This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BUTLER, WATSON, PRICE, ROBERTSON, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2hB.2ACI/124.1 Message Board Post: I have the McMinn Co. abstracts of Death Certificates as done by Wiefering for the Cleveland Public Library project.Doing a little math, William was born ca 1836, if his age was accurate. It would appear that it is not, if this is the same William listed as age 8 in the 1860 Census. The way this is listed, with Rachel BUTLER listed as mother of William, PRICE, I wonder if this might indicate a possible second marriage for BOTH Isaac and Rachel? Using the 1860 Census, William was born before the marriage of Isaac and Rachel, so are we looking for a family other than WATSON for Rachel? A John WATSON m. a Rachel ROBERTSON, 1 Dec 1850 in Carter Co. and is the only Rachel to WATSON marriage among extant E. TN records, as transcribed by Sistler. Its a long shot, but might be a possible path. Another point of interest - Isaac, 18, is listed in the home of Allen and Rachel BUTLER in the 1850 Census. Interesting that the William who died in 1919, age 73 - if that is correct, c! ould possibly be the son of this couple. He would have been about 14 in 1850, and possibly living with other family members as a farm hand or apprentice. Isaac m. Martha PRICE, 1854. Have you found HER in her parents home prior to the marriage? This still gives the probability of parentage of both Betsey Ann and William questionable, since Betsey was 11 in 1860, thus b. ca 1849, and William, age 8, b. ca 1852. Isaac would have had to be about 16 or so to have been parent of Betsey. It also puts doubt on that 1850 marriage of Rachel ROBERTSON to a Watson previously cited. Hope I haven't "muddied" the water even more.
