and has died out in the male line. Robert Booth was clerk of York County from 1640 to 1652. That year (1652) he represented York County in the House of Burgesses, and in 1654 he was again a representative.

"The Booths were descended from a noble family in England, and it is reported that there is still a vacant title to which the oldest Branch in this country is entitled.
"The first one of this family to emmigrate to this country, was, we have been told, the son of a Baronet in England, and owned a very large estate in what we call the Highlands, then considered superior to the low grounds.
"They were genuine specimens of good old English Squires, and remarkable for their great integrity of character. Most of the oldest families in Gloucester County, Virginia, were either descended from, or connected with them.

Hey cuz, I thought I would share what I am finding

I have just found that the Booths in Lancashire and York are of the same line as the Cheshire Booths.

Here are some facts about another son (the heir apparent) of Sir William Booth and Elizabeth Warburton. When you see the name "Old George" referenced, it is regarding him. I clarify because I have seen a lot of confusion from other people, thinking Old George was the George who married Elizabeth Trafford.

Sir George was a minor when his father (Sir William) died and was made a ward of the crown.

George Booth (1st Baron) was born 20 Oct 1566 and died on 24 Oct 1652 (burial was 18 Nov 1652 at Bowden.
He was knighted in 1597 and created a baronet in 1611.

Sir George (1st Baron) was married to Jane Carington, (on 18 Feb 1577/8). She was the daughter of John Carington (of Carington in Cheshire) and Ellen Holford (baptized 10 Dec 1652 at Bowdon in Cheshire). Ellen Holford was the daughter of Thomas Holford of Holford.

He married 2nd Katherine Anderson abt 1590. She was the daughter of Sir Edmund Anderson and Magdalen Smith. Sir Edmund Anderson was Lord Chief Justice of Common Pleas 1582-1605. Madalen was the daughter of Christopher Smith of Annables, Hertfordshire. Katherine was buried 26 Feb 1638/9 at Bowden.

Sir George's son (by 2nd wife Katherine Anderson), William Booth died 26 Apr 1636, and in the following year Sir George and others were granted the wardship of his grandson George Booth (2nd Baron aka Baron Delamer) (b. 1622-d. 1684). This William was married to Vere Egerton, who was 2nd daughter of Sir Thomas Egerton. More on George (2nd Baron): . More on Thomas Egerton:

Here is a book that you should find useful for various families. The Booths (Sir William in particular) is mentioned a few times but so are other families from the area(s) in and around Cheshire. You can download it in PDF format

Also note at the bottom right, there are numerous pages within the collections (e.g. The Booth family papers subfolder has 28 pages pertaining to the estate papers of various Booth family members).

Sketches of Tudor Hall and the Booth Family. There is a rather intriguing bit about John Wilkes Booth in here. I didn't read it in it's entirety yet but there was a letter from his brother describing his wild-brained nature and how he was insane on the idea of succession and claimed Lincoln would be be made King of America. Fascinating!

A book you may find useful in general: Virginia Heraldica

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know you said you may end up just completely removing the entire Booth line as there is little in the way of evidence for our connection to them but I don't think I would do that just yet. Are you able to just unlink them but leave them in the database? If not, maybe just notate at the beginning so it is seen that nothing beyond _____?_____ is confirmed and only tentative pending more evidence? Those are just my suggestions. Obviously you should do what you feel is best BUT there is still a good chance we go back through someone to them (and I am definitely connected to Robert the Immigrant through his daughter Ann).

Well, that is it for today. I have been working on this all day. Still no evidence for Edward Walton and Elizabeth Booth or for the parentage of Robert Booth the Immigrant. We will just have to keep searching.

Stef

• Possessions: Flowerdew Plantation, Jamestowne Colony, Virgina
• Immigration: 1619

Notes:

John WOODSON "The Immigrant" (1586-1644) was among the early settlers of the Jamestowne, Virginia Colony and is a Jamestowne Society qualifying ancestor. He came to Virginia in the ship GEORGE on 19 Apr 1619, as surgeon to a company of British soldiers. A native of Dorsetshire, England, he was an Oxford Student in 1608. He brought with him his wife Sarah from Devonshire, England and they settled at now called Flowerdew Hundred‡, some 30 miles above Jamestown on the south side of James River in what is now Prince George County.
It was, no doubt, at this place that their two sons, John (b.1632) and Robert (b.1634), were born. John and Sarah escaped unharmed during the Indian uprising in 1622 <1622_massacre.htm>. Flowerdew had very few casualties primarily because it was a palisaded settlement. Dr. John WOODSON was killed in the 1644 Indian uprising led by Chief Opechancano, son of Powhatan, at settlements along the James River.


Flowerdew Hundred, located on the west/south side of the James River about twenty (20) miles upriver from Jamestowne and variously referred to as Flourdieu Hundred or Peirsey's Hundred, is probably named after Temperance FLOWERDIEU wife of Sir George YEARDLEY, VA's first Governor, who came to Virginia in January 1619 on the same ship with John and Sarah WOODSON. This about the time of the first legislative assembly in Jamestown - July 30, 1619-August 4, 1619. Flowerdieu was represented in the assembly, the first House of Burgesses, by Ensigne Roffingham and Mr. Jefferson.

The YEARDLEY'S owned the plantation and in 1624 sold it to Abraham PEIRSEY and it became Peirsey's Hundred. When counties were established in 1634 Flowerdew Hundred was part of Charles City County and in 1702 was included in the new Prince George County. Presently, Flowerdew Hundred Foundation (1716 Flowerdew Road, Hopewell, VA 23860) owns and maintains the plantation as a Public Trust.

The Flowerdew Hundred post windmill , erected in 1621 was reconstructed in 1978, stands on a ridge overlooking the James River.

Flowerdew Hundred, one of the earliest original land grants in Virginia, has had abundant natural resources at this strategic bend in the James River that have attracted people since prehistoric times. Archaeological excavations at Flowerdew Hundred during the last three decades have uncovered over 200,000 artifacts.

end of biography


Sarah WOODSON was a brave pioneer woman. In the absence of her husband during the Indian Uprising of April 18, 1644, aided by Robert LIGON, she resisted an attack by the Indians, killing nine. She loaded the gun while LIGON fired, and hearing a noise up the chimney she threw the bed upon the coals, the stifling smoke bringing two Indians down, whom she dispatched. Her sons, Robert in the potato hole and John under the tub, were saved. For many years they were called "Potato Hole" and "Tub." Over the years this story has been passed on from one WOODSON generation to the next and as passed among the various families has varied a bit in details but not in Sarah's bravery in defending her children. John WOODSON, caught in the open on his way home from visiting a patient, was killed. The old Woodson muzzle loading matchlock musket rifle, originally eight feet long and later modified to seven feet six inches, was preserved and now owned by The Virginia Historical Society and is on permanent exhibit in the Virginia Museum in Richmond. Woodson Rifle photo shown with permission of Kathy Hudson.

