William Watkins will, Halifax Co, VA

The will of William Watkins of Halifax Co, VA (WB 3, p.137, signed 13 Sep 1794, proved 27 Oct 1794) is related to that of Abraham Womack in 1797 in Hancock Co, GA (see previous blog post). William Watkins mentions daughter "Patsey Womack" to whom he leaves slaves Jude and Hannah. Patsey was a common nickname for Martha. In Abraham Womack's will, he leaves wife Martha Womack slaves Jude and Hannah.

The will of William Watkins has been transcribed verbatim here; however some paragraphs appear to have been missed. I have a detailed abstract of the will from Halifax County, Virginia Wills, 17992-1797, copyright 1991, by TLC Genealogy, Miami Beach, FL. Below, I have copied the incomplete transcription, and inserted missing parts from the abstract, which are in red. Note that the abstract parts are not verbatim from the original will, which I have not personally seen.
