He is buried in Union Townshhip in Mahaska County, Iowa. I can't read the cemetery he is buried in, it starts with a U, but doesn't look like union. There are several other Watsons buried at the same cemetery. Ellen M b Apr. 20, 1843 d Sept 14, 1853. Laura May b May 30, 1856 d Sept. 27, 1862. Mary A. b Sept 11, 1829 d Mar. 04 1863. Mary J. b Mar 5, 1816 d Mar 5, 1870. Rachel b Oct 10, 1795 d Feb 11, 1872. Hope this helps.
