Hi List, Thanks John. There are a sizable collection of Watts wills in and around Speen that are held by the Wiltshire Family History Centre at Chippenham, Wilts. There is an on-line finding index and a few wills can be viewed directly on line. Hopefully they may help unscramble the many Watts in the area, as finding the definitive parents for William born ca 1794 has been a brick wall for several years.
