WATSON is listed in the 1820 and 1830 Madison Co. census. I was wondering if any of you had the 1810 and 1840, and if so, would you please check and see if he was listed on those census. Joab WATSON is also on the 1830 Madison Co. census living next door to James R. Joab is on the 1840 Bond Co. census. Joab married Elizabeth ROBINSON 5/27/1828 in Bond Co. IL. Is anyone researching these Watsons?

We have Boyd's, Perry's, one billingsley, some Turners, and possibly a few others. Many are from KY, TN, and IL and came through to MO. Maybe we can make a link. Do you know if your family history includes rumored Cherokee heritage? Thanks for your time. Victoria Hunt
