Although the record listed the date of probate as November 19,

that Elizabeth (Judkins) Burt was a daughter of 1798 Jacob
Judkins of Surry County and Sarah ( ) Judkins, married
Edward Burt on July 14, 1796, and that they had the following
children:
1) Polly Burt,
2) Patsy Burt, and
3) William Burt .
However, in her letter dated January 29, 1995, Norma J.
Pennington stated that either Susanna Judkins or Mary Judkins
could have married a Burt and died before Sarah
( ) Judkins, thereby generating the four Burt
grandchildren mentioned in Sarah ( ) Judkins' will. The
reason for this possibility is that Jacob Judkins had a son
Joseph Judkins who was born before Sarah ( ) Judkins wrote
her will and was not mentioned in that will, suggesting that the
Burt grandchildren mentioned were children of a deceased child
and not children of a living child. Elizabeth (Judkins) Burt was
mentioned in Sarah ( ) Judkins' will, thus suggesting that
the Burt grandchildren were not hers. Further research will be
required to confirm the identity of these Burt grandchildren.

The identification of her brothers John C. Judkins, William
Judkins, and Jacob Judkins identify this Lucy Judkins as the
daughter of 1798 Jacob Judkins of Surry County and Sarah
( ) Judkins.
In her letter dated January 26, 1988, Kathi Abendroth
enclosed family group sheets prepared by Mary Dent which stated
that Lucy (Judkins) Logan was a daughter of 1798 Jacob Judkins of
Surry County and Sarah ( ) Judkins and married James Logan
on November 11, 1805. However, since Lucy was named as Judkins
and not Logan in the will of Sarah ( ) Judkins written in
1820, fifteen years after the 1805 marriage date, it seems
unlikely that the Lucy Judkins who married James Logan was the
daughter of 1798 Jacob Judkins and Sarah ( ) Judkins. In
addition, the marriage bond of Lucy Judkins and James Logan
listed her as the daughter of John Judkins, not Jacob Judkins.

In her letter dated June 29, 1987, Norma J. Pennington
enclosed family group sheets which stated that in 1762 at Surry
County, Virginia, Orphans Accounts Book 1762-83/12 Jesse Judkins
was appointed guardian for Thomas Judkins.
In The Judkins Journal , Vol. 6/3, Mrs. Norma Pennington
stated as follows:
"Thomas Judkins An Account is filed for Thomas by Jessee
Judkins, his guardian from August 1762-15 September 1767.
In 1767 John Andrews was paid cash "to learn him a trade."
Further research of John Andrews may disclose this trade."
In The Judkins Journal , Vol. 7/1, Mrs. Norma Pennington
stated that Thomas Judkins was a witness to a deed dated 1778 and

