The first Samuell Judkins of Surry County records may have been the immigrant of the family.  His land was acquired from Thomas Barlowe in the grant below:

 I Tho. Barlow doe assigne this pattent unto Samuell Judkin wth. ye sd. Land in itt Expressed & doe bind myself and my heirs execrs. Admrs. that ye. sd. Judkin shall quietly Injoy ye sd. Land withoute any trouble or Molestation & doe warrant ye. same Land unto ye. sd. Judkin and his heirs or assigns forever & doe alsoe Ingage that my wife shall Acknowledge ye. sd. Judkin in open Courte of Surry as witness my hand this 7th day of March 1667.
 
       Samuell Judkins wrote his will three years later. It mentioned legacies to his three sons, Samuell, Robert and Charles.  It named his wife as Lidia.  She was the daughter of William Gray and his wife Mary______, immigrants from London.  The witnesses were Geralde Gronswolt and John Honeycutt.  The will was signed 13 February, 1671(2) and probated 7 May, 1672.  His widow married Thomas Pittman.

       The sons Samuell and Robert are named in a 1676 list of Pardoned Rebells in the Late Disloyal Rebellious Collony.  They married Pettway sisters, Elizabeth and Ann.

        The second Samuel Judkins and his wife Elizabeth Pettway were the parents of Lidia Judkins who married Thomas Weathers . [The research of Jim Moore introduced us to our Judkins family.]
