Is anyone researching African-American WATSONs in North Carolina? Mine are found in Edgecombe County, NC back to the 1880 census (David WATSON m. Celia KILLEBREW, parents of Lizzie -- my ggm, Lucy Ann, Harry, Jordan, others?), but I haven't yet been able to find anything earlier than this. Rumor has it that there is some Native American blood somewhere in this line, but I don't know any of the specifics on that. Any help would be fabulous! -Karen Researching: KNIGHT, WATSON, HILLIARD, KILLEBREW -- NC

Looking for info on an E. J. WATSON (possibly called "Kate") who was born abt 1870 in Grayson Co., TX. My notes indicate she married a man named LEWALLEN. Anyone out there have E. J. in their data? Mark Watson Carmel, CA

I am researching the Watson surname in Illinois. Does anyone have any information on the name in the Jo Daviess County area. The oldest known relative I have is Sherman L. Watson born July 5, 1869 in Apple River, Jo Daviess County, Illinois. he died on oct 3, 1905 He married Sarah Jane Jewell born may 10, 1872 in Scales Mound, Jo Daviess County, Illinois. And died sometime after 1936. They had two children: Clyde Jewell Watson (11/28/1891 - 11/22/1959) (My great grandfdather) and Madaline Watson (about 1896)

Kim, I am looking for a Frank Marion WATSON. He would be about 6 in 1860. I have no idea which county they were from but on the off chance that it was southern Indiana, could you look? I would really appreciate it.. I don't even know what his parents names were. This would be my gr-grandfather and he is doing a good job of eluding me. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Someone recently was looking for the Watson/Kitchen family. Can you email me? I think I may have a connection for you. Thanks, Kellie [email protected]

Hi Jo: This probably will not be of much help, but my Gr-Gr-Grandfather, William Watson Sr. of Buckingham Co. Va. had a son, Powhatan P. Watson, born 6 Sep. 1797 in Buckingham Co. married Sarah F. Robinson (Born abt 1797) on or abt 1820. Their children were: Sarah A. Watson B:abt 1822, Caroline Matilda Watson, B: abt Aug. 1823, George Washington Watson B: 8 May 1829, Mariah Watson B: abt 1833, Powhatan Watson B: abt 1835, Mary Elizabeth Watson B: abt 1836, and Andrew James Watson, B: abt 1844.This family wagon-trained to Chariton Missouri about 1838-39. They can be found in the census of Mo. 1850, and in my family newsletter " Slate River Branches Vol. # 4". Copies of the family bible in my possession can be found in the archives of the Lib.of Virginia. Hope this helps Jo Thiessen wrote: > Sometime ago I "spoke" to someone about this fellow, P.P.

Sometime ago I "spoke" to someone about this fellow, P.P. Watson, but rather than look up his address I decided to send this info to the entire list in the hopes it may help several others. Then if anyone has a connection to these people, or knows about Lena P. WATSON, b. abt. 1801, w/o William P. Holcomb, who raised a family in Maury Co., TN - or what the "P" stands for - they will contact me.

Hi Don, I believe I had you translate some German to English documents for me a while back. I have two letters that I received written in German and would like to hire you to translate them. Please contact me if you are willing to do this and please let me know what your fee is. Thanks, Nancy Watson

I am looking for watsons in mainly Jo Daviess County Illinois. Mainly descendants of Sherman L. Watson and Sarah Jane Jewell.

Hello WATSON researchers, I'm trying to find the parents for my 3'rd gr grandmother Catherine WATSON who was born about 1773 probably in Md. state. I have the marr. bond for her marr. to Thomas ADAMS 1794 in Bourbon County, Ky. The bond was signed by a Ralph ADAMS who was her guardian. I suspect either her father or maybe both parents died before 1794. I have searched for orphan & guardian records but no luck finding her listed anywhere. I'm also trying to locate the parents for Thomas. Thanks in advance for your help in my search, Ed Jones New Palestine, In.

Dear list: I assumed everyone knew of the WATSON GenConnect Boards on Rootsweb.com, but apparently not. Visit: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/indx/FamAssoc.html and type in WATSON. At the next screen, select WATSON from any of the seven categories: Queries, Bibles, Bios, Deeds, Obits, Pensions, Wills, and see whats there. Of course, you can type in ANY name you wish to see what else GenConnect has for you besides WATSON. Email me if you have questions. I am also the Board Manager for the WATSON GenConnect Boards as well as Listowner for WATSON-L. Happy (ancestor) Hunting, Chris
