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. Joshua G. Watts (1804-) - (wife) Mary Livinia Martin - St. Marys Co., MD he was the father of Thomas B. Watts (my great-great grandfather) - Sarah Hogg (wife) also of St. Mary's Co., MD we think that his father might be from Virginia, but are not certain. Any information about other relatives would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Clif Watts Marion, MA 02738

Greetings All. FYI. On 29 February 2000, the House of Commons voted to extend the term of office of Privacy Commissioner Bruce Phillips for a period of four months, effective 1 May 2000. I would guess that they did not want to "change horses" until after the Expert Panel on Release of Historic Census has brought down their report. Happy Hunting Gordon A.

Hello, I'm researching my father's paternal grandparents, Henry Charles QUINN & Margaret Blanche MCINTOSH. This is the info I have thus far: from "Old Parochial Records" Petty, Inverness-shire, Scotland - 1841 April 30 Then contracted John MCINTOSH and Betty GOLLAN both at Gollanfield of this parrish who after three.... proclamation w. married. (.... = I could read that part of the entry on the microfilm) - 1842 Margaret daughter of John MACKINTOSH and Betty GOLLAN in Broomtown was born 1st and baptised 9th of February. The witnesses were John MCINTOSH and Robert ROSS both in Gollanfield. - 1843 John Gilbert Gollan son of John MCINTOSH and Betty GOLLAN in Gollanfield was born 13th and baptised 28th of November. Witnesses John GOLLAN, Esq. of Gollanfield and Wm. MCINTOSH there. - 1845 William son of John MCINTOSH and Betty GOLLAN at Broomtown was born 1st of May and baptised 5th of June. Witnesses John GOLLAN, Esq. of Gollanfield and Jas. FINLAYSON. - 1850 Thomas son of John MCINTOSH and Betty GOLLAN at Broomtown was born 19 and baptised 26 of July. Witnesses Wm. MCINTOSH and Jas. MCKENZIE both there. bereavment cards: - Died, in Ayr, on Friday, July 17th, 1896, at 4 o'clock, A.M., John MCINTOSH. Aged 82 years and 8 months. - Died, in Ayr, on Wednesday, February 13th., at 1:45 A.M., Elizabeth GOLLAN, Relict of the late John MCINTOSH, in her 86th. year. (According to my perpetual calendar, the year Elizabeth died was either 1906 or, I think, 1902. It was one of two, one definately being 1906, but I can't say which it really was because I don't know when she was born.) I used to think John & Elizabeth died in Ayr, Ayr-shire, Scotland, until I found this obituary the other day: The Little Falls Evening Times, Monday, August 9, 1920 Was a native of Scotland Mrs. Margaret QUINN passed away at home of daughter her last night. Mrs. Margaret Quinn died at midnight last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Del ROSE, at 11 1/2 Loomis Street. She had been ill for the past week, following a stroke of paralysis. Mrs. QUINN's maiden name was Margaret MCINTOSH. She was born in Inverness, Scotland, February 1, 1843. When 12 years of age she came to this county, the family settling in Canada. She was married to Harry QUINN, who died three years ago. Much of her life was spent near Richfield Springs, from which section she came to this city 20 years ago. Mrs. Quinn was a kind wife and a devoted mother, who was held in high esteem by her many friends for her splendid attributes of character. Surviving are one son, Henry, of this city; three daughters, Mrs. Frank GYER and Ms. William HOLLOW of Jordanville, and Mrs. Del ROSE of this city; two brothers, John MCINTOSH of Manitoba and Duncan of Prescott; and two sisters, Mrs. Kate WATTS of Toronto and Mrs. George HAMMOND, likewise of that city. Twenty-seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren also survive. The funeral will be held at to p.m. tomorrow from the Rose home on Loomis street. Rev. H.C. Cooper officiating. The remains will be taken to Richfield Springs for burial. (Except for the capitalization of the surnames, I typed the obituary as it was written. As we can see from the OPR entry, Margaret was born in 1842, not 1843. Mrs. William HOLLOW should be Mrs. William HOUSE. to should be two. Harry QUINN's given name was Henry Charles QUINN. Little Falls is in Herkimer County, New York) As I mentioned, I thought John MCINTOSH & Elizabeth GOLLAN were buried in Scotland. The family oral history said Margaret MCINTOSH & Henry QUINN came to North America from Scotland because her parents didn't approve of their daughter being with an Irishman. (Henry was said to be a gardener/coachman on their estate.) Ergo, Margaret's parents would of course still be in Scotland. After reading Margaret's obituary, I looked in my atlas. Sure enough, there is an Ayr in Canada, in Ontario. In a way this is good. My research in Scotland was at a deadend. This should open up some new avenues. When I was looking at the Petty OPRs, I only found birth records for those mentioned above. Would I be correct in thinking Duncan, Kate, & Mrs. George Hammond (would anyone know her given name?) were born in Canada? When? In the Petty OPRs, I found birth records for children born to John GOLLAN & Margaret LOGAN. Is he the same John GOLLAN who was wittness to a couple of Elizabeth's chilren's births? If so, could he be father? Would anyone know when, where, & to whom John MCINTOSH and Elizabeth GOLLAN were born? Who their families were? How far back can their families be traced? Would anyone know when & where Margaret MCINTOSH met Henry Charles QUINN? When they married? Henry Charles QUINN filed his Declaration of Intention To Become A Citizen around 1862. He was granted U.S. citizenship around 1868. (I do have the exact dates, because I have copies of the documents. However, I don't have them with me as I type this. They are in my files at home. I'm finding YAHOO MAIL to be convenient because I can type this from my mail id while I'm visiting my sister. Anyway,the point is, I can provide exact dates & copies of the documents to whomever is interested.) Henry & Margaret do appear on the 1870 U.S. Census. They & their daughter Elizabeth lived in Richfield Springs. Henry & Margaret's children were: 1. Elizabeth Jane b. Jan. 10, 1870 d. Mar 29, 1949 m. William Frank GYER 2. Catherine Amelia b. Dec. 3, 1872 d. 1880? 3. Margaret Blanche b. Dec. 16, 1874 d. Dec. 20, 1950 m. Bill HOUSE I'm not sure which newspaper this was from: Richfield Springs - Mrs. Margaret Quinn HOUSE died at her home in Columbia St., Mohawk, Dec. 20, 1950, after a short illness. She was born in Richfield Springs on Dec. 6, 1874, daughter of Henry and Margaret McIntosh QUINN, and was married on Jan. 2, 1892 to William HOUSE in Little Falls. Her husband died in 1933. Mrs. HOUSE had lived all of her life in the Richfield Springs area until three years ago, when she moved to the Mohawk Valley. She was a member of the Richfield Springs Presbyterian Church. Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Wesley CHRISTMAN, Mohawk; Mrs. Ernest EGGLESTON, Richfield Springs; Mrs. Kenneth BARRINGER, Mohawk; three sons, Charles HOUSE, Richfield Springs; Edward HOUSE, Utica, and Franklyn HOUSE, Ilion; a sister, Mrs. Miranda ROSE, Mohawk; a brother, Henry QUINN, Laurens.

