Seeking info on Jacob WATSON who is listed in 1860 Noxubee MS census, perhaps listed as Jack WATSON in 1850 Noxubee MS census: 1850 Noxubee Co., MS Census #428 [Almost certainly Jacob, as living near same neighbors as 1860] Jack WATSON 32 m planter KY [should be "Jacob"] Elizabeth 28 f SC Josaphine 10 f MS [likely not dau; 1843 marriage?, is this Josiah? age would be 4 yrs too old, wrong sex] Ann 06 f MS [age 4 yrs too old] Martha 04 f MS [age 4 yrs too old] Elizabeth 28 f KY [sister Eliza? Jacob son of Jesse WATSON had a sister named Eliza, born in KY] El?i?? 08 f AL [not sure who this is, maybe Eli? age would be 4 yrs too old, wrong sex] 1860 Noxubee Co., MS Census, District 2 Brooksville #136 Jacob D. WATSON 41 m farmer KY E. 38 f SC [Elizabeth RAWLS m. 2/4/1843 MS] Josiah 16 m farmer AL Eli 14 m MS Ann 12 f AL Martha 10 f MS William J. 08 m MS S. A. 06 m MS Jacob 03 m MS I can't account for the 4 year difference in the children, except that Jacob seems to have traveled to Alabama at least twice based on birth location of children, and perhaps neighbors offered his family information. I believe this Jacob is likely the son of Jesse WATSON, son of Evan Thomas WATSON. Jesse died 1834 in Arkansas Territory, and his wife Rebecca DENTON Watson is said to have removed to MS where she died. Four of Rebecca DENTON's brothers are found in Noxubee MS between 1840 and 1860 (Isaac and Joseph Grove DENTON in 1840, Gideon, John and Joseph Grove DENTON in 1850, and Gideon DENTON in 1860). Rebecca's father's name was Jacob DENTON and he died 1840 in Perry AL. This Jacob D. WATSON is likely Jacob Denton WATSON. Jacob married Elizabeth RAWLS 2/4/1843 in Noxubee MS. Can any WATSON or DENTON researchers shed any light on this? Jacob had siblings Lucinda, Betsy, Eliza, Rebecca, John (whom I believe to my ancestor) and Jesse Jr. I'm looking for these children, they were all alive in 1834 Arkansas Territory according to Jesse's will.
