Sr. Henry Watkins:
The first record that I have found of Henry WATKINS is the following 1809 deed of 100 acres of land to him in then Pendleton District, SC, later Pickens, now Oconee Co. While he was described in this deed as "of Pendleton District, " I have not located his name in the 1810 census of South Carolina or North Carolina. His age in 1810 would have been at least 30, and he had one son, Hesket Watkins, who was born in North Carolina about 1805. Other known children were born in South Carolina. It might be possible that he was in Georgia in 1810, but no census survives for Georgia for that year.
1809 Jul 19 -- Christian Sloan of Pendleton District, SC, sold 100 acres to Henry WATKINS of Pendleton District for $100.00, plantation or tract of land where he now lives, at John Cobb's line in the head of a branch near Tallant's old field, thence to a Ridge Path till it crosses said Cobb's line