However, based on the information set forth below, this was
probably not a marriage of Thomas Judkins, the son of 1760
William Judkins of Surry County.
In The Judkins Journal, Vol. 7/1, Mrs. Norma Pennington
stated that in 1820 at Warren County, North Carolina,
Book 22/266, Thomas Judkins was granted a license to keep a
tavern in his house and that on September 11, 1825, at Warren
County, North Carolina, D.B. 25/353 Lavina Judkins, widow of
Thomas Judkins, and his two sons James W. Judkins and Thomas J.
Judkins sold 550 acres of land on Little Fishing Creek to John
0345(090900) 150
Surges of Halifax County, North Carolina. Mrs. Pennington also
stated that :
"Lavina wrote her will 2 December 1825, leaving the
following bequests, "First I give and bequeath to Thos . J.
Judkins my dearly beloved son, the sum of one hundred cents,
to be raised and levied out of my estate . . also, I give to
my well beloved son Jas . W. Judkins whom I likewise
constitute, make and ordain the sole executor of this my
last will and Testement, all my property arising from the
Estate (of my husband) Thomas Judkins deed. Also one bond
for Seven hundred dollars, Executed to me by said Jas. W.
Judkins by him freely to be possessed and enjoyed."
It certainly appears James was the favored son, but perhaps
Thomas received a large inheritance from his father.
We have no record of the events that occurred between the
day Lavina wrote her will and 2 8 Nov 182 6, but on that day
Thomas J. Judkins, not James W. Judkins, appeared at court
and posted a bond as administrator with the will annexed of
the estate of Lavina Judkins. there appears to be no
further record of James W. Judkins in Warren County. Did he
die between 2 Dec 1825 and 28 Nov. 1826, or did he join the
movement west or south in search of cheap and fertile land?
Thomas J. stayed in Warren County. Records show he married
Rebecca Ingram (d/o Benjamin Ingram annd Letteuce Perry) of
Franklin Co., N.C., 22 Jan. 1824.
There is a portion of Warren County, North Carolina deep in
tobacco country southeast of Warrenton, known as JUDKINS
DISTRICT. A 1931 map of the country, which can be purchased
at the courthouse, is illustrated with sketches of
historical places. It shows the Thomas Judkins house, a
large one and a half storied building with massive chimneys
on either end, and lists c. 1800 as the time of
construction. "
In her letter dated January 26, 1988, Kathi Abendroth
enclosed family group sheets prepared by Mary Dent which stated
that Thomas Judkins was a son of 1760 William Judkins of Surry
County and married Dolly Price on January 3, 1797, but given the
0345(090900)
151.
presence of Thomas Judkins in North Carolina in 1778 and the
identification of his widow as Lavina, it seems unlikely that
Thomas Judkins, son of 1760 William Judkins, was the Thomas
Judkins who married Dolly Price.
(I) James W. Judkins
James W. Judkins was a son of
Thomas Judkins and Lavina ( ) Judkins. (1672 Samuel-^,
1705 Samuel^ 1760 John^ 1760 William^ Thomas^)
In The Judkins Journal , Vol. 7/1, Mrs. Norma Pennington
stated that in 1820 at Warren County, North Carolina,
Book 22/266, Thomas Judkins was granted a license to keep a
tavern in his house and that on September 11, 1825, at Warren
County, North Carolina, D.B. 25/353 Lavina Judkins, widow of
Thomas Judkins, and his two sons James W. Judkins and Thomas J.

We have no record of the events that occurred between the
day Lavina wrote her will and 28 Nov 182 6, but on that day-
Thomas J. Judkins, not James W. Judkins, appeared at court
and posted a bond as administrator with the will annexed of
the estate of Lavina Judkins . there appears to be no
further record of James W. Judkins in Warren County. Did he
die between 2 Dec 1825 and 28 Nov. 1826, or did he join the
movement west or south in search of cheap and fertile land?
Thomas J. stayed in Warren County. Records show he married
Rebecca Ingram (d/o Benjamin Ingram annd Letteuce Perry) of
Franklin Co., N.C., 22 Jan. 1824 . . . ."
(II) 1866 Thomas J. Judkins And His Wife
Rebecca (Ingram) Judkins
1866 Thomas J. Judkins was a son of
Thomas Judkins and Lavina ( ) Judkins. (1672 Samuel-"-,

iii . Jordan Judkins And His Wife Sarah
"Sally" (Warren) Judkins
Jordan Judkins was a son of 1760 William
Judkins of Surry County and Rebeccah ( ) Judkins. (1672
Samuels 1705 SamuelS 1760 John\ 1760 William*)
The Black Water Monthly Meeting Records, Surry County,
Virginia, listed the birth of Sarah Warren, daughter of Samuel
Warren, Sr., and Hannah (Inman) Warren, on October 26, 1760.
The will of William Judkins dated on December 10, 1760, and
probated on December 16, 1760, at Surry County, Virginia, D. &
W.B. 10/238 listed Jordan Judkins as one of his children:
". . . . Item: I Give & Bequeath to my Two sons Jordan
Judkins and Mark Judkins the Land that I purchased of Anslem
Bailey and the Land I purchased of John Hawkins lying in
Granvill County in No. Carolina to be equally Divided
Between them & their Heirs forever. ..."
In The Judkins Journal, Vol. 6/3, Mrs. Norma Pennington
stated as follows:
"Jordan Judkins In Surry County Order Book 1764-74, p. 267
17 September 1771 - Jordan Judkins made choice of Samuel
Judkins for his guardian. This would indicate Jordan had
reached the age of 14 at which time he could choose his own
guardian. In the orphan's account for 1772 Jordan is
provided a horse which costs 18 pounds and also a saddle and
bridle. At a court held for Surry Co., 22 August 1775,
Jordan came into court, most likely riding that same horse,
and acknowledged to have received full satisfaction of his
late guardian, Samuel Judkins, indicating that he had come
of age . "
In her letter dated June 29, 1987, Norma J. Pennington
enclosed family group sheets which stated that Jordan Judkins was

