Proven facts: James R. WATSON was b.abt 1770-1780 VA. He married Catherine unknown (source will of James). They had Joab 1805 in VA. Fielding was born 1808 in KY. Mary was born 1810-1815 KY. Elizabeth was b. 1812 KY. Isaac was born 1823 KY. They were next found on the 1830 census of Madison Co. IL. I have found only one James R. Watson who married a Catherine in VA: 12/24/1803 Jams Watson married Catherine Watson Albemarle Co. VA. I have found one James R. Watson born abt 1780 Albemarle Co. I know there is a family of John Watson's from Albemarle Co. who had children James and Joab. There was a Joab born there in 1803. I'm trying to find out if this is the correct family for my Watsons. ===== Okay.... so I don't descend from anyone......Now What ????
