Brenda, My grandmother, Lucy C Watts' mother was Nancy E Richardson Watts, 7th child of Amos Richardson (1815 LA - 1896 TX) and Anna Peters (1817 SC - 1898 TX). Anna's parents were Joseph Peters (b about 1795 SC) and Olive Rentz (b about 1799 SC). They had children: James, Anna, Mary, Charles, Jonathan, and Isaac W. Isaac married Lucinda Durden 9 Jun 1851 in Tyler Co. They were married by Jonathan Peters, Justice of the Peace. The TX Death Index lists Isaac W Peters died 30 Dec 1914 in LaSalle Co. I do not know if this is the same Isaac or not. I have not followed up on this branch of the family after finding them in the 1870 Tyler Co census. I show children: G.L., John H, Olive, James B, Sarah, and Edith. I show Olive married J.J.F. Wilson 5 mar 1875 in Tyler Co. Olive Rentz parents were Simon & Mary Rentz. Simon's parents were John George and Catherine Rentz. This info on the Rentz was given to me, not my original research so I am not sure how accurate is is. Another coincidence: Claudia Bates' mother was Satira Cornelia Ivy. Tyra's parents were Martha Ann Hammond and Elijah Ivy. Martha Ann married 2nd James Allen Jones of Barnum area. Their 4th child was Manton P Jones, my grandfather! Manton was working on the pipeline gang at Chester pumpstation when he met a beautiful schoolteacher, Lucy Watts. They were married in Jun 1911. My father, Manton Jr. was the only child. Pat ------------------------------
