I also have another copy of a periodical entitled "Historical Genealogy of the Woodsons and Their Connections".

In this periodical there is an entry which reads:37 Elizabeth, 4 was undoubtedly born in Henrico, as her father lived and died in that county.It appears that her father had two daughters named Elizabeth--one by each
wife--the elder sister married John Povall and athis one married John Knight and settled in Lunenburg county he died and his will was proved March 12, 1772, and names wife Elizabeth and ten children.The will was witnessed by Miller Woodson and Thomas Jeffres. (See Wm. and Mary Qtly., Volume X, p.46.)
