    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Wendel_Melrose Surnames: Melrose, Watson, Bowling Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.colorado.counties.fremont/1093/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am researching these families since they link to my greatgrandmother, Sarah (Sallie) Elizabeth Watson, who married Hugh Hudson Melrose at Frazerville, Colorado, in 1866 and had perhaps 4 children. My grandfather, Joseph M Melrose was born at Wetmore on April 11, 1874. Sarah divorce Hugh and married Hamilton R. Bowling in 1879 at Rosita. They moved on to Pagosa Springs, Colorado by 1882. James and Joseph came later to live with them. Hugh died at Rosita in 1913 and is buried in the Rosita cemetery. I have copies of a photo album that includes twin children, Leon and Lester Watson and several unnamed people that may be Watsons. William A. Watson and wife, Mary Crouch, lived in Rosita in 1880. A son, Willis , lived in Canon City in 1920 & 1930. He was in the tax accessors office. William appears to be a brother to Sarah. Thank you all for any answers to this puzzle. Wendell H.
