Bob, I was told that my ggrandfather Leander Lock Duvall lived with the Watson family in Paris,Edgar Co. He was listed in the 1850 census. Leanders mother was Mary Welton, married to DAWelton but I don't think her lived with them. Leander must have moved to Straton because he enlisted in the Civil War from there in 1862 and must have moved back after the discharge in 1865. I really appreciate your input and wondered if the Watson family was a relative. Thanks so much for your help. Helen Roach
