Re: WATSON; MLN,SCT; 1700 Nancy, I'm researching the name WATSON, but I can't get any further back than the mid-1700s in DEPTFORD, England. I have hunches that my Watsons originally came from Scotland, but I have no idea where. Do you know of any connections to Deptford? Is it your understanding that Watson is originally a Scottish name? I've been told on mailing lists that WATSON is a very common name. Is that your understanding as well?
