Christian (Martin) Hawkins - Was she the wife of Evan Williams 1st?

Tagging profiles

Christian Waddington

Evan Williams

Mary Elkins

We know from her marriage record that Mary was the daughter of Evan & Christian Williams. The question is: who was Christian?

She was not the Christian who married John Martin & Francis Waddington.

It is suggested rather that she was the daughter of Christian & John Martin

Tagging Frances Lampton

She was the niece (sister’s daughter) of “Francis Waddington’s wife, formerly the wife of John Martin.” Presumably her father was a Golber (or similar).

https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I0320... shows her as daughter of John Martin & Joanna, wife of Francis Waddington. But that does not seem to be a correct identification, because this Joanna was the wife of James Monk before she married Francis Waddington (probably the 2nd one, because Christian was the widow of the 1st).

Christian Martin Williams was the daughter of Christian inknown, wife of 1) John Martin and 2) Francis Waddington. She had at least four documented children, John Jr., Anne, and Christian Martin and Francis Waddington Jr. she may have had a son mpnamed Francis Martin or he may be a later generatiion. Frances Golber White Lampton was her niece, but we have not been able to identify Frances’ parents or the parents of Christian the mother.

Christian Hawkins will was filed in Stafford County, VA in 1722. The will book itself is missing but the index remains.

People get very confused because there were two women named Christian Martin, a mother and daughter, and two men named Francis Waddington, a father and son.
Francis Waddington Sr married widowed Christian Unknown Martin, they were the parents of Francis Waddington Jr who married widowed Joanna Monk.

Francis Waddington Sr born c. 1620 died c. 1702

So that looks like the way I’m interpreting the tree is supported by the evidence.

There was a separate Francis Martin

And check it out - associated with the Waugh and Lampton families.

Mary Fugate Is also of King George County but I don’t know enough about her to say she’s placed correctly.

I set up Frances Lampton as the first Christian’s niece so we can more easily see these affiliated families.

I don’t see any confluence with Pettus.

Yes, clearly Francis Martin is connected to this family group. He may well have been
another son of John and Christian Martin (Frances Golber etc. gave him land along with John Martin strongly suggesting they were brothers).

Yes, pretty sure Mary Fugate is connected to John Martin Jr. Not sure about the generation.

A woman named Dorothy PETTIT married a man named James Fugate in 1675. Her name is spelled several ways, so unclear what it actually was. She appears as Pettitt and Pettis in the same document!

Bill Deyo places Mary (Williams) Elkin as the daughter of Evan Williams & the 2nd Christian (who married Rev Waugh next).

So I believe it’s good to go ahead and move Mary to the correct parents.

Mary Elkins

Yes, that is correct. Mary Williams was the first wife of Richard Elkin(s) and the mother of James Elkin(s).
