    1. [TXCOLL-N] Watson families
    2. Walter Godwin
    3. If you have ever looked at the 1880, 1900, and 1910 census records for Collin co TX you have noticed what appears to be many different Watson families.  I am trying to help friends sort out their lineage and we need help?   We know that James E Watson with a wife Stena / Steena Peterson is on the 1900 census in Precinct 6 with their young family before moving to OK Kiowa co by 1910.  James also went by "J.E." part of the time.  My friends are decendents of James E and his second wife May Evans Steinberg Watson.   James consistently gives 1871-1872 in GA as his birth information.  There are only two other households on the 1900 with GA birth places.  They are Andrew Watson b Apr 1847 GA and wife Missouri C. b GA with children b in TX.  Missouri has given birth to many more children than are represented by the 3 at home.  William G. Watson b Oct 1872 with wife Ammie and 2 young children are also listed in Precinct 1.   The entry on the 1880 Collin co census for Jack Watson is the age of 33 or ca 1847 GA with a wife Missouri b GA. the same as the wife of Andrew on the 1900 entry.  The youngest child is Perry b 1879 TX and Perry J is listed as the oldest child b 1878 in TX on the 1900 entry for Andrew.   Since Andrew Jackson is a somewhat common name combination I am currently assuming that Andrew on the 1900 and Jack on the 1880 are the same person.  BUT are Eddie b 1872 GA and James E. b 1871 GA the same person????   Also is Gideon b 1873 GA and William G. b Oct 1872 GA the same person.   I did not find Andrew Jackson or William G on the 1910 census.   Any and all help is appreciated.  Thanks   Louise
