Click on Order Family History Resources on www.familysearch.org , then click on Software Downloads - Free, and select Personal Ancestral File 4.04 (there is no .05). This is a multiple language program and all languages are included within the program. They are English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese.

Hi List. Looking for Gibbons Watson. 1824-1893. Believe he lived in Parkersville Chester County Pa about 1856. May have been a member of Parkersville MM. Or his parents for whom I am searching. Thank you for any information. Linda

I need the parentage for Elizabeth Watson who married Folkert Vandergrist who died 1775. I also need the names of the children of Elizabeth and Folkert. Any additional information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help. Jean ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

I want to thank Barbara Farthing Bonham and Steve Watson for all of their work in bringing to the genealogy world a lot of facts pertaining to our Watson people. I want everyone to know I made prints of their complete websites and added it to my own much researched Watson line. Barbara wrote on 31 May 1998 that there is much mis-information being distributed pertaining to the John watson who lived and died in Pittsylvania Co. Va. Barbara says court and land records from Hanover, Louisa and Pittsylvania clearly identify John as not being a Sir John Thomas Watson or Thomas John Watson an immigrant She welcomes any and all to discuss any disputed data but "WITH CLEAR DOCUMENTATION." I believe he was the claimed immigrant. Barbaras end notes includes her source of facts. #4 Personal files or knowlege of Barbara Farthing Bonham #9 Files of Sheila Smith Cadwalader, internet entry [email protected] 06 Aug 1997 #16 Files of Carolyn Reinbold #22 A handwritted Account of births, marriage and deaths #29 Marriage record or presumption based on evidence Numbers 22 and 29 best fit my point of view that I wish to make. We as people who are now living many generations removed from when "THE IMMIGRANT' was alive it might be safe to say at least 250 years since he was last seen walking around. For anyone to say they accept handwritten notes for births, marriage or deaths and apply PRESUMPTION based on evidence and than not to accept hand written evidence from THE IMMIGRANT'S own great grandson who no doubt had lived all of his life listening to tales from his grandfather and father about the adventures of this very unique individual is very difficult to understand. In a court of law they accept depositions from eye witnesses therefore I too accept the statements made by Thomas Jefferson Watson the fourth generation removed from the IMMIGRANT. He makes his deposition to his son-in-law, Professor John Christian of Blacksburg, Virginia about 1891 or 1892 for the family of I. T. Watson, a copy (from which this was taken was provided to Henson (Walker) Overbey by Miss Nancy Watson. Thomas Jefferson Watson states his great-grandfather was named Thomas Watson He was a Scotchman and a Presbyterian. He came to America in the early part of the eighteenth century to search, it is said, for a brother who was an Admiral in the British Navy. Failing to find him, he settled in Hanover County, Virginia. He there married a widow lady who had two or three children. He moved from Hanover County to Pittsylvania County between 1740 and 1750, bought a good tract of land and settled on it. The village of Chatham is build on a part of this land. Here he lived until his death about 1802. His reason for relating these facts was to leave a heritage for his great grandfather's descendants. You and I can now retell the story to our children. We now know one of our forefathers came from Scotland who helped to build America as we know it to be today. I believe The Immigrant was a success story. A story which should be retold over and over again. Flavel Watson was my grgrgrgrandfather I have him documented and safely secured in my records so his memory will always be remembered as long as the written word is accepted on this earth. I have visited his grave and feel that he was will loved and a very good man. I'll not let him be forgotten as many are forgotten. Please visit my website http://www.casstel.net/~jagile/

Hi List, I have to apologize for an oops. When I named the children of David Watson of Frederick Co Md in an earlier email, I inadvertantly left out George. Children are George, John, William and Mary. I'm sorry if I misled anyone. I do have these senior moments now and again! Rosemary Colvin

First let me say that I don't have any personal knowledge of this specific family. However, as you seem to be asking for suggestions of additional sources for either proving or adding additional support to your hypothesis, I can suggest three things: 1. Where is the marriage record of Mrs. Lutitia/Lettitia/Low Cate to a Caldwell between the 1870 census enumeration and her death in 1875? 2. As Lizzie was 11 in the 1870 census and the ages of the two boys indicate that their father was alive less than 10 years earlier, where is the family in the 1860 census? 3. What does the death record of William A. Cates of Knowles, California, indicate as to his parentage?

I have found a Bible record for a David Watson b jun 15 1748 who married Alice Peavey born Aug 21 1760 David's parents are listed as Thomas P???? born jun 16 1703 and what looks like Marge last name begins with a B. b Jul 8 1710 the record is from the state of NewHampshire County is listed but hard to read ???ford. The children listed are David born Jun 15 1776 Mary born May 17 1778 Thomas born Apr 21 1781 Anthony born Sep 15 178? Nancy born March 12 1786 Stephen born Jun 15 1789 William born Dec 9 1791 Daniel born Jul 30 1794 Alice born Mar 6 1797 Tammy born apr 16 1799 The names below look like they may be grandchildren Nathaniel born Nov 1 1801 Pheney born Oct 2 1803 Daughter of ? possibly David John born Nov 13 1806 Son of David Andrew born sep 26 1830 please let me know if these Watson's are related to you I'll send you a gif. of the record.

It's time ask all of you again about my family search. It has been a while since I've published a shotgun plea for help. I have some new information I call circumstantial evidence that connects my great grandfather, U. Riley Jonathan Cates to the Gideon Cate family of McMinn County, Tennessee. First, the know facts: 1. Gideon Cate b. 19 Jan, 1800, Jefferson County, TN., married Elizabeth Stephenson 24 Dec., 1820, d. 29 Jan., 1878 2. One of their children was Christopher C. Cate, b. 1837, d. unknown 3. Christopher married Lettitia (last name unknown, but maybe Russell, if my research is right) 4. A woman named Lutitia Caldwell (as indicated in court minutes from McMinn County, TN filed 1891) had 3 children (by her first husband C. C. Cate) Lizzie, William, and Riley; also stated is that Lutitia is deceased 1875 and that Lizzie is deceased whose son is Robert Cate 5. A woman named Low Cate is the head of house in the 1870 McMinn County, TN. census has three children, Lizzie/11, William/9, and Riley/6 6. Low Cate does not appear in the 1880 or later census 7. The court minutes also indicate that "Urile, or Riley, or U. J. C. Cate of Texas, and William or Bud Cate disinherited by grandfather". I think that Gideon Cate may be the grandfather mentioned here 7. The 1931 obituary for U. Riley Jonathan Cates indicates that he came to Texas from Tennessee with his wife Callie Watson (her first name was Addy) soon after their marriage abt. 1885. Also stated is that he was an orphan, and that he was survived by several people including his brother William A. Cates of Knowles, California. I am assuming, due to circumstantial evidence, that Low Cate (had the three children on census, Lizzie, William, and Riley), Lutitia Caldwell (first married to C. C. Cate and they had 3 children, Lizzie, William, and Riley), an d Lettitia (last name unknown but may be Russell) a woman listed as the wife of Christopher C. Cate by a researcher, are the same person. If my assumption is true then the father of my great grandfather Riley Cates is Christopher C. Cate, son of Gideon Cate. My search is to find documented proof, or even the acknowledgment from several other researchers that I may be right. Will anyone help me?
