William sttled on Harping Creek and John on Cherrystone Creek and Watson's Branch, where the lands are still held by the family. Among John's children was a son named Thomas, born May 1780 who married in 1806 Malinda Watson, a daughter of William Watson. The children of Thomas and Malinda Watson were: John, Thomas Jefferson, born 1809, Amos, Ichabod and Permelia Watson. Thomas Jefferson Watson married Elizabeth Leonard Duffel of Lynchburg in 1838 and had issue Wilbur Fiske, Fletcher Bangs, Thomas J, and Elizabeth Watson. Elizabeth Leonard Duffel was the granddaughter of Thomas Leonard, the English secretary of the Hon. Benjamin Franklin. Fletcher Bangs Watson married Pattie Treadway, daughter of Judge Wm. Treadway". (page 208) I believed Belinda Watson born 1813 was the daughter of Thomas and Malinda Watson. This has been disproved. Does anyone know the parents of Belinda Watson born 1813 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia? Her family moved to Perry County, Ohio.
