Watson for a year now, but it turns out he died in 1864 and my GrGrandfather wasn't born until 1870 according to his death certificate. I do have quite a bit on the above line if anyone needs it. Does anyone have another George Washington Watson that served in the Civil War and died young? Only had 4 children: Sally, Anne, Alec, and William Franklin Watson. His spouse was Mary Elizabeth Tull.
