    ELIZABETH WOODSON VENABLE, b. at "Springfield," Prince Edward Co., Va., May 11, 1782; d. Apr. 7, 1858 at "Do Well," Charlotte Co., Va.; mar. Dec. 5, 1799, at "Springfield," Prince Edward Co., Va., Capt. Wm. M. Watkins, b. Apr. 22, 1773; d. Feb. 5, 1865 of "Do Well," Charlotte Co., Va.

    Capt. Watkins studied at Hampden-Sidney College, 1789-1791; A.B. Princeton, 1792, studied law under Judge Creed Taylor of "Needham," Cumberland Co., Va. He was a representative from Charlotte County in the Virginia House of Delegates, 1812-1815, and in 1830; trustee of Hampden-Sidney College for more than thirty years. "Do Well," his home was, and is yet, one of the handsomest estates in Charlotte County. It has been more fortunate than most of the old plantations in that it has fallen into the hands of capable and wealthy successors of taste and education.
