Park Rd. and Palestine Rd./ William Watkins Rd Does anyone know the history of William Watkins Road? In 1816, my ggg-grandfather Robert Watkins administered the estate of James Watkins in Sumner County. In the process of settling the estate, Robert and his brothers and sisters sold James Watkins' Sumner County property. One of those brothers was Benjamin Watkins of Overton County. Any connection to the William of William Watkins Road? Joyce
