Has anyone done any research on the Barton Watts who came from St. Mary’s Co., MD to Washington Co.? He died sometime before 1828 in Washington Co. I believe he’s the same Barton Watts who married Susannah Goodson in 1798. I’d like to know who his children were. From what I can tell there were two Watts families in Washington Co. at about the same time, one came from England and the other from St. Mary’s. ======= Email scanned by PC Tools - No viruses or spyware found.

Lauren, Thank you so much. This looks like a lot of great information. It should keep me busy for a bit.

Bob, The "Estate document" that Lauren mentioned is an inventory listing for Barton and is very short. There was no Will listed. Henry also filed an administrator's account in 1830, again short and not very informative. All of these can be found on line at www.familysearch.org . I also checked Washington County land records and found nothing for Barton or Thomas. There are a few Watt(s) in the Washington Co. Cemetery Records, but none for Barton or Thomas.
