I am researching a friend's family. My friend, Berniece Watts Harris told me she knew nothing of her family. Her grandfather, Perry Watts was an orphan and she didn't know who the parents were or who raised him or anything. She knew her mom's surname and her dad, Jewell Watts and also that her grandmother was called "Aunt Pense".....that is all the information she gave me to go on except Searcy County AR, Snowball and St. Joe area. This lady is probably 70 and is my landlady and a real sweetheart. I had been researching some Watts who I am related to and decided to try to delve a little deeper and PROVE I could find SOMETHING. Well, I had hit the proverbial stone wall until I read this today. Perry David Watts married Pensie Wyatt, daughter of Perry Lunsford Wyatt (whom he lived with). I find them married and living next door to the Wyatt's in the 1900 Searcy County census. They are living with the James Cash family. James Cash was the brother of Perry Wyatt's wife, Kitty Cash. Perry David Watts and Pensie Wyatt had Jewell Watts and according to the internet they had a son Charles who died in 1936 in Texas, but I have to check that out. According to the 1900 census Perry and Pensie had been married one year, had l child but it had died. Perry was 26 in the 1900 census and Pensie was 18. Jewell Watts, their son, married Rannie Woodard, daughter of George Woodard and Mary Smith. She was born in 1908. Rannie Watts and Mary Smith Woodard are buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in Harrison, Arkansas. Jewell and Rannie only had one child, Berniece. I don't know when she was born but I am going to ask. I am THRILLED to have this information and would love to be in contact with you and exchange information. Thanks, Ginny O'Neal goneal@pcis.net
