Lori- The information you sent this a.m. has excited me a bit! I think the Thomas Watts you are speaking of could be the one I found in Richmond, VA a few years ago in the Historical Society in an old Bible. I sent the info to you and you posted it in the newsletter. But I am going to resend it and forward it on to Lou Ann. Don't be misled by the date of the Bible (1874) - read through every thing first. Before when I had you list this, I got emails from people saying 1874 is too late for the Thomas Watts they were looking for. Actually - the 1874 has nothing to do with Thomas - it is just the date that the person wrote the information down in the Bible. If I remember right, I think it was Sarah B. #10 child that wrote it. Thanks, Barbara Van Camp This is information I found in a Bible dated 1874 that once belonged to a family with the name of Bowen. Copies of the Bible leafs were made and donated to the VA Historical Society by a Mr. William E. Trout in 1981. I contacted Mr. Trout in May of 1997 and was told that he does a lot of historical research, and in his findings was the Bible mentioned above. He has no other information to give - he has no idea where he came across it. As he may have had it for some time, before realizing that it had information he should give to the VA H.S. This is the information found written in the Bible: John Watts and Sarah Bowen Watts are the parents of Thomas Watts. Nathan Bowen and Mary Sollars (not sure of the spelling) Bowen are the parents of Lydia Bowen. Thomas and Lydia Bowen Watts are the parents of: 1. Dixon B. July 27, 1784 2. Clarissa H. Oct. 28, 1786 3. Sabritt (sp?) W. May 17, 1789 4. Thomas B. Dec. 25, 1791 5. Charles H. Feb. 17, 1794 6. Nelson R. April 17, 1796 7. John W. May 8, 1798 8. Mary S. May 1, 1800 9. Nathan B. July 31, 1892 10. Sarah B. July 5, 1806 Could this be one or more of the Thomas Watts you are speaking of? ----- Original Message ----- From: <LorLin@aol.com> To: <WATTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 1999 5:10 AM Subject: Re: [WATTS-L] John>Thomas>Edward>Thomas > In a message dated 11/5/99 9:16:31 PM US Mountain Standard Time, > Pathoscafe@aol.com writes: > > << Subj: Re: [WATTS-L] John>Thomas>Edward>Thomas > Date: 11/5/99 9:16:31 PM US Mountain Standard Time > From: Pathoscafe@aol.com > To: WATTS-L@rootsweb.com > > Hi Lou Ann, > > Don't know if I have any answers for you, but I do have questions!

Nancy Stice Bond was sister to Dianna Stice Watt, my great great great grandmother, and one of her other sisters Sarah (Sally) Stice Simmons was my great great grandmother. My great grandparents, Benjamin Franklin Watt and Arminda Caroline Simmons were second cousins. Mary Watt Worthington in Illinois -----Original Message----- From: mary worthington <worthmar@netins.net> To: Wilson-Network-D-request@rootsweb.com <Wilson-Network-D-request@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, September 28, 1999 2:07 PM Subject: William Wilson I'm sending this story to the list in the hope it will help someone. The subject is the daughter of Andrew Stice and Nancy Green Wilson. Nancy Stice Terry Bond. Nancy is the grandaughter of William Wilson and Nancy Green Wilson. A History Of Her Family by Nancy Green Stice Bond dated April 30, 1904 Grandpa, William Wilson, and his brother, James came from Scotland, the latter being one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Grandpa William Wilson and his wife, Nancy Green Wilson, settled at an early day in what is now called North Carolina, Rowan County, and lived and died there. Raised his family until the Revolutionary War, then enlisted and served as Captain through the war. Their religion was known as "Old School Baptist." Nancy Wilson was born in 1770 and she could remember well when the Tories came and plundered her father's home. After they had taken all they thought they wanted, her sister Sally found that she had a white fur hat left, which was wrapped in paper and hung on a peg in the wall. She remarked, "I