born about 1757, and on September 17, 1771, at Surry County,
Virginia, Court Order Book IIG^-IA:/ he chose Samuel Judkins as
his guardian, and that Jordan Judkins moved to Seacock Swamp,
Sussex County, Virginia.
The marriage bond of Jordan Judkins and Sally Warren,
daughter of Samuel Warren was dated on October 6, 1783, at Surry
County, Virginia, with Mark Judkins as surety and Thomas Sprately
as a witness:
"Know all Men by these Presents That We Jordan Judkins and

The identification of Joseph Bryant Judkins as a grandson
and John E. Evans as a deceased son and the condition that Joseph

This record clearly identifies the family of 1803 William Judkins
of Iredell County, North Carolina, as follows:
Wife: Lucy ( ) Judkins
Children: 1) (Judkins) Moorman, wife of Thomas
Moorman,
2) David Judkins,
3) Joel Judkins,
4) (Judkins) Francis, wife of John
Francis ,
5) John Judkins,
6) (Judkins) Richardson, wife of Samuel
Richardson, and
7) (Judkins) Terrell, wife of Henry
Terrell .

The listing of Lucy Judkins, Joel Judkins, David Judkins, and
Henry Terrell as legatees of 1803 William Judkins of Iredell
County, North Carolina, ties this William Judkins with the
William Judkins whose wife was Lucy ( ) Judkins and whose
sons Joel and David appeared in the Campbell County, Virginia,
Personal Property Tax Lists, and whose daughter Charity married
Henry Terrell in Campbell County, Virginia, in 1797. The
listing of Thomas Moorman as a legatee was probably a mistake of
omission. As set forth above, William Judkins' daughter Rebecca
married Thomas Moorman Terrell and the partition of William
Wright's land which listed Thomas Moorman probably inadvertantly
left off the Terrell.

In her letter dated February 14, 1995, Norman J. Pennington
enclosed an excerpt from "Mark Twain's Virginia Kin", by-
Charles O. Paullin, Genealogies of Virginia Families, Volume I,
which stated that :
"On October 21, 1854, Jane and Orion Clemens, Pamela Clemens
Moffett, and William A. Moffett sold their holdings in Mason
County. They are, respectively, the mother, brother,
sister, and brother-in-law of Twain .... It was in 1805,
or the following year, that Pamela's first cousins, Thomas
and John Hope Moorman, of Campbell County, Va., when on a
trip to Ohio, paid her a visit. Their journal records that
from Point Pleasant, the county seat of Mason County, they
went 'up the Ohio River six miles to Cousin Parmela Clemens
and rested there two nights and one day' (Tyler's Quarterly
Historical and Genealogical Magazine, VII, 87) ."
These records indicate that the Thomas Moorman Terrell who
married Rebeckah Judkins was probably the same person as Thomas
Moorman of the Division and Allotment of the land of 1803 William
Judkins and the Thomas Moorman of Campbell County who visited
Pamela Clemens in 1805 or 1806. Further research will be
required to ascertain why he would have changed his name by
dropping the Terrell .

