Watson is at its geographical center, and is where a J.P. probably lived. You might scan the 1880 U.S.Census microfilm for Desha County, Watson area, for information about J. H. Jones and his family. You can view the microfilm at any Latter Day Saints' Family History Center, but they may have to order it for you. Louis Reitzammer at Jackson, Tennessee, Coordinator for Desha County ARGenWeb site
