I am still looking for information on the father of Perry Watson who was born ca 1821. He was in Marion County, Ga by 1840 and then in Taylor County, Ga. Lanell King

We are searching for information about William (or Isaac) Watson b. abt 1755-59 and md. Elizabeth Jones. William is believed to have been born in England. Family tradition says that three brothers came to the United States together shortly after the Revolutionary War. The brothers were William (or Isaac), Jonathan, and Richard. Richard returned shortly to England. The maiden name of mother may be Vincent (family tradition again). William and Elizabeth's children: William, Isaac, George, Simpson, Abraham, Jonathan, Vincent, Jacob, Lottie, Polly, Sarah, Nancy and Elizabeth.

Hi, I am looking for information on GEORGE E(dward?) WATSON, who was born January 31, 1861, in Norwich or Woodstock area of Oxford County, Ontario. His parents were JOSEPH SAMWORTH WATSON (1822-1890) and ABIGAL ANN HENDERSHOT (1832-1899). George E. Watson lived in Chicago, Illinois, and London, England, before moving to Winnipeg, Manitoba. In fact, I believe he lived at 31 Bijou Block, Winnipeg. I am pretty sure that he died in the 1930s, and almost certainly after 1932. I also have the names of his brothers and sisters if anyone thinks they have a link to him. I wonder whether he was married and whether he had children. John W. Sharp

Margaret Watson married Henry Dearduff in Bedford Co., Va. in 1797. James Watson was the surety for the bond. Margaret seems to have died as Henry married Edna Thornhill in 1802. I though that the Dearduffs, Watson, and Thornhills were all Quaker but have recently discovered that they were not. Henry Dearduff was a Dunkard or Brethern, and the Watsons were either Brethern or probably Baptist. Would like to find any info on these Watsons. Margaret and Henry had sons Jacob and John. There was a daughter Elizabeth but it is unknown if she was a Watson or a Thornhill. She was born 1802 - 1804. We would like to know which as she was our gggggrandmother and we don't know which line to try and trace. Joyce Moore

I am trying to find out why my father and his uncle were named WATSON. I have a feeling there is a connection to a WATSON family way back somewhere. My great uncle Watson O. Beach was born 9 Apr 1833, son of Urial Emmons Beach and Dolly Titus, probably in Salisbury, VT. My father,Watson Edgar Beach was born 2 Nov 1899, Manchester, NH. His parents were John Titus Beach and Edith Kelley. Someone suggested I try the WATSON list to see if there is a WATSON family who married into one of my families. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Joan Beach Little [email protected] ICQ 14427943

Samuel, I can go along with what you say. I have a GEORGE E. WATSON who lived in Chicago for a time in the late 1800s or early 1900s, but ultimately moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba. I also have George's brother, THOMAS J. WATSON, born 1852 in Ontario who moved to Chicago from Ashtabula, Ohio, but I know nothing more about his descendants.
