Elaine, Yes, this is my B.F.Watts. He moved to Texas sometime after 1885. One of his daughters, Pearl Nellie, was born in March 1885 in Little Rock, Ar. His next daughter, Villa Martha, was born March 1887 in Texas. Who by the way, married Charles C. Stead. Yes, he was in the 6th Ga. Calvery. Birth date is right. He died Feb. 20, 1934 in Corsicana. He is buried in Campbell-Elrod Cemetery in Corsicana. Yes, I would like to have those papers. What do you need from me?

Watts 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?

Dianna, Wonderful! Like I said I managed to get ahold of these papers when I was researching my WATTS in Navarro Co, TX. I held on to them hoping someday I would be able to mail them on to B.F. Watts descendants. I do not know for sure if our two lines of WATTS connect or not. Mine are also from AL. Haven't found a connection yet. Anyway, you need these and all I need from you is a mailing address.