Most researchers believe that the WOODSONS were living at Flowerdew Hundred at the time of the 1644 massacre; although, there is apparently no record of whether they were living at Flowerdew Hundred or whether they had already settled on the north side of the James at "Curles". Robert and John WOODSON, were among Tythables at Curles Plantation in 1679. Curles Plantation was on the North side of the James River near Flowerdew Hundred. This plantation was once owned by Robert WOODSON's father-in-law Richard FERRIS, father of his wife Elizabeth FERRIS.

After John WOODSON'S death his Sarah married a DUNWELL and then a JOHNSON. On her death she left a combination inventory and nuncupative will which was recorded January 17, 1660/1. Bequests included John WOODSON, Robert WOODSON and Deborah WOODSON and Elizabeth DUNWELL. Henry Morton WOODSON in Historical Genealogy of the WOODSONS And Their Connections (published Memphis 1915) states that 20 of the 25 charter members of The First Families of Virginia are descendants of John WOODSON. Dr. John Woodson is the progenitor of the WOODSON Family in America. Among his descendants are Dolley Todd Madison, wife of President James Madison and the famous outlaw, Jesse Woodson James.

The Woodson Family


On May 23, 1609, the London Company was granted a new charter which gave them all the land two hundred miles north and south of Point Comfort and extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, the distance being entirely unknown to the King or any of the Company.

During the year 1609, the London Company fitted out nine ships with five hundred emigrants and a great quantity of supplies of all kinds needed by the Colonists in Jamestown, Virginia. Within the next year a great many of these people died, so that at the close of 1610 there were less than one hundred white persons alive at Jamestown.

The council at London had appointed Lord De la War, governor of South Virginia, and he arrived at Jamestown in the summer of 1610 with a considerable number of emigrants and a large cargo of supplies. He immediately assumed charge of colonial affairs. The charter was amended from time to time and new governors frequently appointed, as the terms of service were usually of short duration, owing to resignation, death or other causes of removal.

Emigrants were constantly being sent over from England to Virginia until the white population increased to about one thousand in 1617. The office of governor had changed hands often, sometimes being occupied by men of no talent for leadership; at other times by men of marked executive ability.

When Governor Dale returned to England in 1618, Sir George Yeardley was appointed to succeed him. The colony at that time numbered nearly two thousand men of high character. Many of these men, owing to the law of primogeniture, lived at home under a great disadvantage, and could accomplish something for themselves, only by going to some part of the world where that law was not operative in its strictest construction. On the 29th day of January, 1619, the ship George sailed from England and landed the following April at Jamestown, Virginia, nearly a year before the more famous ship, the Mayflower, came to Plymouth's shore. This vessel brought the new governor, Sir George Yeardley and about one hundred passengers; among whom were Dr. John Woodson, of Dorsetshire, and his wife Sarah, whom he had married in Devonshire. Tradition has it that her maiden name was Winston, but no documentation has been found to prove this. Dr. Woodson came in the capacity of surgeon to a company of soldiers who were sent over for the protection of the colonist against the Indians.

It was during the administration of Governor Yeardley that the settlements were divided into eleven burroughs, each of which was allowed two representatives. These representatives were called burgesses, and when assembled, constituted the house of burgess’s, which, with the governor and council, formed the general assembly or colonial government. This general assembly convened at Jamestown, June 19, 1619, and was the first legislative assembly to perform its functions in Virginia.

Dr. John Woodson was a man of high character and of great value to the colony. He was born about 1586, in Devonshire, England, matriculated at St. Johns' College, March 1, 1604, at the age of eighteen.

Like other gentlemen of his time, he, no doubt had a desire to see the new country in which the Virginia Company of London had planted their colony a dozen years previously, so at the age of thirty-three he, with his wife, Sarah, embarked on the ship George.

Sometime in 1620 a vessel landed at Jamestown, having on board about twenty negro captives whom the Dutch skipper had kidnapped somewhere on the coast of Africa. These were sold to the colonist as slaves and found to be quite profitable in the cultivation of tobacco which was the staple crop at that time.

Dr. John Woodson, at this time or shortly afterwards, bought six of these Africans who were registered in 1623 as part of his household, but no names were given.

It was also during this year, 1620, that the London Company sent over about one hundred maids, respectable young women possessed of no wealth but of irreproachable character, who desired to seek their fortunes in the new world. The young men of the colony eagerly sought their hands in marriage.

Dr. John Woodson located at Fleur de Hundred, or, as it was sometimes called, Piersey's Hundred, some thirty miles above Jamestown on the south side of the James River in what is now Prince George County. He and his wife, Sarah, and their six negro slaves were registered at Fleur de Hundred in February 1623 Their two sons John and Robert were probably born at Fleur De Hundred. John was born in 1632 and Robert in 1634. There was also a daughter named Deborah.

The colonist lived in constant dread of an Indian uprising against them. There had never been any real peace or confidence between the two races since the great massacre of 1622.

On 18, April 1644, the Indians made a sudden attack upon the settlements and killed about three hundred of the colonists. The following account is family tradition and has been passed down through many generations. When the Indians attacked in April of 1644, Dr. Woodson was among those killed. He was returning home from seeing a patient and he was massacred by the Indians within sight of his home. Sarah managed to hold off the Indians along with a man named Col. Thomas Ligon, b. 1586 Madresfield, England, the cousin of Sir William Berkeley, Royal Governor of Virginia. He served in the House of Burgesses 1644-1645, was a Justice for Charles City County 1657 and was Lt. Col. Militia, Henrico County during the Indian wars. Sarah gave Col. Ligon her husband's gun and set about to find a weapon for herself. Looking for a place to hide the children, she spied a tub nearby; it was the only thing large enough to conceal a boy of ten. She placed John under the tub, and then managed to securely hide Robert in the potato pit.

