- "At his home at Zanesfield, Logan county, Ohio 8th month, 27th, 1883, Lemuel Watkins, age 78 years, 7 months, and 7 days.
A member of Goshen meeting for more than 50 Years. Has always been faithful in attending meeting twice a week, but did not make a public profession until a few years ago, when he realized the joys of God's salvation. Since then, when able to be there, has not only had a seat in the house of God, but his voice was often heard in testimony and sometimes in prayer.
While passing through the most intense suffering, he said if it was not for the hope he had, the pain would be much harder to bear. He died in the triumphs of living faith, and a hope of glorious immortality beyond the grave."

"About one-half of the eastern part of Warren township was originally settled almost exclusively by Friends, commonly called Quakers. They came chiefly from the southern states, many of the pioneers being the heads of young and growing families, were stimulated to the movement by a desire to remove without the blighting influence of human slavery, against which their religious principles required them to bear a consistent testimony, and being unwilling that their children should grow up in the midst of its corrupting influences, they left, in many instances good lands in a genial clime, to set themselves down to a life of privations and hardships incident to pioneer life in the forest north of the Ohio river...
In 1811, ... Reuben Watkins, wife and five sons, ..., from Dinwiddie county, Va. "