am going to take my hat down, for the next time they come they will take it." She had no sooner put it on her head than an officer came back and said "You have got my butcher knife." She said, "I have not seen it," and he snatched her hat off and away he went. Grandpa was home on a furlough. He had to hide in the woods in the day time and come home at night. He had a hole in the wall that he would run his hat along, and if all was still he would come, if not he would go and hide. Their eldest son went into the Indian war and was a Wagon Master. His name was Thomas Wilson. He was caught in a raid, and never found again. It was supposed that he was drowned in a stream, as there were no bridges then. He lived on the old home place, where his family grew up. Andy Stice married Nancy Wilson in 1789 in North Carolina, Rowan County. In 1790, their first child, Robert Elmore Stice was born . Then my father took a notion to go to old Kentucky, to what is now called Warren County, near Bowling Green on Green River. They traveled on pack horses, there being in all about twenty-five men and women. Andrew Stice's, younger brother , came with them. Two girls whose mother was dead also came with them. one was married; the other was Ruth McCracken. After they had been in the territory a while David Stice and Ruth McCracken were married and raised a family of four children. They lived and died near Bowling Green, Kentucky. Andrew and Nancy Stice were the parents of thirteen children, Robert Elmore Stice, Dianna Stice Watt, Sally Stice Simmons, Katron Stice Turner, Esther Stice Collier, Dice Stice, infant, William Wilson Stice, Nancy Green Stice Bond, John Stice who died when about six months old, Charles Stice, Andrew Stice, David Frier Stice, James Watt Stice, who died when he was about eleven years old Grandpa and Grandma Stice came from Germany, and belonged to the nobility. They were Methodists. Grandpa Stice had one daughter , Katron Stice, who married William Collins in Kentucky at an early date. They raised seven children. The Indians broke out and killed his wife and all the children. Nancy Green Stice Terry Bond was born in 1807, on September 23rd, in Warren County, near Bowling Green, near Green River, Kentucky. She lived there until she was nine years old when her father emigrated to Illinois Territory in October 1816. In 1818, October 18th, her father died. She lived with her mother until she was 19 years old, when she was married to Andrew Terry in Sinclair County, on May 10th,1827. She had four children, two girls and two boys. Then Andrew Terry died. In 1836 she went back to her mother, June 28th, in Madison County. Her baby died August 12, 1836. Then, October 10, she landed at her brother-in-laws, James Simmons, in Warren County IL near Greenbush. She stayed there until January 25th, 1844 when she was married to John C. Bond. She was his third wife. He had in his charge his mother and two sets of children, one child by his first wife, and two by the second, and she has three children of her own. She bore him two children, both of shom are still ! living. Cordelia Staat, with whom she makes her home, near Greenbush Illinois and Cansada Campbell, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Then to add to the number of their already complicated family they took in a boy to raise. In a period of 38 years they had the care of 40 children, besides their own, eight in number. In 1830, on Saturday before the third Sunday in May she related her experience and was received into the church and baptized the following Sunday, by what was called the United Baptists in Sinclair County, Richland Church before the split. William Kinney immersed her there. In 1838 she put her letter in Apple Creek Church, Morgan County, and in 1840 she transferred it to Greenbush in Newhope Church, on Saturday before the third Sunday in March, and there it still remains. (Aunt Nancy died when she was 98 years old.) Written by Mrs.. Serena Bowen, April 30, 1904.

