They appear in the 1880 (Curtis, Roane County, W. VA.) and 1860 (Hanover, VA) US Federal Census. Four sons: William F., born approx. 1854; Joseph H., born approx. 1858; Louis Bedford, born 1861 (my lineage), and Thomas W. Amelia died sometime after 1880, and before 1884. Watson and 3 younger sons were in Saunders County, NE by 1884, then all homesteaded in Kansas and Colorado. Anyone have ANY information on this Watson and Amelia Patmon? Trying to figure out where and WHO they came from.
