Thanks Jeannette! I had a cousin who married a lady from PA and they live and reared their family there. I didn't have information on his family.

Although it's somewhat remote that you and I will connect our WATSON lines to a traceable generation (as my ine seems to have immigrated to the colonies from England and settled in Maryland or Virginia - and no known lines went to Georgia), I feel the more WATSON data we have in the DNA database the better. My line: John WATSON (b. ~1728 d. ~1810) married Margaret/Peggy and was residing in Albemarle Co., VA in the 1760's to 1770's. One son remained in Virginia, when it appears that most of the family migrated to Madison Co., KY by 1790. My line found its way to Texas by 1834. I have researched all the descendants of John and Margaret that I've been able to find- the known ones as well as good candidates- so I have several well developed adjacent lines.

Hello list, I've established a Watson surname-DNS study group at FamilyTreeDNA.com It's primary focus is for those who have Watson relatives with southeastern US roots but any male Watsons are invited to participate. (Only men have Y-DNA, so women need not apply, I'm afraid.) I expect to collect information about many Watson families before finding the one my own links to, and I'm happy to share it with those interested. The project page is at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/watson There is a link on that page to my genealogy website's Watson page where I've posted what meager information we know about my own Watson family. So far our "Most Recent Known Ancestor" is Charles L. Watson, b. 1838 in Georgia. Cheers, Katherine (Watson) Cochrane

Hi Ok the question is are these families related? John Watson line is a collateral line on my Moyher's Father's side and the William Watson/ Sara Ellen is my Great Grandmother on my Mother's Mother's side. Both Sarah Ellen Watson and Sara Ellen Watson were born in IN close to the same year... My Great grandmother would not use the name Sara and went by Ellen all her life.. I'm wondering if this was because her cousin (not proven to be a cousin) Sarah Ellen used Sarah??? if they are related it will help me find the parents of William Watson who is a brick wall for me...

I am descended from Llewellyn & Mary's second child, Amelia Annette Watson, born in 1879. Any help or connections are welcome.. Kirk Yingling

Hello, I am searching for old records from Dr. Watson who was in Burnet Co., Burnet TX in the early 1880s. I would appreciate any help. Melinda Taylor

Trying again to find information about John Watson. John Watson was married to Mary Mahoney. He was of Scottish ancestry. Their daughter, Mary Elizabeth Frances Watson was born in Massachusetts in 1836. The daughter married Emanuel Bushnell. Mary E. Chapman --maziec@earthlink.net

I have two collateral lines with sisters Margaret and Barbara THOMSON, marrying brothers Andrew and William WATSON, *probably* marrying in Cumberland/Franklin Co., PA>settling in Allegheny Co., PA, c. late 1700's. All four were born in Scotland. Other surnames connected to these lines include: CUDDY WYLIE BLACK McKINNEY M[C]AGEE PENTLAND MYERS FERREE Would enjoy hearing from anyone who descends from these families. Marybeth C.

Hi All, I'll list my lot in several instalments. Would like contact from anyone who thinks they may have a connection. Benjamin WATSON first appears - along with his wife Joanna - baptising children in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire 1714-22. By 1726 the family had moved to Oxford where Benjamin was a successful grocer. Children were : Unbaptised b & died 1714 Benjamin b1716, married Sarah AIRAY Martha 1718 Ann 1718 William b&died 1722 John b&died 1725 Mary 1726 John 1728, married Martha DOUGLAS was Mayor of Oxford 1783-84) Joanna b1732 (must have died) Joanna b1735 John & Martha had 5 children, John (died young), Robert, William, Martha and John over the period 1763-78. I'll list Benjamin & Sarah's descendants next instalment. Remember the list archives - it's well worth going back and checking earlier postings especially if you are one of the newer members. Regards, Stew WATSON King Country, New Zealand

looking for a william watson in henderson county, KY. probably born ca. 1790. i believe peter watson (b. 1810, KY) who was in randolph county, Arkansas by 1830 was his son, but unable to prove it yet. william's father may also have been named peter... there was also a tarlton watson. other families that i believe may have immigrated to AR with the watsons are winningham, lieb, and possibly adair. sound familiar to anyone?? scot

Hi, Seeking ancestors of James M. Watson, born 1807 somewhere in PA, married to Rebecca ? born in 1810. Not clear whether he fought in the Civil War. He appears as an engine builder in 1870 Indianapolis and died there in 1886. Children: (1) Elmer W. Watson, born 1843 in PA who married Jennie Elizabeth Rose in 1870 Indiana. Elmer was a railroad brakeman in 1870, a carriage painter in 1900 and coach painter in 1920 in Indianapolis and died there in 1913. (2) Rebecca Watson, born 1846 in PA, appears to have married Charles Calvert, a patent rights dealer born in 1841. One son, George, born in IN in 1872. Any help appreciated. Dick in Las Vegas

Does anyone here have anything on a Mary Watson b. c1712 NC who married William England b. c1700, Scotland. Mary Watson's father was William Watson b. Bet. 1640-1690. This would not be my main line of Watson's as far as I know, but it would be in my England line that married a Watson. Bob Horn

I am actively searching for my father's ancestors: John Robert Jones (Jones, Collet, Watson, Williams, McCray, Blankenship) and Allie Leona Hammontree (Hammontree, Cline, Hutchinson, Neal, Messor, Robertson, Staton, Darby, Holloway, Simmons, Wilfong). I have posted the latest information I have about my ancestors on my web pages. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/g/r/e/Barbara-Greene-1/ http://www.genealogy.com/users/g/r/e/Barbara-Greene-AR/ Happy hunting, Barbara Greene BJGreene@direcway.com