James Judkins of Mt . Pleasant, Ohio, dated in 1820:
"I have understood that my great grandfather and one of his
brothers came from some part of England or Wales to America
some 130 or 140 years ago, about 1680, and settled near the
line between Sussex and Surry counties in the State of Va
and upon Black Water River. I think his name was John
Judkins. My grandfather, whose name was Robert Judkins,
lived and died there. I never saw him, though I have been
there while grandmother lived. My father Nicholas Judkins
was born in the year 1724. After he became man's age, he
worked considerably about being a carpenter by trade. About
the 30th year of his age he married Mary Anderson, daughter
of Carolus Anderson. Whether Carolus Anderson was from
Scotland or whether he had parents in America, I have not
learned, having never heard of any other of the family in
this country. I think there was none. My mother had two
sisters, and one brother who died young in life. One of my
aunts removed about the year 1770 to New River, Onslow
county, in the State of NC where I expect these Edwards are
living still, or their descendants are. A few years after,
my uncle Warren moved to Burke County on the Ogeeche River
in the state of Georgia, except my aunt who died on the way.
As I said, my father married Mary Anderson, I suppose about
0345 (090900)
361
the year 1755 and settled on the Maheron river in
Northampton county in the state of NC. They had two
children Robert and Sarah who both died before I was born.
After they were married, notwithstanding they lived remote
from Friends meeting, yet they became convinced of the
principles of Friends and lived and died respectable members
of the Friends society. My parents had eight children, the
two above named and John, Jesse, Myself, Joel, Faith and
Carolus . My two brothers John and Jesse died about their
22nd year of age. My father died on the 2 5th day of the 3rd
month, 1783, and mother died the 29th day of the 12th month,
1789, each of them about sixty years of age, and were buried
in the old burying-ground where Grandfather Anderson and
family were buried. My father never enjoyed good health
much of his time while I knew him. It was different with my
mother, who enjoyed good health generally, as the climate of
her birth place agreed well with her. I was born, according
to accounts, on the 8th day of the fourth month, 1760, and
lived fourteen years with my parents, during which time I
had but little good health. I had the fever and ague
considerable of the time. After this time, I went to a
trade (Hatting) with Sampson Stanton, in Southampton County,
Virginia - a very healthful place. At this time I was a
very curious looking person. I was very poor, my neck veins
large, and a large chest. I continued so the best part of a
year, after which I became more healthy; the ague cake in my
side quite disappeared.
While I was an apprentice, I became acquainted with your
mother, about nine or ten years old. She was living with
her grandfather on the same plantation; we were sometimes
playmates. After serving out my apprenticeship, I returned
home and set up for myself. On the 19th day of the 10th
month, 1783, I was married to Martha Stanton, her mother
having been dead nearly eighteen years. My wife's mother's
maiden name was Thweart , of a respectable family in
Virginia. Our children were seven in number, viz: John,
Mary, William, James, Stanton, Anderson and Martha Judkins,
all of whom I have raised, educated and lived to see
married. Your mother, from my first acquaintance with her,
enjoyed very good health, and for a few years before her
death she became quite fleshy, so much so that she could not
wear some of her clothes which she had a year or two back.
She was of a very industrious and saving disposition. In
the winter of 1797, in the time of a very deep snow, she was
out where we were taking care of some lambs, and took a
severe cold, which continued to increase as long as she
lived, having settled in consumption. I had all done that
0345 (090900)
362
could be done, without moving the complaint. (My mother was
of a Strumous diathasis, WJ) . On the night of the 8th day
of the 10th month, 1799, in the evening she was where the
girls were milking the cows in the yard, giving some
directions about her business, after which she came in - I
thought as well as she had been for some time past. I went
out where we had some corn to husk in the field, and there
had a number of negroes collected for that purpose. They
were very noisy, as in common there. We got done about ten
o'clock at night. I went to the house alone, there being no
white person but myself there. She would have me eat
something, after which I went to bed, and she put Martha,
the babe, by me. The family went up to bed, and she soon
got ready and came and lay down, but directly took a violent
cough - I thought more than common. She spoke to me, I rose
up; the cough continued, with a discharge of blood so
profuse as to come very near strangling her, which
continued, say a minute or two. I think she discharged a
pint at least of blood. After it subsided, she was very
much exhausted. I did not think it safe to leave her that
night; she needed my attention throughout the night, though
never after discharged as much blood at a time. She was
never able to be about after this night. She was very
sensible of her approaching dissolution, and gave me some
very tender and affectionate advice, and was resigned to her
fate. She continued to grow weaker every day, until about
six o'clock in the evening of the 14th, found she was going.
I left the room - she called me. I stepped to her bedside;
she raised up and took my hand, expressed some tender
sentiments, and quietly passed away. She was born on the
22nd day of the 2nd month, 1765. We were married on the
19th day of the 10th month, 1783, and she departed this life
on the 14th day of the 10th month, 1799, aged 34 years, 7
months, and 8 days. She was buried in Friends' Burying
Ground at Richsquare, in Northampton County, North Carolina.
Being left alone with a family of little children, I found I
must either break up housekeeping or get some help to raise
them, and being acquainted for a considerable time with the
family of Jacob Parker on Bear Swamp near Richsquare
meeting. I married his daughter Abigail on the 21st day of
the 1st month, 1801. She was born the 22nd day of the 2nd
month 1776, just eleven years younger than your mother, and
who, after meriting the name of an affectionate wife, a good
step-mother, etc. departed this life the 1st day of the 8th
month, 1821, aged 45 years, 5 months and 9 days, leaving me
five children, viz: Sarah, Anna, Robert, Jesse and Parker
0345(090900)
363
Judkins, and I am yet spared to experience more of the cares
and trials incident to our nature. What is to become of me
and my charge I cannot see, though I have the consolation to
think that after raising so many children, they, while young
and able, will pay all necessary attention. I removed from
Meherin River in the year 1800 to near Richsquare meeting,
and in the spring of 1806 came here.

