My second great-grandfather, Abijah Watson, was born 31 Jul 1805 in either NH or VT, depending on which record is being consulted. He married twice: first to Lavona Watkins on 29 Jun 1832 in Lowell, MA and second to Phebe Jones Sargent on 7 May 1837 in Lowell, MA (I don't know much about Phebe, my second great-grandmother, either). I believe Abijah's parents may be Daniel & Sarah (Palmer) Watson. Daniel's father was also Abijah Watson (who married Sarah "Sallie" Quinby). Abijah and Lavona had one child - Sarah Ann (m Thomas Riley); Abijah and Phebe had four children - Lavona (m Lewis Christian Hald/Hall), Leslie (d age 4), Edward Sargent (d age 2) [perhaps named for Phebe's father or brother?], and Charles Abijah (my great-grandfather who married Catherine Ann Meagher). I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else researching Abijah or his parents or grandparents.
