THOMAS J. WATTS, M. D. Dr. Watts is the son of James and Delilah (Tabor) Watts, and was born in Tennessee, Aug. 10, 1837. His parents were natives of North Carolina. His great-grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and his grandfather of the war of 1812. His parents moved to Greene county, Missouri, and settled on the James river, near the Webster county line. Thomas grew to manhood here, and was educated at the Ozark High School. He taught school for some time, and in 1858 commenced the study of medicine under Drs. Robinson and Barrett, and took lectures at the St. Louis Medical College. In 1861 he commenced the practice in Webster county, and in 1864 he removed to where he now lives. He enjoys a large and lucrative practice, and is one of the leading physicians of the county. He owns a fine farm of four hundred acres, and deals extensively in stock. He began life poor and has arisen to dignity and wealth by his own exertions. Dr. Watts was married in 1863 to Miss Martha A., daughter of Wiley and Charlotta (Edwards) Hedgheth, of Christian county, Mo., formerly of Tennessee. Their union has been blest with two childron, James W. and Lula T., deceased.

My great great grandfather DOLPHIN SMITH (1805-1885) was born in Ramsbury, Wilts, in 1805. This is very rare as a single given name for a boy. (Delphine is a more frequent, but still unusual girl's name). It is not clear how he came to have this name, but every 19th century male I have been able to trace bearing this name as their ONLY given name appears to be linked to him in some way or another, and I am trying to find out details with a view to producing a report on the use of Dolphin as a given name - rather than an adopted surname. Dolphin William WATTS was the son of Edward and Harriett WATTS, Gamekeeper, and was baptised at Ramsbury on 31st March, 1844. He is not listed in the 1881 national census index, so possibly had died, or emigrated, by this date. Does anyone know anything about him or his family - and are there any other "Dolphin" in the family. Chris Reynolds Visit "Genealogy in Hertfordshire" at http://www.hertsweb.org.uk/genealogy

Hi, I don't see any connection with any of you yet but below is a list of my WATTS lineage and the information I am seeking. My ggggrandfather Joseph Watts lived in the Northeast corner of Morgan township in Butler County between 1824 and Jan. 19, 1869 when he died. His neighbor was "John Ross"! John Ross had a small cemetery in the SW corner of his property where it bordered my ggggrandfather's farm and that is where my ggggrandfather and several members of his family are buried. The following is a list of family members who may be buried there: Joseph Watts, born ? died Jan.19, 1869 1st wife-Lydia Parker Watts, born ? died <?1855? 2nd wife-Sarah S. Watts, born ? died ? Children: John Watts, Joseph S. Watts, Elijah Watts, Mauriah Watts, Isaac Watts, I don’t know Joseph’s parents names or where they came from, according to the story my grandfather told Joseph was one of four brothers who migrated from Scotland. I would also like to learn who Lydia’s parents were and where they came from before they came to Butler County, Ohio. I’m also tracing the descendants of Samuel Watts’ four brothers and one sister. In 1854,Samuel Watts, my gggrandfather, moved wife and kids from Butler County, Ohio to a 160 acre farm near Fairbury, Nebraska that the government would give to any settler who would build a house and homestead. My gggrandfather had came to Fairbury in the summer of 1853 with my twelve year old ggrandfather William Parker Watts. Together they built a sod house as the government required to validate their land claim. My ggrandfather was left there alone on the prairie to spend the winter and hold on to the families farm. My ggrandfather married Malinda Percy Jolly from Indianapolis, Indiana. William Parker Watts moved the family to Oklahoma, first Edmond, then McCloud, and finally a farm seven miles north of Okemah, Ok. My grandfather, Henry Jolly Watts, was the youngest of eleven children. Henry Jolly Watts married Verlie Louise Stone and had three children. My father, William Alfred Watts, was the oldest child born July 16, 1916. Dad married my mother, Ina May Phillips, 19 February 1944 and I am the second of three sons. My older brother is William Henry Watts, my younger brother was James Earl Watts, now deceased. I am married (27years) to Alma Venita Watts, we have a son, Larry Alfred Watts Jr.and a grandson, Iain Thomas Watts, 6 1/2 months old. Yours Truly, Larry A. Watts Sr. 1229 SW 63rd St Oklahoma City, Ok. 73139-1307 1-405-634-0311

List was posted on the Scotch-Irish list. Chuck reply to linda Merle mailto:merle@fea.net Hi folks, new surname from an internet cousin. The first wife of my ancestor Robert NORRIS, whose sons' immigrated to western PA, early 1800's, was Mary WATT. There appear to be two families of WATT's about: One in Maghera and one in Magherafelt. Any WATT's from the Bann Valley? (due to having legs, the ancestors crossed the River Bann -- probably the women on the other side looked better.) Linda Merle