Born Oct. 19, 1880 in Richfield Springs, she was the daughter of Harry and Margaret McIntosh QUINN. She was married to Delmont (Del) ROSE on Nov. 17, 1900 at Little Falls.

Hello, I am new to this list and am looking for a long shot here but anything is worth a try. I am looking for the parents of an Isaac Watts GRANT. This family had a strong tradition of giving the maiden name of the mother to 1 (or more) of the children. This went on for 3 generations ore more after Isaac. Since "Watts" is a surname, and there were Watts in Maine I am guessing that perhaps his mother was a Watts? Perhaps maternal grandfather even a Lewis WATTS? Isaac was born in Brunswick, Maine and raised his family in Locke Mills. But I expect him to tie into the large Grant family of Freeport, Maine. thanks, -Kevin King 1. ISAAC WATTS1 GRANT was born Abt. 1795 in Brunswick, Cumberland, Me, and died March 30, 1867 in Locks Mills, Oxford, Me. He married MARGARET WENTWORTH August 07, 1819 in Freeport, Cumberland, Maine, daughter of JOHN WENTWORTH and MIRIAM POTTER. Children of ISAAC GRANT and MARGARET WENTWORTH are: i. SARAH JANE2 GRANT, b. April 23, 1821, Locke Mills, Oxford, Maine. ii. ALBION KEITH PARIS GRANT, b. November 18, 1822, Locke Mills, Oxford, Maine. iii. JOHN WENTWORTH GRANT, b.

Greetings Listers. FYI. I have copied here the responses I received regarding my posting about a Census in 1885/96. For the most part they are self explanatory.

I had not heard of this particular census nor can I find reference to it in any documentation I have from the National Archives. If these records did survive, they would be with the Archives and available to the public, as are all census records up to and including the 1901 Census. Rather than having me act as a go-between, perhaps you might like to raise this question with the National Archives. Someone I have found to be very knowledgeable and helpful is Mary Munk (e-mail: [email protected]). I won't c.c. her on this message, in case you have already asked the question of someone else at the Archives.

There is a printed statistical volume deriving from the 1886 census of the Northwest, but when I was on a Cdn Histl Assn cmte on the census a few years ago we asked Terry Cook, then of Natl Archives, about this, and he indicated that the original returns no longer existed.

Looking for information on the Watts family of Alexander, North Carolina. If you are part of this clan, I would like to hear from you. Debbie

Greetings Listers, This past Thursday I spent a solid seven hours at VPL researching 37 years of Statutes and Orders in Council, from 1870 to 1907. I found one thing that I am sure all will find interesting. In 1885 there was a Statute assented to 1 May 1885. The title of this Statute was "Chapter 3. An Act to provide for the taking of a Census in the Province of Manitoba, the North-West Territories and the district of Keewatin" It provided that "a Census shall be taken in the Province of Manitoba, the North-West Territories and the district of Keewatin, or in such parts of the said Province, Territories and district as the Governor in Council directs, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five and before the first day of August, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six." Has anyone heard about this one before? Under the 92-year provision in the Privacy Act this Census should have been released in 1978 or 1979. I will be checking with StatCan to find out about it.

Hi all! I recently found an old newspaper clipping in a photo album belonging to my parents; probably from the 1920's -- it gives the origin of the WATTS name: "This name evidently originated in the time of Edward II, with the territorial name de WATH, whose descendants corrupted the name to its present form. It was first spelled WATTES in the reign of Henry VII. the family of WATTS, of Hawkesdale Hall, Cumberland County, England, deduce themselves from Sir John le FLEMING, Lord of WATH, who first assumed the name." There is a drawing of the WATTS crest (with a hand holding a branch then below a tree with 2 stars and a crescent moon (?) and the latin words: "SURVIVE FORTI NON DIFICIT TALCUM" (whatever that means!). If anyone wants me to scan the clipping and e-mail it, let me know. Moyra Burnett (in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada) [email protected]
