Thomas Henry WATTS (1805-1879), s/o Thos WATTS and Lavinia HUNTLEY married Rosa J HELTON in Union Co, NC on 28 Feb 1859. Rosa was born in 1833, so she was considerable younger than Thomas. This opens the possibility that Thomas had a first wife and possibly another family. Rosa is also a m;ystery. According to the marriage records, she was born in Chesterfield Co, SC. In the 1860 census she is listed as Rosanna, but in others she is Rosa. I have been unable to identify Rosa's parents. Thos and Rosa WATTS had the following children: John Dudley (1859-1929) m Sophronia Mangum Mary Elizabeth "Molly" (1860-1924) m James Owen Gregory N Thomas (ca 1863) listed in 1870 census with parents and 1880 census with Rosa, no other info Annie Lillian (1864-1933) m Jesse Clayton Chisolm Townley Blair (1868-1962) m Henny Evans and Ida Allen Garry Henry (1875-1952) m Mary E Watts and Almetta Douglas Jerome D "Rome" m Ella L Hancock I have a great deal more info on the ancestry and descendants of this family, but would particularly like to find parents of Rosa Watts and info on early years of Thos H Watts. Is anyone researching this family?
