Date and place of marriage to Edward Mosby have also been (erroneously?) reported to be September 10, 1716 at Curles Neck Plantation, Varina District, Henrico County, Virginia.

The Watkins Family

• Mary Watkins, who married Nicholas Hutchins, was the daughter of Henry Watkins. But on the Quaker Records of that time are found Henry Watkins, Sen., and Henry Watkins, Jun., father and son.
• The following is mostly quotation from various sources.
• One of the most interesting families of Virginia is the distinguished Watkins Family, whose earliest positive identified family is Henry Watkins, born 1637, at Malvern Hills. There were earlier Watkins.
• In the General Court Records, a Henry Watkins is mentioned 1623, 1624, 1627 as overseer of the plantation of Lady Dale, not far distant from Malvern Hills.
• In 1634, a deed mentions a Henry Watkins owning land in such position that we have a Henry Watkins living in 1634, not more than ten miles from Malvern Hills, where Henry Watkins was born 1637. It has been impossible so far to connect Henry Watkins, 1637, to the other Watkins of that time.
• This family distinguished socially and politically has been an object of research for many years.
• The great Statesman, Henry Clay, was a descendant of this family.
• Henry Watkins, senior, who died 1717, did not leave a will. He had previously deeded his land to his sons, William, Joseph, Edward, Henry, and Thomas. Court records show that he had a daughter, Elizabeth.
• Henry Watkins, junior, born 1660, in his will 1714, left his small estate to his wife, Mary, and his sons, John, Benjamin, Joseph, Henry, and Stephen.
• The most we can say is that Mary Watkins Hutchins was a daughter or a grand daughter of Henry Watkins, 1637.