While Col. Ligon found a tree notch to brace the eight-foot muzzle-loading gun, Sarah was back in the house. Two Indians who were in the process of descending inside the chimney met her. She disabled the first with a pot of boiling water and felled the second with a roasting pit. (The reader must accept this account as given, no explanation has been offered as to why the Indians would risk a smoking chimney with a hot fire at the bottom. There has been no account of where little Deborah was hidden during the attack). Col. Ligon had, in the meantime, killed seven Indians as they approached the house. It was not until after the Indians had fled that Sarah and Col. Ligon found that her husband had been killed.

Mrs. Venable, of Chicago, gave the eight-foot muzzle-loading gun to the Virginia Historical Society in 1927. She was a direct descendant of the Virginia Woodson’s and felt that the prized relic should be back home in Virginia. The gun bears the name "Collicot" and is said to predate 1625. It is protected carefully from moisture and scarring by the use of a protective blanket. Whether the details of the massacre are exactly as related, the gun stands as a stark testimony of the event and the times.

There is apparently no record of whether John and Sarah Woodson were then living at Peircey's Hundred or whether they had already settled on the north side of the James at "Curles". The Indians under the Powhatan Confederation attacked the English settlements on the outlying plantations, under the leadership of Chief Opechancanough. Under the new governor, Sir William Berkeley, the colonist retaliated decisively and captured the chief. Berkeley also imposed a treaty that brought a guarded peace for a generation.

Due to the loss of a great many of the ancient records of Virginia, there is no further record of Sarah and her children. The presence of John and Robert Woodson in "Curles" in 1679 is certainly compatible with the time frame of the preceding events. Robert gave a deposition in June 1680 in which he described himself as being "aged about 46 years". He would have then been born in 1634. It is believed that his brother, John, was the eldest. The surname of Woodson is uncommon enough to believe that they were the same family.

There is additional information about the lives of John and Sarah that has been handed down for generations. The Woodson genealogy written by Charles Woodson (II), the son of Charles and Mary Plesants Woodson was given to Sarah Bates, the daughter of Thomas Fleming Bates while she was visiting her Uncle Charles. It is thought that Charles (I) the son of Tarleton wrote a part of the genealogy. It was this information that Dr. R.A. Brock used to write his booklet "Descendants of John Woodson of Dorcetshire, England", in 1888. The book originally sold for fifty cents a copy. It was this booklet that has been used as a source material frequently since. Charles Woodson (I) was born about 1711; his father, Tarleton Woodson, born in the 1680's, died in 1763; Tarleton's father died in 1715, but a short time after the death of his father, Robert. It would seem that Charles Woodson (I) would have had an excellent opportunity to learn from his ancestors. His account not only supplied details of the lives of John and Sarah, but the link between them and John and Robert, who were living at "Curles" in 1679.

Later information seems to indicate that Sarah married again, which would surely have been reasonable. There may have been other children, which also seems logical, given the fact that John and Sarah were married before 1620. There is also supposition that there were two Sarah Woodson’s, the first one that came over from England with John, and possibly died here, and then another marriage to a Sarah who was the mother of John and Robert. A volume of Henrico County miscellaneous court records, 1650-1807, has been assembled from loose papers from the county records. An inventory for the estate of Sarah Johnson was recorded. It was, in effect, both a nuncupative will and an inventory of her possessions. She was identified as Sarah Johnson, widow, deceased and the date it was recorded was 17, January 1660.

The inventory leaves little doubt that Sarah Woodson married a second time to a Mr. Dunwell, and a third time to a Mr. Johnson. Her three husbands all dying before her. It seems unlikely that both John and Robert would have been involved in her affairs, and thus the disposition of her estate, had they not been her sons. Deborah may have been still under twenty-one at the time of her mother's death since Sarah was concerned about providing for her maintenance. Even though the daughter Sarah was not mentioned as being one of the children that Sarah hid during the fight with the Indians; she could have been pregnant at the time, delivering the child after her husband's death.

Children of John Woodson and Sarah Winston Woodson:

1. John Woodson2 b. 1632 m. 2nd Sarah Browne, d. 1684.

2. Robert Woodson b. 1634 m. Elizabeth Ferris, d. ca. 1707. Last known to be living in 1707, Henrico Co., VA. when he made a deed to his grandson, William and Joseph Lewis. He married Elizabeth Ferris, daughter of Richard Ferris, of Henrico, with whom, among others, received a patent, 21, October 1687, for 1785 acres at White Oak Swamp in Varina Parish, in that county. This man was the direct ancestor of Jesse Woodson James, and his brother, Alexander Franklin "Frank" James, the famous James Boys. Robert2 Woodson married Elizabeth Ferris: son Benjamin3 Woodson, married Sarah Porter; their son Robert4 Woodson (d. 1748/50) married Rebecca Pryor. Their daughter Elizabeth married Shadrach Mims (1734-1777) and became the mother of Elizabeth Mims (b. 1769) who married Robert Poor (1763-1801), a cornet in the American Revolutionary War. Their daughter in turn, Mary Poor, (died 1825) married John James (1775-1827), son of William and Mary (Hinds) James of Goochland County, Virginia. Their son Robert Sallee James, who died in the Gold Rush area of California, married Zerelda Cole and they had sons Frank James and Jesse James. (See: Background of a Bandit, by Joan M. Beamis and William E. Pullen (1971).

Jesse Woodson James, the bandit, married his cousin Zerelda "Zee" Amanda Mims. She was also a descendant of Elizabeth Woodson Mims, who married Robert Poor.

3. Deborah (mentioned in mothers will).

JOHN WOODSON2

John2 Woodson has been generally accepted as the son of John and Sarah Woodson of Flowerdew Hundred and Piercey's Hundred. He may have been born about 1632. John was listed among the tithables living at "Curles" in Henrico County on 2, June 1679. It is interesting to note that, while the brother, John and Robert, had not been identified as Mister in the list of tithables of 1679, they were so identified in their land patents. None of the Woodson men of that time were literate; however, they were substantial citizens and respected planters. He was further listed as one of forty men who were ordered by the court to "fitt out men horse and arms" according to the Act of the Assembly. He was credited with three tithables and John Woodson, Jr., his son, was credited with two.

John married about 1660, but the name of his wife and the mother of his children is not known. It's possible that Mary Plesants was the mother of his children. He apparently married a second time to Sarah Browne, the widow of John Browne. When she made her will, she left her personal property to the children of her first marriage.

John died in 1684. He made his will on 20, August 1684 and his son, John3, presented it in court on 1, October 1684. In his will he named his brother Robert's four youngest children.

