re: I am looking for any information on  the Watson Family. Abel Watson b 1812 m Phoebe Hays d 1895. children were William T Watson, Carrie Watson And John Franklin Watson The WATSON I have information about wasn't son of PHOEBE HAYS, but was son of an ABEL WATSON. Briefly, my information on a WILLIAM T. WATSON is that he was a physician, who was b 27 JAN 1852 in SC, to parents Abel and Nancy Taylor Watson. His parents moved to TN in 1854. He first practiced medicine in Lone Elm (now Chesterfield), Henderson Co. TN. He married Virginia "Jennie" SMITH on 02 DEC 1879. "Jennie" b 26 APR 1859 HeCoTn was the daughter of John SMITH and Emeline E. FULLER Smith of Henderson Co. TN. William T. Watson d 20 JAN 1934 in HeCoTn; his wife Virginia "Jennie" SMITH Watson d 31 JUL 1945 in HeCoTn; along with the parents of Jennie were all buried in the Lexington City Cemetery, Lexington, Henderson Co. TN. According to obituary of Dr. William T. Watson in the "Lexington Progress", 5 children were born to he and Jennie: (unknown if this is by birth order) - Dr. Fred C. WATSON - Myrtle WATSON Parker (Mrs. Will Parker) - Gussie WATSON Lassiter (Mrs. Howard Lassiter0 - W. Van WATSON - Alba WATSON Essary (Mrs. E. W. Essary) other survivors of Dr. W.T. Watson: - brother Frank Watson - sister Mrs. Sis Churchill of Decatur Co. TN I research family of Dr. Watson's wife, Jennie". I know a lot about her line, her family has been traced back to Isle of Wight, VA, before 1700's. It seems to me I recall finding some information about father of this DR. W.T WATSON on the website of www.rootsweb.com, click family trees, then advanced search and enter his name. You might check there. Linda
