Do you by any chance have any Barnes marrying any of your Watsons? Do they join Norris any place? My husband's grandfather was named Joseph Watson Barnes. He didn't know for sure where he was born or who his parents were. He was brought to the Protestant Home in Natchez when he was very small. He was taken home and raised in Jonesville, La. by a family named Gilbert. When he was left at the orphanage a trunk with all his papers was left with him. The trunk was burned in one of the fires at the orphanage. He was born in 1884 or 1885 and was dead before I ever met my husband. For years I have thought I would crack this mystery with no success. So, as a long shot, I thought I'd ask about your Watsons. Thanks for your time., Marie Bailey P.S. I met a great many Pauls when I worked around Jonesville, La. (actually descendents) The Pauls apparently lived mostly below Jonesville around the Larto area. They were represented to me as some of the beginning French people in the area.
