Thanks, Gladys, Would love to hear more from you on the Watts family. I think that Myrtis Craft and I talked about this family recently, and I am forwarding this message to her.

In speaking of Newton County, my g-g-grandmother Martha Anderson Crutchfield married 2nd 1854 John Evans Watts b. 1805; d. 1875 Newton Co. He was a minister, Lawyer, State Rep., Judge, physician and had an earlier marriage to Elizabeth Ann [Betsy] Chapman who died sometime before the marriage of my grandmother. My g-g-grandmother was also a widow, previously married to Aloysius Michael Keegan d. 1838 Lawrence Co. He was also a Judge, represenative, Senator, Lawyer in the surrounding Counties. Do any of you connect to this family or know anything about them? In the 1860 census of Jasper County, there is no child, but in 1870 of the same County John and Martha Watts have listed a daughter Elizabeth M. age 15. I don't know if that was their daughter or not and don't know the date of death of Betsy Chapman. Thanks, Gladys

Sue, Allen Harrison of Gautier, Mississippi, has written a book on a Johnson family from Newton County, but I think it is different from the one you are researching. I will take a look at the census and see if I come up with anything.

Sue: Perhaps we are dealing with two different HARRODS here. While I sometimes ignore postings to the lists that are scattered about for anyone to read, I always try to answer any inquiry addressed to me. I think my only activity in Newton County, MS, involved a HENRY Family. Let me know if you know something to the contrary. Good luck. Harold Fisher Yazoo City, Mississippi [email protected]

In regard to those WFT CD's, it is important that everyone realize that the Trees were furnished by individuals who may have erroneous information, so you must VALIDATE every entry...I know of more than one case, where a researcher picked up an incorrect ancestor link with the same name and hence, they have a totally different lineage than the correct one...their haste to be the first to make their Tree available caused them to jump before they were ready... With the speed of the Internet, once the error is out there, it is virtually impossible to stop the errors from procreating themselves...So, be sure you VALIDATE YOUR DATA... >From: Adrian & Briana Etie <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [MISSISSIPPI] World Family Tree Volume #s, Tree #s >Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2004 21:03:55 -0800 (PST) > >There is a man on ebay that sells many volumes of Family Tree Maker's WFTs >.

Harold, you wouldn't happen to research any Johnson families in Newton Co., would you? I am trying to find a brother of my great grandfather by the name of Benjamin Johnson. He was born about 1834/35 in Alabama and was on the 1850 Pontotoc Co. census with his parents and siblings. I believe he is the brother who left Pontotoc Co. with my great grandfather, Joseph Abner Johnson (Joab Johnson) in 1858/59 and went South to Neshoba Co.; however, I believe Benjamin did not remain in Neshoba Co., but may have gone on to Newton Co. It's just a guess, but I would really love to find him. The other siblings remained in Pontotoc Co./Lee Co. The parents of these two brothers were Randolph Johnson (born about 1800 in TN) and Elizabeth Ashby (born about 1800 in NC). Thanks for your response.

Sandra, I have a Vicey Loper, birth date listed 1806, listed in my Weir line via the Davis connection. She married a Hamilton Davis in South Carolina. This was not my research but another distant kin researching the Davis line. These Davis married into my Weirs in Newton Co., MS. My aunt's husband has Lopers on his line in Newton County. Butch

There is a man on ebay that sells many volumes of Family Tree Maker's WFTs . His username is rggant I bought a marriage index CD that I have used to do look ups for people on this list and others. The CD had one or two of my relative's marriages, but I think its worth exeeded when I was able to do look ups for others. If I wanted I could resale it on ebay for about the same price. I looked to see if he had the volume you are looking for on sale now, but no such luck. Perhaps email the seller and ask him about the paticular volume. Do a search on Ebay for World Family Tree and the volume #s will pop up. I am a firm believer in that you can find anything on ebay! Somtimes old family bibles are sold on ebay. One day just put in the family name you are researchin and see what you can find. Always something interesting. Good Luck to you and Happy New Year to you, Karen.
