About 1633, he [Christopher Richardson] married the daughter of Richard Wilkinson, Dorothy Wilkinson, as his second wife.[4] The marriage is proven by a 1646 patent by Richard Wilkinson for 236 acres in Isle of Wight Co. "opposite Pagan Point, NW upon a swamp dividing same from land of Mr. John Moone. 100 acres being granted unto Doroty Woodward, the Daughter Woodward, by order of Court at James City, 29th August 1633, and purchased by said Wilkinson of Richard Death."

Not only does this establish the marriage by 1633, it also establishes that Richard Wilkinson, father-in-law of Christopher Woodward, held land near other lands held by another immigrant, Thomas Woodward of Isle of Wight. [citation needed]

References to Pagan Creek and John Moone appeared on records for lands held by him as well. A Thomas Jones owned land adjoining one of Thomas Woodward's patents. (See patents p. ?) There is no solid proof, but it appears very likely that these two immigrants were brothers. Christopher was the elder of the two. [citation needed]

Research Notes