Mrs. Sarah Browne Woodson, widow, took it upon herself to operate the ferry that her son, Jeremiah Browne, has contracted to maintain. She informed the court in 1690 that it was she, who had kept the ferry, and she was entitled to the county levy. She paid 2000 pounds of tobacco yearly until her death for keeping the ferry. Sarah Woodson, widow, was credited with 650 acres of land in the quit rents rolls of 1704 for Henrico County. She wrote her will on 24, February 1701 and her daughter, Temperance Farrar, was granted probate of the will on 1, November, 1704 in Henrico County.

Children of John Woodson2 and his 1st wife (unknown):

1. John Woodson3, born before 1663 in Virginia

2. Robert Woodson, whose later whereabouts or children, after he was named in his father's will, are unknown. Had two children: Jane and Samuel.

JOHN WOODSON3

John3 Woodson, son of John2 Woodson and his wife (name unknown), was born before 1663, in Henrico Co., VA. and died there before 1 May 1700, aged about 37 years.

He married about 1677 to Mary Tucker, daughter of Capt. Samuel Tucker and his wife Jane Larcome. Mary Woodson died in 1710 in Henrico County. She is said to have been the orphan of a ship's captain. The name of Samuel Tucker's vessel was the Vinetree. He was trading on the Virginia coast and perhaps died at sea. His widow, Jane (Larcome) Tucker, then married John Pleasants, of Curles, Henrico County, VA.

John's will, was proved in court 1, May 1700. His widow made her will on 24, September 1709 and it was proved 1, August 1710 in the Henrico Court at Varina. Her mother, Jane Pleasants had only died the previous year. Her will is dated 2, January 1708/09 and was proved at the same court in June 1709, it shows she had Tucker and Pleasants offspring, and also names some of her Woodson grandchildren.

Children of John Woodson3 and Mary Tucker Woodson:

1. Joseph Woodson married three times, first to Mary Sanburne, second Elizabeth Scott and third Elizabeth Murry.

2. Samuel Tucker Woodson, died 1718 without issue, will 1717, proved 7, July 1718, naming brothers Joseph and Benjamin, sister Jane and cousin Tarleton.

3. Benjamin Woodson, born about 1693, Henrico County, VA. Married Frances Napier. See Napier Family.

4. Jane Woodson married her first cousin, once removed, Joseph Woodson, son of Robert2 Woodson (John1) and wife Elizabeth Ferris.

BENJAMIN WOODSON, SR.4

Benjamin Woodson, Sr., was the son of John3 and Mary (Tucker) Woodson. He was born ca 1693 in Henrico County, Virginia and died in 1778 in Fluvanna County, Virginia, aged about 85 years.

Benjamin Woodson, Sr. married, ca 1720, in Henrico County, VA. Francis Napier, daughter of Capt. Robert2 Napier and his wife Mary Perrin. Frances Napier was born 5, February 1694/95, in New Kent County, Virginia, and was last known to be living on 25 October 1777 in Fluvanna County, Virginia at the age of 82 years.

The Woodson’s and the Napiers were united for the first time in 1720 when both families dwelt in Henrico County, Virginia. It would have been impossible for Frances Napier not to know about the Woodson family, and conversely, we find it hard to imagine that Benjamin Woodson was not aware of Miss Napier. Their prominence in the affairs of the colony and the plantations indicates they may have known each other from some years and had a lengthy courtship. As facts on Capt. Robert2 Napier reveal, he had dealings at the courthouse at Varina, the old County Seat for Henrico County, as early as the 1690s before his own family was produced.

Benjamin and Frances was the first marriage between the two families, but it was not the last. Two of their own grandchildren, Elizabeth and Tabitha Woodson were married to two more of the Napier's a couple of generations later.

While Woodson was a lifelong inhabitant of Henrico, until it was subdivided and the plantation fell into Goochland County, Frances Napier was raised in several counties. It is probably correct to say she was born in New Kent, raised in King and Queen, King William and Henrico, and lived her married life in Goochland, Ablemarle and Fluvanna Counties, yet not to have moved from the place of her birth very far. Certainly, in the years from her marriage until her death in is probable that she never moved at all, living on the same land all the rest of here life.

The Woodson family first appears in the records if Goochland County, Virginia as far as our examination of records goes, in a deed of gift as follows:

To All people ... I, Adam Buttrey of Goochland County, Virginia, in consideration of the affection I beare unto my Godson Bouth Woodson, son of Benjamin & ffrances Woodson of the same County, ... for ¹10. paid by his ffather Benjamin Woodson ... 120 acres ... Dated 8 June 1734. Signed Adam "A" Buttrey his mark. Witnesses: Rene Napier, Patrick Napier and ffra: Woodson. This was proved at Court January 21, 1734/5 by the oaths of the witnesses before Henry Wood, clerk of the court.

The land was in trust for Booth Woodson since he was a minor at the time this instrument was written.

The next mention of this couple is in a scandalous case set before the County Court of Goochland in February Term, 1739. Patrick3 Napier and Rene3 Napier, with Frances, wife of Benjamin Woodson, all of Goochland, were charged with the kidnapping of Martha Claiborne, an orphan minor of Thomas Claiborne. She was, at the time of the alleged abduction, living with her sister and brother-in-law, Joseph and Frances (Claiborne) Thompson. Frances Woodson was found not guilty. Of course, the two Napier's involved where her brothers. No animosity seems to have resulted. A couple of years later, Martha Claiborne married to Patrick3 Napier, one of her accused abductors.

The Woodson’s lived long and saw many grandchildren. In his will, Benjamin, Sr. gave property to sons Benjamin, Jr., John, Rene and Patrick, and daughters Mary Perrin Fitzpatrick and Frances Anderson. He also remembered several grandchildren, including Elizabeth Booth Woodson, Benjamin and Joseph Fitzpatrick, and George and Benjamin Anderson. This will is dated 25, November 1777 and proved 3, September 1778 at Fluvanna Courthouse. He appointed his wife Frances Executrix and sons Benjamin, Rene and Patrick as Executors. He must have considered her able to carry out that work, and healthy enough for her age. However, she did not participate in the execution of the will after all and may have been ill by that time. Frances Napier Woodson left no will and no administration was taken out.

Children of Benjamin and Frances (Napier) Woodson:

1. Booth Woodson, born ca 1721, Henrico County, VA. died 1757, Goochland Co.; married Tabitha Cocke sister to Rebecca, wife of Benjamin 5 Woodson, Jr. No issue. Tabitha Cocke is said to have married second to John Winston, and had at least one child, Sarah Winston, Born 14, May 1761.

