Hi All- Would any of you have information on David WATSON, born 10-17-1783 in Calvert County, Maryland? I am more than reasonably sure he is g-g-g-grandfather. According to my research, David married Mary HELFENSTEIN / HELPHINSTINE in 1807 in Madison County, Ohio. They were the parents of Stephen WATSON who married Mary Agnes COLLINS (date?) and had at least 7 children -- but more likely eight: Francis E. b. 1854 Indiana Eliza b. 1856 Indiana married a WHITZEL and had a son, Isaac b. 1876 Iowa Sarah b. 1862 Indiana (twin sons) Christopher ("Tip" later in life) b. 1865 Indiana William b. 1865 Indiana Charlie b. 1870 Iowa Hiram Lewis ("Ben" later in life) b. 1874 Iowa Ben was my great grandfather. I have some pieces of info on this family, but I am very interested in what happened with the other family members, any clue about the departure from Indiana, etc. I believe these WATSONs were living in or around the Muncie, Indiana area before coming to Iowa. I am also trying to find out when this family came to the United States and from where. I hope something here rings a bell with any of you. Thanks for your help! Brad GREENWELL Ft. Worth, Texas USA
