Kenneth, Try this website: http://www.se.mediaone.net/~baygents/ He has the Watts surname in his list of names. most of these names are from Waynesboro, MS. I was able to connect my father by looking at this website. And if you have any questions just write to Dana and he will answer your questions as best he can.