In America Since 1607 also stated that Nicholas Judkins was
the son of Robert Judkins and ( ) Judkins, was
born in 1724 in Sussex or Surry County, Virginia, married Mary
Anderson in 1755, died on March 25, 1783, and was buried at the
Anderson burying ground, that Mary (Anderson) Judkins was the
daughter of Carolus Anderson, died on December 29, 1789, and was
buried at the Anderson burying ground, and that Nicholas Judkins
and Mary (Anderson) Judkins had the following children:
1) Robert Judkins, born in 1754 or 1755,
0345 (090900) 3 64.
2) Sarah Judkins, born 1755 to 1757,
3) John Judkins, born in 1757 or 1758,
4) Jesse Judkins, born in 1758 or 1759,
5) James Judkins, born on April 8, 1760, at North
Carolina,
6) Joel Judkins, born about 1762,,
7) Faith Judkins, born about 1764, and
8) Carolus Judkins, born about 1767.
The Judkins Journal , Volume 8, Number 3, stated that
Nicholas Judkins and Mary (Anderson) Judkins were Quakers and had
the following children:
1) Robert Judkins,
2) Sarah Judkins,
3 ) John Judkins ,
4) Jesse Judkins,
5) James Judkins,
6) Joel Judkins,
7) Faith Judkins, and
8) Carolus Judkins, born about 1767 or 1768 at Northampton
County, North Carolina.
Norma J. Pennington in her article in The Judkins Journal ,
Volume 9, Number 1, identified Nicholas Judkins as the son of
1761 Robert Judkins of Sussex County and his wife Faith
0345 (090900)
365
( ) Judkins . That conclusion was based on the following
arguments .
First, James Judkins was unsure of the name of his great
grandfather and thought it was John Judkins. However, no records
have yet been found of a John Judkins in Surry County in the
1680 's. The only family found so far is that of 1672 Samuel
Judkins of Surry County and his sons 17 05 Samuel Judkins of Surry
County, 1693 Robert Judkins of Surry County, and 1710 Charles of
Surry County. The uncertainty of James Judkins' identification
of his great grandfather makes possible that it was 1693 Robert
Judkins of Surry County rather than John Judkins .
Second, James Judkins identified his grandfather as Robert
Judkins and that he died near the Blackwater River in Surry
County and that he never saw his grandfather. James Judkins was
born on May 8, 1760, and 1761 Robert Judkins died in 1761 in
Sussex County, Virginia, which is consistent with James Judkins'
story. James Judkins also stated that he was there when his
grandmother lived. Faith ( ) Judkins apparently survived
her husband, which would be consistent with James Judkins' story.
Third, James Judkins was apprenticed at age 14 to Sampson
Stanton. Mrs. Pennington identified that Sampson Stanton as the
son of James Stanton and grandson of James Stanton, who in turn
was the second husband of Elizabeth ( ) (Judkins) Stanton,
the widow of 1693 Robert Judkins of Surry County.

