Gladys was the Daughter of Lee A. Chapman and Joseph appears to be the son of Joseph R.Watts. All are of Burke Cty., NC. Clarence Watts married Mary Jane Samules on Dec. 21, 1946 in California. They had one son, Allen Joseph Watts born 8 Apr 1953 in Los Angeles, CA. Clarence Watts died 21 Dec 1946 in L.A. and is buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery. Mary Jane Watts died 11 Jan 2008 in Louisville, KY and in buried next to Clarence in CA. Allen Watts is my son in law married to my step daughter Carol Manuel. Allen has no brothers or sisters and knows no one on his father's side of the family. I believe I have traced both the Watts and Chapman families back several generations but would like verification if posible from a living relative of Allen's. I believe he should know his Watts and Chapman relatives. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
