My family came from Black Fork in Scott County,Arkansas. My father was William Franklin Watson and my mother was Arizona Howze. They were married in Polk County March 1906. They raised 14 children to adulthood, the first 8 were born in Scott County. They then moved to LeFlore County, Oklahoma where the other 6 were born, only 3 of us are still living, I am the oldest one age 92. My family was on the 1910 and 1920 Scott County census. There was other Watsons in Scott County at the time but not related. I have searched your page on the computer and recognize many names that appear. Loyd E. Watson Sent from my iPad
