I am hoping someone on this list can shed some light on my WATT ancestors who hailed from Indiana. I know very little about them...... We don't know from where they came, or when. Following is what I know: JAMES WATT born August 11, 1823 (place unknown) married MARTHA MARION (surname unknown). They lived in Indiana (place unknown). An unknown number of children were born, among them: 1. Mary Elizabeth Watt born April 19, 1850, probably somewhere in Indiana, place not known. Mary died March 10, 1877 (place not certain--possibly Rensselaer), after a ride in a storm, getting thoroughly soaked, catching pneumonia and dying within three days. Mary married Caleb Augustus Hopkins on June 16, 1867, near Milford, Warren County, Indiana. Mary and Caleb Hopkins had three children before her death at age almost 27: Lodema "Dema" Jane Hopkins born July 17, 1868, Rensselaer, Jasper County, Indiana, Watt Clinton Hopkins born April 15, 1870, place not certain, possibly Rensselaer, and Robert Alfred Hopkins born September 22, 1873, Rensselaer, Jasper County, Indiana. 2. Martha G. Watt (birthdate and place unknown) married Nehemiah Hopkins, brother of her sister Mary's husband. Martha and Nehemiah Hopkins had an unknown number of children, among them Albert Eldridge Hopkins and Alva Hopkins (birthdates and places unknown) my line is through child # 1 above, Mary Elizabeth Watt and Caleb Augustus Hopkins, through their son, Robert Alfred Hopkins. Any help offered is greatly appreciated Genealogically yours, Virginia Gandrup Great great granddaughter of James Watt great granddaughter of Mary Elizabeth Watt granddaughter of Robert Alfred Hopkins