2. Benjamin5 Woodson, Jr. born ca 1725-30, Henrico Co., VA. and died 1808, Fluvanna County, VA. Married (1) Rebecca Cocke; married (2) Frances "Franky" Jordan.

3. Mary Perrin Woodson, born 1720s, still living in December 1786, married ca 1735-40, Joseph Fitzpatrick, son of William Fitzpatrick who is said to have come from Ireland about 1710. See Fitzpatrick Family for continuation of my husbands line.

4. Rene Woodson, born 1730s, Goochland County, VA. died 1817/18, Fluvanna Co., VA., married (1) 1758 Mary Thompson (she died shortly in or after childbirth 1759); married (2) 2, February 1775, St. James Northam Church, Martha Johnson, of Louisa Co., VA; (She survived him.) He was Commissioner of the Provision Law, Fluvanna, 1780-82.

5. Frances Woodson, born 1730s, Goochland Co., VA. living in 1778; married about 1752, George Anderson, born 1733, alive in 1800, Fluvanna Co., VA.

6. John Woodson, born 1740s, Goochland Co., VA. or Ablemarle, living 1800, Fluvanna Co., VA., married 20 March 1760, St. James Northan Church, Goochland Co., VA., Mary Mims.

7. Patrick Woodson, born 1740s, Goochland or Ablemarle, Co., VA., dead by 30, March 1722 when his estate Inventory was filed in Fluvanna Court. Married Nancy Cloof, she living 24 November 1823. His inventory was totaled at $10,788.50, including 47 slaves. Patrick Woodson, Sr., and Jr. are mentioned, and one Rene Woodson was paid for giving out whiskey at the sale.

FIRST GENERATION

Dr. John Woodson, b. ca 1586 Dorsetshire, England, m. bef 1619 in England and d. ca 1644 Henrico Co., VA. m. Sarah Winston. Dr. John and Sarah came to the Virginia Colonies 29 January 1619/1620 on the Ship George. The Muster records shows John Woodson and wife Sarah with "Corne, 4 bushells; Powder, 1 lb.; Lead, 3 lb.; Peece fixt, 1; Sword, 1".

Dr. John was a surgeon and was serving a company of soldiers from England. He settled in Flowerdew Hundred, also known as Peirsey's Hundred. This land lay on the south side of the James River.

It was there that Dr. John lost his life and the stories passed down were varied about the different Indian attacks. One story said that Sarah threw mattresses in the fire place and lite them to keep the Indians from coming in that way. The most common story is that Sarah saved her sons, John and Robert, by hiding one under a tub and the other in a "potato hole". When John was killed, Sarah remarried a Mr. Johnson and the inventory of her estate was recorded in January 1660 in Henrico County.

Died:
On 18, April 1644, the Indians made a sudden attack upon the settlements and killed about three hundred of the colonists. The following account is family tradition and has been passed down through many generations. When the Indians attacked in April of 1644, Dr. Woodson was among those killed. He was returning home from seeing a patient and he was massacred by the Indians within sight of his home.

John married Sarah Isabelle Winston(Dorchester, Dorset, England). Sarah was born in ~1590 in Dorchester, Dorset, England; died on 17 Jan 1659 in Henrico County, Virginia Colony. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

About Sarah Isabelle Woodson

A family account written about 1785 by Charles Woodson (1711-~1795), son of Tarleton Woodson, however, survives and supplies details which link the first generations of Woodsons and Robert Woodson, John Woodson, Senr., and John Woodson, Junr." who were among the tithables at Curles, 1679. Tradition states that John Woodson was killed in the Indian massacre of 18 April 1644. His children were very young and Mrs. Sarah Woodson soon remarried (2) ___ Dunwell, who died leaving her with a daughter Elizabeth, and (3) ___ Johnson. As a widow again she left a combination inventory and nuncupative will which was recorded 17 Jan 1660/1. This made bequests to John Woodson, Robert Woodson, Deborah Woodson (apparently under age) and Elizabeth Dunwell (under age). John Woodson was the implied executor. The family record of 1785, with no evidence to the contrary presented during two centuries, has posited this descent: issue: John, Robert, Deborah, left a cow and a feather bed by her mother, not mentioned in the 1785 account. "Woodsons and Their Connections", Henry Morton WOODSON, 1915 excerpts from that book.

Dr. John ( b. 1586 d. 1644) & Sarah Woodson (b. 1590 d. 1660)

This article was originally entitled “Dr. John Woodson.” Had I been thinking when I began the project, I would probably have chosen Sarah Woodson as the subject rather than her husband. Since the sketch is actually more about Sarah than about John, the least she deserves is equal billing.
Dr. John Woodson and his wife Sarah share two entirely different stories about their lives together. One story has been around for several hundred years; the other is of fairly recent vintage. (In a nutshell, Story One says the two were of the privileged classes; Story Two says they were poor and unknown.) Whichever story is true—and you are free to determine which you believe—the result is a tale of two admirable ancestors. Perhaps there is a little truth in both versions.
In the Beginning

According to both stories John Woodson was “The Immigrant” of the Woodson branch of our family tree. In the older version, John was born in 1586 in Dorchester, Devonshire, England, the fourth (or fifth) son of John Woodson, Gentleman. In earlier times King Henry VIII had granted one of John’s ancestors a coat of arms and the privilege or “right to bear arms.” As a young man John attended St. John’s College, a part of Oxford. (Oxford University is made up of a number of colleges including Queen’s College, Christ Church College, Trinity College, and others). He graduated from Oxford in 1604 when he was 18 years old. Had he continued with his expected path, he would have probably had a very comfortable life and lifestyle. (Story Two says the facts may be true, but this John Woodson [John Woodsonne according to college records] did not come to America.)

As fate would have it, however, Story One says that John fell in love with a young woman named Sarah Winston (1590-1660), daughter of Isaac Winston (birth dates vary:1570, 1564, 1584-d.?) and Unknown. (I was unable to find any specific information to back up the traditional tale of this Winston family.) The Woodson family were members of the Church of England. The Winstons, on the other hand, were definitely Separatists and probably Quakers. Both families were unhappy with the romance. The Woodsons declared that if the courtship continued and marriage ensued, John would be disinherited. Sarah’s family did not want her to marry outside her faith. If she married John, she would lose her family. (Story 2 says our Sarah’s last name is unknown; that her association with the Winstons came from a mistake in a magazine article about Isaac Winston (1681-1760). This Isaac Winston did have a daughter named Sarah, but that Sarah married a man named Syme and later married John Henry. She and John Henry were the parents of Patrick Henry, American patriot. Story 2 further contends that “Winston” was a typographical error in the aforementioned magazine that was corrected in the next edition but ignored by eager genealogists determined to connect Sarah to the Winstons. And, as if that weren’t enough, Story 2 backers say the idea that Isaac Winston who died in 1760 would have a married daughter listed on a 1624 “muster” [see below] is stretching the imagination somewhat. I wonder, couldn’t there be two Isaac Winstons? Or, on the other hand, is it absolutely necessary that Sarah be a Winston?)

