I've heard that this name "Baylis" is supposedly someway connected to a judge named Baylis Earl who was popular in Georgia. That there was a period of time that this name was popular in naming boys after this judge. I don't know. If you know anything else about Watson, that may match up with having a son born in 1840 named Baylis, let me know. Baylis's parents have been a mystery for sometime. Thanks, Michelle
