I'm piecing together the 5 people who would have been involved in the land that had previously belonged to Michael Watson. He actually bought the lots in 1838 -- so they were in Marion County at the time. Anybody researching Michael Watson or Robert C. Bailey family? I'm not sure when he died -- but probably around 1859. Look at the census below -- and it gives the children in the 1850 Marion Co census -- but since these mention 1/5 some of the children must not have lived. BAILEY, Robert C. married Sarah C.
