Hi all -- I have just gotten with you and have been reading the queries for the past few days. My WATSON family comes from Old Somerset Co. and Wicomico Co. MD. I am at a brick wall with my great- grandfather WILLIAM S. WATSON even though there were Watson's in that area of MD from the early 1600's William is listed in the 1870 Census of Wicomico Co as living in the Tyaskin Election District. William Watson 45 Nancy R. 35 Sarah V. 19 Georgia 15 Margaret 12 Mary C. 6 William H. 16 James S. 10 (my grandfather, James Squire Watson) John W. 9 Thomas A. 4 This Watson family is not listed in that area in the 1860 Census. I wonder if anyone recognizes any of these Watsons? One thing that fascinates me is the people's ages in the list. Could it be two families of children? William S. second marriage? Another family taken in because they were orphaned? Or maybe I'm reading things that aren't there and it's all one family from one marriage. Any help would be appreciated. Jeanne Scott
