Thomas, Let me help you out a bit on this one.. Col. James Winston Watts b. 19 Apr 1833 d. 3 Dec 1906 was the son of Richard Davis Watts and Isabella Eagen Newell. Richard Davis Watts b. 28 Dec 1793 d. 17 Jan 1848 was the son of James Watts and Elizabeth Durrett. There was a article on him (I believe a month or so ago) in the Watts On-Line newsletter. James Watts b. 21 Jan 1767 d. 7 Mar 1793 was the son of William Watts and Jane Hord. William Watts was the son of Thomas Watts b. abt 1732 (probably in Spotsylvania Co.) and died in 1749. His will was left in Culpeper but Culpeper Co. was not formed until 1749 so he lived most his adult life in Orange County. The land grant of 1728 is still in Orange Co. Thomas Watts was the son of Edward Watts. Edward also received a land grant in 1728 next to his son. There has been much written on the his family in the Watts On-Line newsletters. You can e-mail me directly for more details. Lori
