• Notes

  The History of Woodstock [Connecticut] states that Andrew Watkins had 20 acres granted him there on 3 Sep 1686 on the westward hill; and in 1710, Jonathan Bugbee held the rights of Andrew Watkins (Vol. 1, pp. 23, 25, 30, 58). No evidence has been found that Andrew took his family to New Roxbury [Woodstock] with him, nor that they at any time joined him there. As evidenced by the following quotation from the History of Needham, Massachusetts, by George Kuhn Clarke [ ] (1912?), it is evident that Andrew Watkins was dead before 9 March 1710/11: "On March 9, 1710/11, Edward Cook deeded to Andrew Watkins, 'Husbandman', son of his wife, Elizabeth Cook, by an earlier marriage, all of his land in Needham, including his home. The land consisted of ten acres at Maugus Hill, and six acres in the Natick Divident, 'my Common Right' as a Proprietor of Dedham. See grant to Edward Cook in 1696. In 1720 Andrew Watkins, 'Yeoman', and Mary , his wife, sold the ten acres, and also four acres 'near to the Damm in Rosemary Meadow', for 40 pounds, to Josiah Kingsbury and Hezekiah Broad, reserving the life rights of 'Our Loving Mother Elizabeth Cooke the Relict Widow of Edward Cook.' Mr. Watkins removed from Needham." From:Bickford's Watkins a Beginning Genealogy, vol. 1, p. 230.
