• The Edward Pleasants Valentine Papers Vols I-IV, 1864-1908 • Vol1. Bacon family; Page: 1909; Quote: Goochland County Records: Jonathan Knight & Judith his wife, Granville Co. North Carolina, Archer Pledge & Anna his wife, Goochland Co., John Redford & Unita his wife, Henrico Co., Pleasant Turner & Agatha his wife Halifax Co. and Perrin Redford & Susannah his wife, Goochland Co. and Thomas Woodson & Mary his wife, of the county of Goochland, (the above are daughters of Joseph Woodson son & heir of Joseph Woodson, of Genito, 325 a. of land on the Creek and branches of Beaver Dam Creek in Goochland Co. This deed is made to correct an error in Joseph Woodson's will. He intended to give his son Joseph the 325 a. land mentioned above. Dat. Oct. 25, 1790. Vol. 16, p. 79.
• The Edward Pleasants Valentine Papers Vols I-IV, 1864-1908 • Vol1. Bacon family; Page: 1915; Quote: Goochland County Records: Judith Knight widow & relict of Jonathan Knight, decd., of the county of Granville in the state of North Carolina to Joseph Woodson of Goochland Co. whereas Joseph Woodson the elder, late of Jenito Creek in the county of Goochland by his last will and testament dated the 7th day of October 1783 after other gifts & legacies by him devised did bequeath unto his daughters then living all the residue & remainder of his estate not before given away, among which was including all his real estate consisting of 325 a. of land on the Jenito Creek & branches of Beaver Dam in the sd. county, but notwithstanding the aforesaid residuary gift, be it known that I, Judith Knight being one of the daughters of the sd. Joseph Woodson the elder, and being sensible that my deceased father did always intend his real estate should after his death descend to his son Joseph Woodson all which appears manifest to me by his bequeathing to him a very small portion of his other estate and that the will is defective in that respect through default in the writer and not from any intention in him, doth grant unto the sd. Joseph Woodson, son & heir of Joseph Woodson, decd. 325 a. of land, more or less, in the county of Goochland. Dat. Oct. 8, 1812. Vol. 21, p. 361.
