Hi Cliff, I have just picked up the "Dickson,Dixon" Genealogy Book from my mother. Her father was William Harlan Watts, from Knott Co. KY, I have e-mailed you before re: him. I have just learned from her that her G uncle Thomas Watts lived in Wash DC (maybe Maryland). If you are interested let me know and I will go thru and see if I can locate your Thomas Watts. Please email me @[email protected] Thaks Phyllis Faulkner GA [email protected] wrote: > Hi Watts-listers, > > I am not sure about protocol on this server, but I am looking for a little > help. > > I am looking for the father or other relatives of > > Capt.

Ellen Watts (aka Eleanor or Mary)(born about 1832) married John Green, 1 May 1856, Scotland Co MO. It appears they moved around a lot. Family is found in Jasper County, MO, 1860, with children James W (age 3) and Alice (age 2 months). Their third child, my g grandfather, John Martin Green,told that he was born in Pulltight, Missouri, 1862. (Historical society advises me this was a sawmill town also known as Middle Fabius) The 1870 Scotland Co census index shows these names in 1870, but I have not been able to get to a full census record yet. Ellen had brothers: James Ashabald Watts (born 1835. Indiana), Allison or Alonson Watts (born 1843 Indiana, and listed with Ellen in Jasper Co 1860), Joseph (born 1846 and traveled to Wyoming with Ellen and her children probably shortly after 1870, then on to Oregon). One sister is shown , Alica A (born 1840, Indiana). I know there are several Watts buried in Scotland Co, MO. Does anyone have in connections to any of these people listed?

Hi, Listers: I was doing some lookups today in my town library and found a WATTS entry on a microfilm. It's not my family. I thought I would post it in case it helps someone. Stoneham, MA 1884 Valuation & Tax for Non-Residents Watts, Lucinda Residence - Sioux City, Iowa house and land on N. Montvale. Regards, Dick Watts http://www.geocities.com:80/SiliconValley/Foothills/5212/more/signature.html

I removed the forwarding to clean this up a bit. I don't normally send forwarded messages to my lists unless of course I feel the message is worthy. As most all of us are family historians I felt this deserved to get some attention! Please, simply delete if you feel that this is an intrusion....Melody In a message dated 4/17/00 22:43:19, [email protected] writes: << This is a email from a friend of mine that Portrays General Robert E.

Lee's Boyhood Home was CLOSED to the public after 30 years as a museum. The Lee-Jackson Foundation SOLD it to a multimillionaire couple as their private home, NOT open to the public.The sale was totally secret until it was a "done deal".The house was never publicly on the market, and the millionaire buyerasked the Foundation to keep the sale confidential. The purpose of this website is to spread the word about this heritage outrage and mobilize support to maintain the museum for the public. Won't you take a moment, visit the website and. if so inclined, place your name on the petition lending support to VA.'s Atty. Gen. who has taken the bold step of investigating this action by people that feel their money gives them the right to appropriate this National Treasure and deny the public free access to a Historic Landmark? http://www.leeshome.com

Hello Everyone, My grandmother, was Clementine Watts, daughter of James Madison Watts and Analind Elizabeth Britt. James was the son of Mordica Richard Watts, and Mary Amanda Hammack. Mordica was the son of William Watts and Nancy Wommack. William and Nancy moved to Lincoln Co., MO, where their descendants grew up and married. I have a great deal of information on this line of the Watts family, and I am specifically interested in corresponding with anyone connected to the lines in Lincoln Co., MO

Hi List: Found these folks in 1830 Henry Co, AL Federal Census: Pages so dark could not find Page Numbers; EDWARD WATTS Age 50-60 Born 1770-1780 Male WATTS Age 20-30 Born 1800-1810 Female WATTS Age 10-15 Born 1815-1820 Female WATTS Age 5-10 Born 1820-1825 [Believe this is my WATTS connection to my gg-grandfather Edward J. "Ned WATTS married Elvirah Elizabeth Fleming and is found in 1840 Covington Co., 1850 Coffee Co. and 1860 forward, Monroe County, AL] ISA WATTS Age 50-60 Born 1770-1780 Could this possibly be ASA WATTS instead of ISA? Spouse WATTS Age 50-60 Born 1770-1780 2 Male WATTS Age 20-30 Born 1800-1810 2 Female WATTS Age 20-30 Born 1800-1810 1 Female WATTS Age 15-20 Born 1810-1815 JOHN EVANS Age 50-60 Born 1770-1780 Next Door Neighbor of ISA WATTS Spouse EVANS Age 50-60 Born 1770-1780 Male EVANS Age 30-40 Born 1790-1800 Male EVANS Age 10-15 Born 1815-1820 Edward and Isa were not on the same page but were not too far apart. I believe these are my ancestors and am hoping that someone has these people as lost souls somewhere in their databases or records. My NED WATTS was born [se he says] in either SC or TN ~1804-1814. It appears by the appearance in Henry County in 1830 [I have to go back and look at Henry and Dale Counties for 1840 & 1850], Ned's migration to Covington in 1840 [with an elderly lady in residence], back to Coffee in 1850 and then settling in Monroe 1860, is that his path was lateral moving West, then East and finally, West again to Monroe. I know I've seen land records in both Henry and Dale and believe there are some WATTS folks recorded in 1840 & 1850 in these counties. Today was the first opportunity I've had to get into the Library and the census films in many months. Hoping to hear from someone. Kaye