In Story One, the couple decided to go ahead with their plans even though both would lose something. They married sometime before 29 Jan 1619 and left England and their families for the new (12-year-old) colony of Jamestown. In so doing John lost any inheritance he might have received, and Sarah lost having her family nearby. Story One, however, says that Sarah’s brother Anthony accompanied the couple on the voyage. (I could find no mention of Anthony Winston in the ship’s list, but some ships lists were “reconstructed” years later. Of interest: Some say Anthony was the father of the Isaac Winston who was the father of Sarah Winston who was the mother of Patrick Henry. Whew! For whatever it’s worth, the Sarah in that family did have a brother named Anthony).

Because of the couple’s dire circumstances after their marriage, one source says that “when Gov. Yeardley offered John Woodson a flattering gift of land holdings in the new world, [the young man] accepted the task of ship's surgeon and physician and came on with the new Governor.” The governor’s offer came at just the right time for the newlyweds. (Because of laws of primogeniture, as a fourth/fifth son, John wouldn’t have had much if any inheritance. Early Virginia was populated with many sons of wealthy families who had not had enough sense to be born as their parents’ first child and thus inherit everything. [See discussion of Thomas Ligon, below.])

Voyage to Jamestown

The ship the Woodsons chose for their voyage was the George. (Most sources list the ship as simply the George, but one researcher claimed that the ship was really named the George Yeardley in honor of Sir George Yeardley, the new governor of Jamestown) On board the George were the new Governor and his wife Temperance Fleurdieu (Flowerdieu), Lady Yeardley. The governor was going to the colony to replace the first deputy governor of Jamestown, Sir Thomas Dale (?-1619). Dale, who had served the colony well, returned to England in 1616 for other adventures and duties. He died of fever on an expedition to the East Indies in 1619.)

The Yeardleys were accompanied on the George by about 100 other passengers. Among these passengers were (1) our ancestors, Dr. John Woodson and his wife Sarah; (2) Sir John Harvey, who would later himself become a very unpopular royal governor of VA; (3) a contingent of soldiers who had been sent to help protect the colonists from the Indians, and (4) about 80 teenage “street” orphans from Bridewell Hospital who had been rounded up off the London streets and sent to Jamestown to serve as a source of cheap labor. (If the George indeed carried 100 passengers, the contingent of soldiers must have been fairly small. One source claims that “a company of soldiers” was with the party. Doubts. [Story 2 says that John and Sarah were probably two of the teenage orphans from London, and that they married sometime between their arrival in Jamestown in 1619 and the first “muster” or census that was taken in Feb1624/25])

According to Story One, Temperance Yeardley, the governor’s wife, was seasick for most of the journey. (One of the travelers said that it was “a sore voyage.”) Sarah took care of her, and the two became fast friends. Temperance encouraged Sarah and John to settle at the plantation given to the Yeardleys by King James. It was named Flower Dew Hundred (many different spellings) and had been named after Temperance Fleurdieu. (Hundred in a plantation’s name indicated that the area was both large enough and populated enough to be capable of raising a hundred militiamen in time of need [or that it housed 100 servants]) When the George landed in Jamestown in April of 1619, 33-year-old John and 29-year-old Sarah traveled about 30 miles upstream with the Yeardleys where they made their home at Fleur de Hundred on the south side of the James River. (Note: The George arrived in Jamestown a year before the Mayflower landed at Plymouth.)

One bit of evidence that gives some credence to Story One (that John and Sarah were wealthy) is the arrival of a “black looking vessel” in 1620. The cargo of this ship consisted of 20 hostages that the Dutch captain of the ship had captured along the African coast and brought to Jamestown to sell for profit to tobacco planters in the colonies. Records show that John bought six of these slaves. (Originally the slaves were to be considered indentured servants, but somehow that plan fell by the wayside.) If John had indeed been one of the orphans brought to the colonies as a laborer, he had not had time to make enough money since his arrival in Jamestown to be buying slaves. The slaves were registered as part of John’s household in 1623 but were not listed by individual names. They were designated simply as “Negars.” (These were not the first slaves brought to the colony. In 1619, the same year the Woodsons arrived, another ship captained by two English privateers brought “ twenty and odd” Angolans to sell. However, major trafficking in slaves did not take place until many years later.)

Life in Jamestown

Governor Yeardley got swiftly to work, establishing the House of Burgesses in 1619 right after his arrival and making major changes in how the colony was governed. For example, Yeardley was largely responsible for dividing the colony into four “citties” [sic], and 11 boroughs based on the 11 major plantations along the James River—basis for representatives for the House of Burgesses. He also established an iron works and had plans for a college for the colony. The iron works progressed enough to actually produce iron, but the massacre of 1622 brought the production to a halt. (The John Woodson who served as a member of the House of Burgesses for several terms between1769-1775 for the county of Goochland was our Dr. John’s great, great grandson [from Dr. John> to Robert> to John> to Josiah> to the Burgess John. ])

Life was not only difficult in Jamestown colony; it was dangerous. In the beginning the settlers were primarily men; the only women in the colonies were wives and children. However in 1619, the same year John and Sarah arrived, the Virginia Company sent 90 single women of good repute as potential wives for the male colonists to help populate the settlement. The women may have alarmed the already disgruntled Indians, for their presence meant that the colonists were in Jamestown to stay. They would continue to clear lands and encroach on Indian territory.

Indian Problems—Massacre of 1622

Relations between the Indians and the colonists had been strained but relatively peaceful under Chief Powhatan (Pocahantas’ father). However, this truce would change when Powhatan’s younger brother, Chief Opechancanough took over. Opechancanough was known as a ferocious warrior who hated the settlers. He had hated them since the time of John Smith when he felt that Smith had insulted or demeaned him. Opechancanough’s plan was to eradicate the whites totally. In a well-planned and coordinated strategic mission on 22 March 1622 (a Good Friday), the Indians attacked the settlements without warning. They hit both sides of the river and covered a large area both up- and downstream. In all, they massacred around 400 people and took many captives. About a third of the colonists were killed.

