I found the Samuel Watson you refer to and realize that he is not my great grandfather. My Samuel was born in 1823 in S.C. according to the 1850 Lewis Co, TN Census. I have no idea what his father's name was. I have been searching for his parents and sibs for at least five years and every lead ends in a brick wall. I have just about given up. Dollie (Watson) Myers