Hello, I am new to the Watts Family List. I am looking for information on a William H. Watts and a Nora L. Watts. William H. Watts married my GGG Aunt, Hannah Emaline Thompson (b. 7-20-1830 Montgomery Co., IN) April 1, 1856. Nora L. Watts married my GG Uncle Thomas Hunt Thompson (b. 11-15-1863) on October 5, 1885. They had two children Lloyd and Reba. If anyone has any information on either one of these families, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks, Alan

I'm very new to this particular list so the question I'm going to ask may have been addressed previously. Was Samuel WATTS, who was born 1650 in Haverhill(?), Massachusetts, married to two different Elizabeth AYER(S)? The first marriage was October 28, 1684 in Haverhill, Massachusetts to Elizabeth AYERS, daughter of Thomas, who was born 1659 in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The second marriage was March 8, 1696-7 in Haverhill, Massachusetts to Elizabeth (Ayer[s])CLEMENT. This Elizabeth was born 1652 in Haverhill, Massachusetts and was the widow of John CLEMENT. I think I have the above Elizabeths in the correct order. Any information would be greatly appreciated, and I'm always happy to share what I have. Regards, Judy McIntyre

Greetings All. FYI. My submission to the Expert Panel on Access to Historic Census records, less the table of contents and appendices containing support documentation, is contained in my Post 1901 Census Column in the Global Gazette, now on line. The appendices containing support documentation will not be published do to possible copyright problems. The opening page of the column can be found at http://www.globalgazette.net/gazce/gazce53.htm There is a problem with the link from page two to page three which hopefully will be corrected shortly.

Greetings All: Subsequent to my e-mail of 16 March regarding this subject, and a few fast emails back and forth, I received the following from Ms. Mary Ledoux of Statistics Canada. Mr. Watts, I spoke to Dr. Van Loon and he indicated that there is no truth to the communication you received that the report of the Expert Panel will be presented shortly. The target date of the end of May 2000 remains the same. Therefore, your submission is welcomed. Mary Ledoux This is welcome news to those of us who have been working on submissions to the Panel but have not yet sent them. While Ms. Ledoux makes reference to the target date at the end of May 2000, this is the date the Panel is to submit their report. Deadline for submissions to the Panel is 1 May 2000 but I would not waste time if you intend to make a submission. The Panel requires time to review our submissions and to compile their report.

Greetings All. This afternoon I received a communication that indicated that the report of the Expert Panel on release of Historic Census records will be presented "SHORTLY" rather than waiting until the mandated date of 31 May 2000. I have sent an e-mail to Dr. Pamela White, secretariat of the Expert Panel, expressing concern that if this is so, many submissions that have not yet been sent, including my own, would not be received and considered by the Panel. The original deadline for submissions, as given me by Dr. White, was 1 May 2000. I have asked Dr. White to respond IMMEDIATELY advising as to the current status regarding presentation of the report of the Expert Panel. I will advise her response. If there has been no email response from her by morning I will be telephoning her. The upshot of all this is, if you have not yet sent your submission to the Expert Panel, DO IT NOW!!! Gordon A.

Looking for any information on Albert/Alfred Burton Watts born about 1820/23 in possibly Spartansburg South Carolina. I know nothing about his parents or siblings and cannot get back past the 1850 census. Do know who he married and their children and fill part of them in. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jody ([email protected])

I am looking for Luther T Watts b c1850 in Virginia. The Watts family was Tennessee. They family move to Texas. There the parents(?) died and Luther got mad at all the fighting over estate. He got on his horse and rode away and never to see them again. Luther was 16 so the date would have been 1866. Luther married Virginia Munkers( Wigington) in 1885 in Cooke County, Tx. I now know there was another brother who got mad too. But this brother when back home to Tennessee. Where in TN is unknown. The brother name is unknown too. Like said Luther did not tell us much. janet
