Notes |
- This man was called "Chickahominy Tom" to distinguish him from his long-lived father, "Thomas of Swift Creek." "Chickahominy Tom" married Frances Anderson, daughter of Henry and Prudence (Stratton) Anderson of Wintopock Creek in what is now Chesterfield County. Thomas farmed his father's land in southeastern Henrico County and he reached out for new lands in what are now Charlotte and Prince Edward Counties. In 1746, Thomas and "Frances his wife" sold some land in Henrico County. In 1752, "Thomas Watkins Junr." bought 773 acres "on south side of Chickahominy Swamp." He would remain on that land in northeastern Henrico County close to the Bottom's Bridge crossing of the Chickahominy for the rest of his life,...
