My great[x5] grandfather was Thomas Watson [b. circa 1790, NC]. I believe he was related to the Johnston county Watsons. I suspect that he may have been a son of Obediah Watson who relocated to Sumter county, SC. Thomas Watson was listed in the 1820 census of Sumter county residing not far from Obediah Watson. Children of Thomas Watson were Sarah [b. 1817], Ira [b. 1819], William [b. 1821], and Ephraim [b. 1823].
