I understand they arrived in Virginia Coloney abt 1743. William`s father was Archibald Watters,(before they changed the name to WALTERS) who remained in Scotland. Can you fill me in on the trip over, dates, ports, etc? You seem to be well informed on the subject...THANKS! MERKEL WALTERS mertiger2@comcast.net I have learned that Archibalds father was William Watters, the son of another William Watters, who was b. in 1650 in Scotland.
