While we are still talking "Watts", I am searching for information on Elon Watts, daughter of Pressley Watts & Catherine Heard Stocks. She was born abt 1797 in GA, died in TX & was married to my GGGrandfather, Charnell C. Hightower Sr. If anyone has any info on this Watts family, sure would like to hear from you.
