Thanks for the suggestions, Helen. I have a copy direct from the State Archives of Hiram Watts' pension claim for service in the Texas Army of the Republic. There is no list of final payment or giving his death date. Carroll Watts' Pension Application for service in the Civil War doesn't give his death date either. When I get time during the work week I will go to the Archives to check the copy of Nancy Watts' Widow's Pension App for confirmation of death date for Carroll and possibly for her. The Death Index books at the TX State Library do not show either Carroll or Nancy's names. Since they died in a rural area not necessarialy under a doctor's care there probably were no death certificates issued. I have not found a will listing in Tyler Co for Hiram, Carroll or Nancy. Perhaps I missed it last Nov. when I made a 2 day stop in Chester/Woodville. Photos of the headstones may have to do but i sure would like to have further documentation if possible. A church record would be nice. Please keep the suggestions comming in. I have quite a lot of info on Watts, some on Amos Richardson family and a little on the Peters families. My Jones family was from Polk Co, Barnum to Corrigan area, so I have a lot on Jones' and related families near Tyler Co, too. Pat ------------------------------
