This is partial will and estate of Michael Watson of Edgefield District SC posted on the Edgefield District SC list. I believe the Arthur Watson executor is my 5th great Grandfather. Does Anyone else link to this family? I would love to place all of these Watsons.

Hi, Am looking for a Mrs. Mary Watson who married William Leech. He was born about 1775 in Spartenburg, South Carolina. They had eight children. The first was born in Livingston County Kentucky in 1800. His name was Ephraim Madison Leech. Could she have been a Martha? Can any one identify her? Thanks for providing the Watson site.
