Let me tell you up front, I don't have any information for your posting just a weird coincidence. I have a similar posting on other boards looking for my William (NMI) Watkins, b 1821. He is my GGGGrandfather. He just shows up in Missouri in aroung 1840 with no trail as to where he can from. I've tried for years to find a link to his past, parents, siblings, etc, with nothing. For a while I was working the possibility he came via Kentucky, but I could never come up with anything concrete. Good luck from a distant cousin. Mark
