    1. [AMXROADS] Rev. John Jones Watts, b. 1839 Maine Moved to MO
    2. Hi Carolyn, I checked my FTM for JJ. Watts out of curiosity. He was born 1839 in Lincoln (now Knox) Co. Maine and married Mary Jane Woolsey Sept. 1872 in Missouri somewhere. She was the dau of William Woolsey and Matilda Hudgens. Wm is in my FTM because he first married one of my Martin's, Annie, dau of John and Rachel Martin in Pulaski Co.KY Wm's second wife was Nancy Turpin. Matilda Hudgens was his third. The Rev. JJ Watts Journal listed a lot of Missouri names as he traveled from county to county as a traveling minister, he recorded lots of events, and it is a great source of data on some families in those counties. I had ordered it a couple years ago on interlibrary loan thru U of L Library. I finally got it and made some copies. Then I had two bad health days and on the next day, I returned to make more copies but they had sent it back to Rolla. The library folks said they figured I was finished with the films when I missed two days. I was supposed to have it for two weeks. The man promised to get them back. When I called to see what was holding them up, the man said that U of M at Rolla said I'd had them and now they had been sent to the next person waiting for them. Lesson: When using interlibrary loan material...don't get sick. Or chain yourself to the microfilm. Does anyone know of any transcriptions done of the J.J. Watts Journal? Barb T