Greetings listers. The Globe and Mail of Thursday 4 November 1999 had an excellent article titled "Erasing history" on page C1. It was followed up Friday 5 November 1999 by an editorial on page A18 titled "Unlock the past for the sake of the future". While both articles are geared to the perspective of Historians rather than Genealogists they serve to bring the problem to the public through a national publication. This is something long overdue. I felt both articles were very good. The letter to the editor below was intended to enhance the information in these articles from the point of view of genealogy. Feel free to forward this posting to any other lists to which you belong. Gordon A. WATTS gordon_watts@telus.net - ------------------------------------------------------------- Editor, The Globe and Mail I read with interest the full page article titled "Erasing History" (G&M, 4 Nov., p. C1), and the subsequent editorial titled "Unlock the past for the sake of the future" (G&M, 5 Nov., p. A18). While gratifying to see the Canadian Historical Association on board I was disappointed to see no mention of another group who have been seeking to obtain release of Post 1901 Census records for almost three years. Unlike the CHA, they have no formal organization and no official standing and until now it has been virtually impossible to get the media to take note of this situation. I refer to a handful of concerned genealogists across Canada who have been working via the internet, encouraging others to sign petitions, write letters to the media, to MPs, to Ministers Manley and Copps, and to Senator Lorna Milne. It is largely due to the efforts of this group, and those who followed their lead, that Minister Manley sought and received from Statistics Canada the two options referred to in the article "Erasing History". While the identity of this group is of little importance, the fact that there are an estimated 7.5 million genealogists within Canada is important. There is likely at least a similar number of people living in other countries that have "roots" in Canada. These genealogists seek to use information from Post 1901 Census to further their search for their ancestry, for their heritage. They have no sinister motive for seeking the release of Census. They simply want to know about their family. Information from Census provides names and relationships, birth dates and places, locations of homesteads, occupations, schooling, religion, countries of origin, immigration, etc. Much of this information is available from no other source in existence. It is precisely because of this information that Privacy Commissioner Bruce Phillips would have Census records destroyed, or hidden forever. I have studied a number of documents relating to this matter, including the Census and Statistics Act, R.S.C. 1906 (Chapter 68); the 1906 Proclamation directing a census of population and agriculture for the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta (Canada Gazette 21 May 1906, Orders in Council); Instructions to Officers, Commissioners and Enumerators for the Fifth Census of Canada in 1911; The Statistics Act (Chapter 43) assented to 24 May 1918; the consolidated online versions of the current National Archives of Canada Act, Access to Information Act, Privacy Act, and Statistics Act; the Census forms of 14 May 1996; and the 1985 legal opinion from the Department of Justice upon which Statistics Canada has based their decision not to transfer Census records to the National Archives. While I am by no means a lawyer, I personally see nothing within any of these documents that would preclude the transfer of Post 1901 Census records to the National Archives and their subsequent release to the Public. Regulations in the Privacy Act allow the National Archives to release census and survey results 92 years after collection. The 1998-99 Annual Report of the Privacy Commissioner states "The barrier to access is the Census and Statistics Act of 1906 and several subsequent laws, all of which prohibit Statistics Canada from disclosing personal census information to anyone - including the National Archives." I submit that this is a matter of interpretation. It is true that the Census and Statistics Act of 1906 and subsequent legislation have clauses that restrict release of identifiable, individual information from Census. These clauses are worded in the present tense. There are no time limitations mentioned in the documents researched. There are no clauses that specifically allow transfer of Census to the National Archives, and no clauses that specifically prevent that transfer. There is simply silence on the subjects of time limitations to confidentiality and transfer of records to the National Archives. In my limited experience I have understood that when one piece of legislation is silent on a particular subject while another piece of legislation is not, the legislation that is not silent would govern. In this case clauses in the Privacy Act allowing transfer of Census after 92 years should govern. Statistics Canada has made much of a promise of confidentiality in perpetuity regarding the Census since 1906. In regards to this promise I requested from Statistics Canada to know three things. These were "Specifically what clauses of what Acts spell out this never ending promise. The form (wording) of said promise of confidentiality in perpetuity. The means by which respondents were advised that said confidentiality would be forever." While Statistics Canada was very cooperative and sent me some documentation, they were apparently unable to provide specific answers to my specific questions. It would appear that this promise of confidentiality in perpetuity exists only in the minds of those who wish it to be. Respondents to Census are of course entitled to privacy. I would suggest however they are concerned about that privacy in the present time, not 30, 60, or 92 years down the road. In our research regarding Post 1901 Census we have found no indication that Privacy concerns of the day had to do with descendants seeking family information. To the contrary, concerns seemed to center on the possibility that other Government departments would use Census information for their own purposes, i.e. taxation, military service, school attendance, the regulation of immigration, or the enforcement of laws. Even today, Mr. Phillips, in his address to the Senate 18 February 1999, indicated that one of the major complaints received by his Office was that of cross indexing of personal information between different Government departments. He made no mention at that time of any complaints regarding release of personal information from Census 92 years after collection. Both Statistics Canada, and the National Archives have indicated they have received not a single complaint of this nature. Those who wish more information, including downloadable petitions, sample letters, and a correspondence log and scoreboard for MPs position on release of Census can visit the Post 1901 Census Project website at <http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census> .

