Notes for Obadiah WOODSON |
Constant (not Constance, as many chroniclers assert) was named in her father's will in 1743 as "Constant Woodson". She had married Obadiah Woodson, a son of Richard and Anne Smith Woodson of Henrico County. A child, Obadiah, was born circa 1735. In March 1740/41, Obadiah, joined by his wife "Constant Woodson" sold some land in Goochland County.
Obadiah Woodson was a land dealer, acquiring great tracts of unsettled land. In September 1766, he made his will in Prince Edward County, leaving to "Constant my dearly beloved wife this plantation whereon I now live" and he appointed her to be executrix. In July 1773, "Constant Woodson" made her will there. It was probated the following November. |
