Hi Pam: I have been trying to reach you for some time and your email have returned to me. I will attach the returned email to the bottom of this one. My grandparents are Artimisia Patterson Hurst (daughter of Louisa Jane Watts & Thomas A. Patterson) and James Layafette Hurst (son of Hezekiah Edwin Carr Hurst & Sara Ann Freeman). I have a few Watts family photographs you may find interesting. Your research, I am sure is much more detailed than mine. I did start back in the 1970's when my cousin Eva Hurst Gillespie (daughter of Mandy Patterson & John F. Hurst) got me hooked. I retired a few years back and have been working on this project in earnest. I would be very interested in your research. Recently, I have been contacted by several Watt's researchers via message boards on ancestry.com. One Watts researcher referred me to this link http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=cwdill&id=I1689 He believes "our" Jacob Watts is the Jacob Watts on this page - see marriage number 2. I would be interested in what you think.

They have told me what they could remember regarding Artie Ruth Patterson & Lonzo Gamorse Sewell. Joyce gave me the names of their children Lilly Gay and Audrey Fay, but I need a bit more information if you have it. Also, I have in my FTM Gladys Swell that married Roy Lenord Casey. Again I have the names of their children not much else. Also, I am connected to the Shirey's though my Daddy's first cousin Millie Rebecca Watts wife of Marion Shirey.