"Flushing Newspaper account of the "Death of J. P. Judkins":
The death of J. P. Judkins, one of the oldest citizens of
Flushing, occurred at his home last Tuesday morning, August
the second, 1898.
After many months of suffering from the infirmities of age,
the weary body has lain down to rest, the spirit has
returned to Him who gave it, and a home is broken up and
left desolate.
Father Judkins came to this place in 1849 and although he
has been for several years unable to take part in the active
pursuits of life, he was for many years previous, engaged in
the mercantile business. He was also postmaster for a
number of years. He was honest and upright in his dealings
with his fellow man, generous and social and had many
friends, the majority of whom preceded him into the Unknown.
Jonathan P. Judkins was born in Mount Pleasant, Ohio,
October 23rd, 1813. He was married in 1841 to Elizabeth
Elliott, with whom he lived for fifty-five years. To them
were born four children, two of whom, with his wife, are
0345(090900)
384
deceased. One son, J. E. Judkins, of Flushing, and a
daughter, Mary, at home, are still living. Although feeling
the affliction of a weakened body, he was ever a cheerful
and pleasant companion, and until within a few years, was
more like a man of sixty than of four score. His had been
an active, useful life and many are the changes that he has
seen wrought in this community. He was of Quaker parentage
but became a member of the M.E. Church and during his life
was one of its most liberal supporters."

oratrixes, John Judkins, Frederick Judkins, Patsey Judkins,

oratrixes, and their sister Sally who intermarried with
Edward Pennington, who in due form of law obtained from this
court administration of the said estate. That the intestate
left no widow. That the said intestate owed some debts to
what amount has not yet been ascertained. That the said
intestate by way of advancement in his lifetime gave and
delivered to his son your orator John a mare of the value of
about Thirty pounds, and also gave and delivered to the said
Edward Pennington and Sally his wife one negro woman called
Anaky and two children one called Moggy, and the other
Douglas, and the said Anaky after the advancement made and
while in the possession of the said Pennington had two other
children, one called Sam and the other called Andrew, and
also gave and delivered to the said Pennington one black
mare of the value of Thirty pounds, and one feather bed and
furniture. That the parties aforesaid are willing to divide
the said Lands, and as many of the slaves as can with
propriety be divided, leaving a fund sufficient in the hands
of the said administrator to pay the debts and expenses of
administration. In tender consideration whereof your
orators and oratrixes pray the aid of this court in equity.
To the end therefore that the said Edward Pennington, and
Sally his wife as defendants to this bill may truly answer
the premises and that your worships will be pleased to
decree and order that the said lands may be equally divided
between the heirs aforesaid, that the advancements aforesaid
may be brought into Hotchpot . That the said defendant the
administrator may shew statement of the debts due by the
intestate and the assets in his hands. That the said slaves

your worships shall seem just and meet. May it please your
worships the premises considered ScC . to grant the

The joint and several answer of Edward Pennington
administrator of Charles Judkins deceased, and of the said
Edward Pennington and Sally, his wife, to the bill of
complaint exhibited against them in the court of Sussex
County, by John Judkins and others, complainants.
These defendants saving and reserving to themselves all
benefit of exceptions, etc. to the said bill for answer say
That they have the same interest in the estate mentioned in
the bill as the complainants. And the said defendant Edward
Pennington saith, that there are debts owing by his
intestate, to which amount he cannot now state, and he has
not had time to ascertain the amount, it being only a few
months since this defendant qualified as the administrator,
Whether the mere perishable personal estate will be
sufficient to answer the demands against the intestate, and
the charges and expenses of the administration, this
defendant cannot now say. That this defendant humbly
conceives that in his present situation with respect to the
affairs of the intestate, it would be unsafe for him to
permit a division of all the slaves, without leaving in his
hands a proportion of them to answer demands which may
appear and which this defendant cannot probably ascertain in
a short time. That the small advancement received by this
defendant he is willing to bring into Hotchpot. These
defendants pray to be hence dismissed, &c .