The raid would have been worse except for the actions of a young Indian boy named Chanco. Chanco had been ordered to murder his employer, Richard Pace. Instead of following orders, Chanco told Pace about Opechancanough’s plan the night before the proposed attack. Pace secured his own plantation then rowed across the James River to warn the colonists at Jamestown in time for them to make a little preparation. Unfortunately there was not time to warn everyone in all the farms, plantations, and towns. Some colonists were killed or captured at every settlement. Some places were totally wiped out. For example, of the 29 people at the iron works, 27 were killed—including 3 women and two children. The ironworks itself was destroyed. The settlers retaliated against the attackers and eventually drove them deeper into the forest. The fighting continued sporadically for about a year, then a shaky peace treaty was signed.

Treaty of 1623

The Indians were not the only ones to behave treacherously. When the Indians met with the colonists in Jamestown a year after the 1622 massacre to sign a peace treaty, Dr. John Potts and some of the other Jamestown leaders poisoned the Indians’ share of the liquor. The result was that 200 Indians died from the poison, and then Potts and others killed 50 more Indians by hand. No wonder Opechancanough did not think highly of the settlers. A very shaky peace lasted until about 1644.

The 1624 “Muster”

In 1624 a muster (or census) ”of the living and dead” was held. This muster was the first time in America that we have John and Sarah listed as man and wife. Also In 1624 the Yeardley’s sold Flower Dew Plantation to Abraham Piersey and the name was changed to Piersey’s Hundred. The1624 muster was held at Piersey’s Hundred. (Piersey’s/Flower Dew Plantation is still in existence and is owned and maintained as a public trust by the Flowerdew Hundred Foundation. It is today called Flower Dew Plantation.)

The Woodson Family Grows

In this hard and hostile environment, John and Sarah began their family. We know of three surviving children. There may have been others who did not survive.

1. John Woodson, Jr. (1632-1684) m. Sarah Browne (1632-1692) in c1677. Like his mother, John, Jr. may have been a Quaker. The couple had two sons, John, III, and Robert. John owned a good deal of land and operated a ferry across the James River.

2. Colonel Robert Woodson (1634-after 1707) m Elizabeth Ferris/Farris (1638-1689) in 1656. She was the daughter of Richard (1596-?) and Sarah Hambleton Ferris. The couple lived in Varina Parish. (Varina is the name of our ancestor William Hatcher’s Virginia plantation on the James River.) Robert and Elizabeth had 9 children: John, Robert, Richard, Elizabeth, Joseph Richard, Sarah, Benjamin, Judith, and Mary. Robert became a large landowner in the region.

3. Deborah Woodson (c1636/44-?) The only tangible evidence of Elizabeth’s existence is found in her mother’s will when she bequeathed a cow, a feather bed, and “tobackoes” to her daughter.

4. Richard Woodson (?-?) Other than his name, I could find no information about a child named Richard.

Move to Curles

Sometime around 1644 the Woodsons moved to Curles Plantation which was owned by Robert Ferris (n.d.). Curles was north of Flowerdew on the James River and was named after the land formation made by the river.

Massacre of 1644

On 18 April 1644 the smoldering Indian resentment against the colonists broke out again when Chief Opechankano led a massive attack against the settlers, slaughtering around 300 settlers before the colonists were able to drive the attackers away. Casualties at Fleur de Hundred (Piersey’s Hundred) were not high, probably because it was a palisaded settlement. (A palisade is a fence of long, strong stakes, pointed at the top and set close together as a defense.) John and Sarah might still have been living at Piersey’s Hundred on 18 April 1644, but they had probably already moved to Curles. In any event, both John and Sarah survived. The next day, however, the Indians struck again.

The account of John and Sarah’s fate during the Massacre of 1644 can be found in almost every discussion of the Woodson family. The details vary somewhat from story to story, but in each case Sarah’s heroism, quick thinking, and bravery are paramount.

On 19 April 1644, the day after the 1644 massacre, Dr. John Woodson had gone to check on the welfare of some of his patients. While he was gone, the Indians attacked again. Sarah was in their home with her sons, John, Jr., and Robert, who were at the time 12 and 10 respectively. (Daughter Deborah is not mentioned in any of the accounts of the attack. Perhaps Sarah was pregnant with her; perhaps the girl was easier to hide than the boys; in any event, she survived. In addition, if her date of birth is correct, Sarah was 54 years old in 1644. That also means she had borne children at 42-44 years of age.)

A visitor named Thomas or Robert Ligon was also in the Woodson’s home. (Most accounts do not mention his first name and simply call him Ligon.) Ligon may have come to warn the Woodsons, for they did have a little time to prepare. Sarah gave Ligon her husband’s gun, an old, 8-foot-long, muzzle loading rifle. He quickly found a notched tree branch in the yard to use to brace the gun. In the meantime, Sarah hid John, Jr., under a washtub and had Robert get into a hole in the floor that the family used for storing potatoes. She hoped that the boys would be safely hidden if the attackers managed to get inside the house.

Sarah also put a large pot of water on the fire to boil so that it could be used as a possible weapon. (See story of our Ancestor Timothy Ragan's son, Reason Ragan, in the Archives. He and his family were involved in the Wood River Massacre. Go to top of this page and click link to previously published articles.) Sarah and Ligon worked as a team to use the large gun: Sarah loaded it, and Ligon fired it. When the Indians attacked the cabin, Ligon killed three Indians with his first shot. With the second shot he killed two more. Suddenly Sarah realized two Indians were on the roof, trying to come down the chimney. She took her bedding off the bed and threw it into the fireplace. The resulting smoke overcame the Indians who fell down the chimney. One fell into the boiling water and was scalded. (Some versions say Sarah threw the water on him.) Next, Sarah grabbed the roasting spit from the fireplace and brained the other. Both Indians were killed.

Turning once more to the threat of howling Indians outside, Sarah and Ligon put the gun to work again, killing two more attackers. In all, they had fired 3 shots. With 9 Indians dead, the remainder fled. As soon as the Indians were gone, Sarah called her two sons from their hiding places. Tradition has it that for several years afterward the boys bore the nicknames “Tub” and “Potato Hole.” In addition, Woodson researchers often ask the question, “Are you a Tub Woodson or Potato Hole Woodson?” (We are Potato Hole Woodsons.)

When the Indian attack began, Dr. Woodson was on his way home. We do not know whether or not he knew that a new attack was underway. When he came to an open area in sight of his house, the Indians set upon him and killed him. Ligon and Sarah found John Woodson’s body when they went outside after driving the Indians away. He was probably killed before the Indians attacked the house. He was 58 years old.

