  Notes	Concerning the Woodson name: " According to a number of reports, Chesley's wife's name was Judith Woodson Christian. I have seen, but have not verified that she was the daughter of Charles Christian and Judith Woodson. I don't know if that is accurate, but a Lunenburg Co, VA deed dated February 5, 1764, refers to "Chesley Daniel and Judith Woodson, his wife" (they are selling 1069 acres originally granted to Chesley's father, James). Judith clearly has a Woodson connection, and you just plain don't need for Chesley to have a separate connection of his own in order for them to have a son named Woodson." Reference: Judge W. B. Newman; "CAPTAIN WILLIAM DANIEL, of MIDDLESEX, some of his descendants and other Daniels of Virginia," and "GENEALOGIES OF VIRGINIA FAMILIES" from Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Vol.1. Many entries such as dates of birth, baptisms, and marriage dates have been verified in the Parish Register of Christ Church, Middlesex County, Virginia, 1650-1812. We are also the beneficiaries of a compilation of the work of Brunk Heinemann by Sheryl Neal Slaughter that may be found in the Daniel-L on line archives. Source:http://www.paynedaniel.com/captainwm/
