That may or may not be true, but BEFORE Lycoming County was formed, Williamsport was in Northumberland County. So, although I have not checked this out, and don't know for sure, I would assume that both Wmspt. & Watsontown used to be in Northumberland, but when Lycoming was formed, Wmspt. became the County Seat of Lycoming County, and poor little Watsontown stayed behind. Although it's possible this particular Watsontown could have at one time been in Lyco. Co., it could never have been a part of Williamsport. The Watson(town) you are speaking of may be an old, lost, name of some area outlying Williamsport. Which brings us back to your original question -- I guess no one has provided an answer yet.

Susan, Now I'm confused. Are you talking about Watsontown being part of Lycoming County in 1900 or Williamsport? The reason I ask is because Williamsport I believe is currently the county seat of Lycoming County.

You are both right - Williamsport was part of Lycoming County in 1900. Later a reorg made it part of Northumberland County. -----Original Message----- From: M Langdon [mailto:langdon@delanet.com] Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 3:56 PM To: PALYCOMI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Williamsport - Watson(town) Apparently there was a section of WIlliamsport referred to as Watson or Watsontown in the early 1900's.

Apparently there was a section of WIlliamsport referred to as Watson or Watsontown in the early 1900's. A marriage application of 1917 gave a Watsontown as a place of residence for the bride. Checking the 1910 census her family lived in Williamsport. I have found no evidence of this family living anywhere but Lycoming Co. Margaret

The only Watsontown I know of is in Northumberland County.

What part of Williamsport was/is Watson(town)? Margaret

Hello: I am looking for any information on a GEORGE HAUKE (Houck) that was born in Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania on 24 September 1818. I have his birth date but I do not have the names of his parents or from where his parents came. He married Martha Polhemus in 1844 in Lycoming County. I have the information on Martha Polhemus. I would also like to know the information on his children and when he moved to Clinton, Iowa, where he died 18 Aug 1898. Hope someone can help me.

By any chance, do you know the address of the group who studies British genealogy? I believe it begins with ENG-WESTMORLAND. I went on vacation a few weeks ago and unsubscribed as I didn't want to have zillions of messages when I returned. Now I am attempting to subscribe again, and evidently have the wrong address as it keeps coming back to me telling me there is no such address (ENG-WESTMORLAND-L-request@ rootsweb.com). Thanks.

I am in contact with the Jersey Shore Historical Society and should know how to contact the DAR in Jersey Shore as soon as the JSHS can contact the known members of DAR. Thank You for your patience.
