Dianna, Would that bother be Leander Watts? It seems like I remember someone sending me some information on Leander Watts who had a brother named Benjamin Franklin Watts. My direct line is from Jacob Watts who married Permelia (Millie) Hollingsworth. Jacob was born in SC. Millie was born in NC. They lived in NC before coming to Clay Co.,AL in 1836 . Their children were: Isaac, George,Moses, Lucy, James, Jacob Hudson, Elizabeth and Hollingsworth.

Dianna, Dr. George Wesley Watts is buried in Corsicana . He was born July 22,1836 in Troup Co.,GA. Around 1907, he,his sons, Leander and Oscar, and their families went to Texas. Leander's descendants still own his ranch ,the Tic Tac Toe, in Frost, TX. I have a cousin who visited that family in 2000.

Dianna, When researching my WATTS in the Navarro Co, TX area I received some papers on B.F. WATTS who lived in Navarro Co, TX at Motor Route A, Corsicana in 1932. This B.F. WATTS was born December 1, 1842, in Cherokee Co, AL. He joined the Confederate Army at Cedar Bluff, Cherokee Co, AL in 1863. Cedar Bluff, AL is about 8 miles from the GA state line and after enlisting in AL he served in the 6th GA Calvary. I think he moved to TX about 1900. I think he had a daughter that married a STEAD. Two friends of his mention in Navarro Co are R.B. MITCHELL and Walter HAYES. Could this be your B.F. WATTS? Do you want these papers?
