I am trying to locate more information on this John Watson 1880 Census, Monroe County, Beat No. 10, E.D. 154, 17 June 1880, Page 26, Line 22: Watson, Lewis, age 52, occupation Wheelington and Blacksmith, Born AL, Ftr. Born AL, Mtr Born NC; Martha, age 42, Housekeeping, Born AL, Ftr. Born GA, Mtr. Born GA; John, 22 County Convict, POB, AL; Ella, 16, POB-AL; Lewis, 14, POB-AL; James, 12, POB-AL; Sallie, 10, POB-AL and Leanna, 5, POB-AL. this census shows him as a convict..........any one know how I could find out more about this? I know he marries MAMIE ( MARION ) GREGG 1883 in Monroe Co Al. ...anyone have anything on this? Family says that he died abt 1925-26 and he never divorced mamie Gregg.. at some point in time he was " suppose" to : John Watson was living with a 13 year old girl named Minnie Lou Skipper and lived on the Escambia River when he died. Supposedly, he never divorced Mamie Gregg supposidly he and minnie skipper had 3 more children together.... ( I know folks ...please I cannot help what the ancstors did, just trying to find them )I am sure if someone saw a census or anything one would think she a child also( and maybe she was his child? ) cannot find a death time /place/certificate or anything for him...I know my family most likely disowned him and they never spoke of him....as far as my dad knew he was dead ( this was his grandfather ) if anyone can shed any light on this I would be real happy :) pat
