- "...Elizabeth also held to his loyalty to his faith. At the age of 16 in April 1685, she refused 'for conscience sake' to swear to a deposition she had made. Torrence, William Clayton, "Henrico County, Virginia: Beginnings of Its Families," Part IV, "Watkins Family," 25W(1), pg.55.
The Henrico County Court ordered her imprisonment. In June she was again brought to the bar and 'still persisting in ye same obstinancy as she pretends out of conscience sale 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 [sic] her of her confinement.'
