*HI ALL: Several of us on the WATKINSREV@onelist.com list desc. from the WATKINS BROTHERS, LEVIN, MITCHELL & PETER, who were born and res. DUPLIN&EDGEC.Co.NC in 1700s. My line of MITCHELL WATKINS, SR. b. ca 1745 (m/ ELIZABETH HILL) went to WASHINGTON CO. GA by 1797. His son RICHARD WATKINS m. CELIA WYNN, and their son , FRANCIS M. WATKINS m. ELIZABETH KINGERY...they res. WILKINSON CO. GA. We are still trying to figure out who is the FATHER the 3 brothers, MITCHELL, LEVIN & PETER, and here are some names I got from the AIS #1 a few yrs ago.... (Accelerated Indexing System) (at the LDS FHC). Thought these names might be of use to someone else.... *TINA/CA* tina@tcsn.net *W A T K I N S* NAME COUNTY YEAR STEVEN Duplin 1800 STEPHEN Edgec. 1790 PETER Dup 1800 MITCHELL Edgec. 1810 LEVAN Dup 1810 LEVEN " 1806 LEVEN " 1783 JOSIAH Edgec. 1790 JOHN Dup 1810 " Edgec. 1790 " Dup 1806 JESSEE " 1806 ABIJAH Edgec. 1810 DANIEL " 1790 DICY " 1800 HENRY " 1790 JAMES Dup 1806 " " 1810 " " 1800 *** REECE Oglethorpe 1800 " , Jr. " " ****** JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT, I wrote down: WATKENS, ANSON CO., NC WILLIAM 1763 Tx List CHRISTOPHER 1810 JAMES 1810 ******* "MURDY" surname (will explain why later...could be related....) ALIXANDER Iredell 1800 JOHN Phil.Co.PA 1810 PETER F. " 1800 ***** NOTE: Reason for posting the OGLETHORPE CO. 'REECE WATKINS' is because I was told yrs ago by a well meaning researcher, that my Watkins line (from MITCHELL WATKINS, SR., husband of ELIZABETH HILL), was related to the OGLETHORPE CO. WATKINS', who desc. from CHARLEMAGNE. I never found that connection .... I know tha Watkins line of Oglethorpe Co.GA was in Chester Co.PA in late 1600s/early 1700s I believe....Believe they had a ROBERT, REECE, 'LABAN', forget the others, but have the info somewhere, poss. with wives' names. I never found any matching up with our 3 WATKINS BROTHERS! Believe these Oglethorpe Co. Watkins were desc. from CADWALLADER WATKINS who res. in Chester Co. PA.... Anyone know anything about this POSSIBLE connection???? *** END **** *TINA/CA* tina@tcsn.net
