April 1685, Elizabeth Watkins, daughter of Henry Watkins, then age sixteen years, was ordered by the Henrico Co Court to swear to a deposition. As a Quaker, she willingly made affirmation but would not make oath. She was ordered imprisoned. In June she was again brought to the bar and "persisting in the same obstancy as she pretends out of conscience sake and therefore desiring to be excused and her father also humbly seconding her request the court have out of their clemency in consideration of her young years, remitted her offence and releast her of her confinement."

Probably the Elizabeth married John Bottom/Bottomly