Colonel Thomas Ligon

The identity of the mysterious “Ligon” became a crusade with me. Every story I read gave a different version of who he was. Some said he was an old schoolteacher; others that he was an itinerant shoe maker; one that he was a militia man. Only two sources gave a first name: One Thomas, one Robert. Rather than continue with Woodson accounts of the attack, I started searching for Ligon family versions. There I found that Colonel Thomas Ligon (1586/1625-1675) had arrived in VA in 1641 with his cousin Sir William Berkeley, the Royal Governor of Virginia. Ligon was from a titled family, but when he did not inherit lands or money, he came to Virginia .

The arrival date of 1641 is fairly certain. His date of birth, however, is not. Some sources say he was born in 1586 and some say 1625. That is a big difference. He would either be 55 or 16 when he arrived and 58 or 19 during the massacre. (Some say the 1586 date may be the birth date of his father. On the other hand, most versions of the story seem to indicate that the man helping Sarah defend her home was old. In addition, a 16-year-old would be less likely to have already married in England and become a widower before traveling to VA, which was true for Ligon. For the other side, 1586 also makes Ligon fathering children from ages 66-77, for he married a second time in VA in 1648-1650 at age 62-64 to a woman who was born in 1625 and was 23-25 years old at the time.) It’s a toss-up.

Thomas Ligon had only been in Jamestown Colony 2 or 3 years when the 1644 massacre occurred, but that became part of his initiation into public service. He was already a member of the VA militia, and by 1669 attained the rank of Lt. Col.. He was elected to the House of Burgesses in 1644-1645 right after the massacre; was a Justice for Charles City Co. in 1657; a Burgess for Henrico Co. in 1656, and a surveyor in 1667. I believe who this man was may be more evidence for Story One. Whatever his age, Col. Thomas Ligon was a man of public stature. Whether this man was a visitor as some accounts say, or whether he set out to warn the Woodsons, John and Sarah seem to have had some fairly influential friends and acquaintances.

Several weeks after the massacre, Opechancano was captured and executed. (Some versions say he was murdered in his jail cell by one [or several] of his guards )

The Gun

The 8-foot-long gun is still in existence, though now a bit shorter. At some point the name Ligon was carved into the gunstock. For a long time the weapon was kept by descendants of the Woodsons in Prince George County, VA. By 1915 the gun was owned by a Lynchburg, VA attorney, William V. Wilson. At some point Mrs. C. W. Venable, a Woodson descendant, came into possession of the gun. Her husband examined the weapon and wrote about it: “The gun is, by exact measurement, seven feet six inches in length, and the bore is so large that I can easily put my whole thumb into it. When first made it was 8 feet long, but on account of some injury it was sent to England to be repaired and the gunsmith cut off 6 inches of the barrell. [sic]” In 1927 Mrs. Venable gave the gun to The Virginia Historical Society, and it is today on permanent exhibit in the Virginia Museum in Richmond. Examinations have shown the gun to predate1625.

Life after 1644

The Woodsons were probably already living at Curles in 1644. (I found one source that said John was listed as head of household at Curles in 1629, but could find no other proof to verify this nor even the name of the list he was on.) At Curles the boys grew to adulthood and prospered. Robert married Elizabeth Farris, daughter of the owner of Curles plantation. (Elizabeth’s parents had spelled their surnameFerris, but for some reason, Elizabeth used Farris.) Sons John and Robert were listed among the “Tythables” at Curles in 1679 so they were still there at that time.

Eventually both John and Robert became large landowners (holding almost 2,000 acres), but the land holdings dwindled as they parceled land out one way or another among their children. Several of John and Sarah’s children and descendants became Quakers, and Quaker meetings were held at Curles Plantation. John, Jr., married twice. He and his second wife, Sarah Browne, operated a ferry across the James River. After his death, his wife asked for and received from the county 2,000 pounds of tobacco a year for running the ferry. Apparently they were doing very well, for when Sarah Browne Woodson died, she left all of her personal possessions to the children of her first marriage.

Sarah (Winston) Woodson’s life after John’s death is not clearly defined. She outlived her husband by 16 years, and some say that during this time she used her medical knowledge (gleaned from her husband) to care for the sick and injured. She did remarry, but not much is known about her spouse(s). Some say she first married a man named Dunwell. With him she had a daughter named Elizabeth (based on the daughter Elizabeth mentioned in her will). Sarah died c1660 at about 70 years of age and is buried in Henrico Co., VA. She was a brave woman who dealt with the times as best she could and managed to do what was necessary to survive.

Sarah’s Will

Sometime before 17 Jan 1660 when they were recorded, Sarah Woodson Johnson made a combination inventory and nuncupative (oral) will. (Oral or not, somebody evidently wrote Sarah’s wishes down.) Today this will is interesting for several reasons: the people she mentioned, the items considered of value, and the spelling of the time. The inventory of her estate included: “2 cows, feather bed, chest, 2 hifer, 1 spitt, 1 pott, 1 pewter, 1 pewter dish, 1 wooden dish, a Taylos..Iron and shayres, (just a guess: the Taylos iron and shayres” may have been sewing implements: a tailor’s iron and shears).” Also included were: “1 wascott with a sarge peticote.” Of this inventory, daughter Deborah Woodson received “a cow, [the feather] bed and tobackoes” (Actually these items were to be used by Robert Woodson for Deborah’s maintenance. She may have still been single at this time. She would have been between 16-24) Son John Woodson, Jr., received a cow. Daughter Elizabeth Dunwell received a “cow and calf, hifer and waiscott and peticott.” Nothing is mentioned about maintenance for Elizabeth, even though she at 16 years or less would have been younger than Deborah. However, after Robert Woodson received “tobackoes and pitt and pott,” the remainder was to go to “Elz Dunwell.” Perhaps Elz was Elizabeth, and this remainder was part of her inheritance or “maintenance.”

John and Sarah Woodson left many descendants—some famous, some not. Two of interest are Dolly Todd Madison, wife of President James Madison, and Frank and Jesse James, the famous outlaws. (Jesse’s middle name was Woodson.)

Now it’s time to decide which story is correct. Were John and Sarah rich or poor? Does it really matter? If they were indeed from the privileged classes, we can admire their bravery in coming to the colonies. If they were two of the orphans on board the George, we can admire the courage, pluck, and tenacity required to make something of themselves after their arrival. In either case we’re lucky to have them as ancestors.
