Although the record listed the date of probate as November 19,
1772, I believe this is a mistake. The page placement of the
will indicates the probate was in 1771 and the next prior
document was filed on November 19, 1771. Whatever the correct
date, this record identifies the family of Martha Judkins as
follows :
Children:
1) Charles Judkins,
2) Mary (Judkins) Barham,
3) Sarah (Judkins) Barham,
4) Ann (Judkins) Mooring,
5) Joseph Judkins,
6) Samuel Judkins, and
7) Jesse Judkins,
Grandchild: 1) Patty Thompson.
On March 17, 1772, at Surry County, Virginia, D. & W.B. lOa/189 an inventory of the estate of Martha Judkins dated January 4, 1772, was filed:
