I'm researching David Watson, nephew of Joseph Watson who was an ensign in the navy at Boston. In an obituary for David Watson, it is mentioned that Joseph Watson "is the author of the national hymn, "Our Flag is Still There" which is regarded by may as second only to "My Country 'Tis of Thee". " In addition, the obituary mentions J_____(Probably Joseph) Watson, a cousin, late of New Orleans, the author of some of the finest late war literature among which is "Wounded" as well as the familiar poem "Beautiful Snow". David Watson, birthplace is Freeport (now Fayette City), Fayette County, Pennsylvania about 1810-1812. His family returned to Scotland when he was 3 months old, but returned before 1833 to Boston, Massachusetts. His family was involved in a type foundry in from the time they arrived back in Boston (about 1830s to at least 1889). It may have been called David Watson & Sons Type Foundry or the Boston Type Foundry. David has quit an interesting history throughout Ohio, Indiana and Minnesota according to his obituary. He died in Redwood Falls, Redwood County, Minnesota in 1889. Does any of this sound familiar? Thank you. Lynne Bennett bhwb@aol.com
