Although at the time I was doing the research, it felt like I became a part of the family! LOL I never determined who Jonathan Watson's father was. His answers in the 1850 census show that he was born in SC about 1828. I never found him in the 1860 census, even after going page by page in the Harris County GA records. Did you find him? My research theory was that he migrated from South Carolina to Harris County GA with the Grant family about 1835-1836. James Grant was the father of Jane Grant, wife of Jonathan Watson. James had a son named Pois Grant. The 1850 Harris Co. GA census record for Pois Grant shows his children were born in SC until about 1835-36, the rest born in GA...this is where I got those dates. This is the general time the Grants showed up in Harris Co. GA. In what 1830 census are you finding John Watson next door to Grants? This lineage research has gotten cold for me, so I need to get out my files and do some reading to refresh my memory.
