A John WATTS paid one white poll tax in Roane Co, TN's 11th District in 1840. Could that be him? Some of the surnames in that district appear in the same district he's in in 1850 - SHORT, HOLLAND, etc. I know it's not a census record, but I hope it helps. ~Dawnelle http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~harrimantn http://TnType.com --- Joy Locke <jlocke@usit.net> wrote: > There's a Richard Watt and a John Waugh in 1840 > Monroe Co. but no John > Watts.