I am seeking information about Thomas Watts and Drusilla Hamm, who were married about 1810 in Madison Co., KY. Thomas was the son of John Watts and Sarah Barnett, and was born around 1783 in either Culpeper Co., Virginia or in Madison County, KY. Thomas is listed in the 1810 census for Madison Co., but not in the 1820 census, and it appears that he had died by then. I would like to know the names of the children of Thomas and Drusilla. Also, I would like to know if Thomas had a second wife, and if so, whether Drusilla was his first or second wife. Many thanks, Bill Watts wwatts@butler.edu

John Watts and Sarah Barnett Watts are my ggggg grandparents. I have fairly good and well documented information on our lineage from them forward. I have gaps from them backward and wonder if anyone on the list might connect with them. John Watts' father, I believe, is Thomas Watts b. 1700 Culpepper, VA. d. probably 1748. His wife is Esther, possibly maiden name Stone. I have their wills naming the same children even though Thomas died a long time before Esther. I am not sure who Thomas's father is, but he could be Edward with Edward's father being another Thomas who immigrated in 1615 and whose wife is possibly Susan. Can anyone help? Lou Ann

Good morning fellow listmembers. I've been lurking for a bit. However, thought I'd try my query. Samuel Dana Watts was christened Jul 4, 1851, New Glouster (perhaps Pownal), Cumberland County, Maine. Have information that his father was George and his mother was Sarah. No information on Sarah's lineage. Samuel Dana Watts married Ida Files; however, I have no information on Ida's lineage either. Samuel and Dana had a daughter ELizabeth Mae Watts. I have everything on the family after Elizabeth, but Samuel and Ida are a mystery. Hope these names ring a bell with someone. Thank you very much for any assistance you can lend. Regards, Denise Savage

Hi - Tommy Markham - Annette Towler >From Dick Fleming, rfleming1@compuserve.com After looking over what was written by Tommy Markham, is it possible that the James Watts I am looking for could be the son of your James Watts3 (WILLIAM2, THOMAS1) who was born January 27, 1767 in Albemarle Co., VA; that married Elizabeth Durrett My information says as follows: According to the stone in the cemetery BURIAL: Letter of 7 Feb 1995 from John Shafer of Des Moines. James and Rebecca Watts were buried in Mt. Zion Methodist Church Cemetery near Natural Bridge, Virginia. From photos of their stones in their in the cemetery we learned that James Watts died on 8 May 1887 at the age of 90 years, 7 months and 21 days. NOTE: Rockbridge County was divided from Botetourt County in 1778 and Natural Bridge was previously in Botetourt County. BIOGRAPHY: From the Washington and Lee University, James Nelson Watts owned land on Buffalo Creek, Rockbridge County, VA. His name is on deeds, maps and is listed as a taxpayer in 1841 in District 11, Wallace's mill to Boatyard mill on Buffalo("History of Rockbridge County, Virginia"). May have been born in Amherst County, VA where there were many Watts families.(Barbara Slough) DEATH: Will is record in Book of Wills at pages 85,86,87 & 88. Listing children and their spouses. FAMILY: Father and Mother are from the Church of Latter Day Saints Ancestrial File and are just a guess based on the date of birth of James Nelson WATTS.
