Thanks so much Darla: When you have time (and I seriously mean don't push yourself!!!) I'd love whatever is listed -- you see, my grandfather was the son of two Watson parents -- in turn, his mother Sinia (Sina) was the daughter of two Watson parents -- The families moved back and forth between Crawford and Venango (Oilcreek Twp.) Counties -- by my figuring, I'm probably related to just about every Watson in those areas!!!!! Now I just have to straighten out who belongs to who!!!! Thank you so much for your time and trouble. If I can ever be of help (I live in Erie) please don't hesitate to ask.
