In a message dated 99-06-29 05:29:38 EDT, you write: << The children above are the younger ones. Zachary was married before to a Mollie (Mary Jane) OWENS or OWEN. >> I've been searching hard but have no connection for my Watson family background. Do you know if Zachary had any children by this Owens woman. My grandmother (Minnie Watson Neblett) was a Watson, born in the 1880 near Bivins TX to Emerson Watson and Anne Huddleston. She had a brother, Walter Owen Watson. Just wonder if the tie-in to the Owen name might have some meaning? This Watson family moved to Bossier Parish Louisiana just prior to 1900 I believe, to a sawmill town, where they ran a boarding house. Thanks, J A "Bear" Neblett
