One of the 3 lines I have from Ozark Co is the family of Benjamin Franklin Watts, Sr born 1823 TN. He moved to Ozark Co in the 1870's. By his first wife Nancy E. Robinson he had Mary Ellen Watts b 1851 married Swanee Baxter and Benjamin F. Watts Jr b 1856 married Flora Ann Thompson. By his second wife Elizabeth Rhoda Miller he had Cora Etta b 1861 married Albert D. Thomason/Thompson, Sarah Henry b 1865 married James T. White, Mary Susan b 1868 married a Vinson, Robert E. Lee b 1873 married Serenia E. Shrum 1896 (my grandparents) and Thomas Jefferson b 1884 married Abigail DeBoard. I have very little information on this family but believe all children were married in Ozark Co. I haven't been able to find a death date or place for Benjamin and Elizabeth and the family says they died in Ozark Co. They are listed on the 1880 census Bridges Township. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has knowledge of these people. Thanks for any help!
