I've posted information from Freda, the off list cousin, before. Here's more. Chuck On the 1870 San Joaquin County census in Dents Township, Page 18, FHC Film 545,585, there is listed at House #31/31 Clint Garrison 28 male white Farmer 6000 4000 born TN Augusta 17 female white Keeps house born MO (Augusta is Isaac's and Zelpha Jane Kenedy's daughter) (Clint & Augusta m Oct 1867) at House #32/32 is I. V. Watts 43 male white Farmer Born Ohio Elmira 32 female white Keeping house 2000 1000 Born VA Maggie 4 female white born Cal Helen 16 female white born MO Cora 14 female white born MO two males also in household Marion(?) Grainger 25 a farmer with $500 pers. prop. born Tenn James Baker 22 Miner with $2000. pers. prop. born Ill This has to be Isaac B. Watts. Wonder if we can find anything on Helen and Cora. Maggie is believed to be the daughter of Clint and Augusta. Isaac's son John Kenedy Watts was not near these two in 1870. However, he got married there in Aug 1870 and the above census record was dated 8 Jul 1870. Next time down I will check for the location of the Meekers (his first wife's name) and he may be located near them. May just have to read the whole Stanislaus census. What is frustrating is that William Watts is not there. I am running out of clues. Rufus Clark and Lucinda are not there either. John Kenedy Watts is on the 1880 census record of Tulare Co., CA. FHC Film 1254085. He is in ED 99 Page 17. He is 31 years old married, a farmer, and sick with the Fever ______(?) to the extent that he cannot carry on ordinary business. He was born in Missouri, his father born in Ohio, his mother in PA. His wife is Sarah E., she is 33, born in Ark, father born in TN, mother born in TN. He has a son named Marion. He is 9 in 1880, (born in 1871, has to be the son of his first wife), father b in Missouri, mother born in Arkansas. He has a daughter listed. Her name is Della A. and she is age 3. She was born in CA, father b in MO, mother b in AR. John Kenedy Watts is NOT on the 1900 census but Sarah E. Watts is. She is in Fresno Co., CA. FHC Film 1240086, ED 12, Sheet 14, Township 5. Sarah is in house 305. Sarah is 53, b Mar 1847, a widow who born 2 children and only 1 still living. Now she is not the mother of Marion, so she and Isaac must have had another child that did not survive. Maybe cemetery records will show something. She is engaged in Farming and she owns with a mortgage, 270 acres. Now need to check to see if John K died in Tulare or Fresno. Might be that county line changed and they were in the same spot. Anyway in her house hold is her daughter Della A. She is 23, b Jan 1877 and has been married for 2 years to Fred C Scott who is 25 born in 1875. Fred is listed as a Salesman (Pianos). They have one son Allen G. Scott born Mar 1899 in CA. Sarah's niece Sarah A. Reynolds born Jan 1884 now 16 years old is living or at least visiting her on census day. She also has a Servant named Samuel Ransom(?) age 51, divorced, living in the household. He was born in Oregon, and is listed as a Farm Laborer. Will carry this Scott on down to 1920 and see what materializes. Just might be a current generation our there that has some answers. On the Stanislaus Co., CA 1880 census, FHC Film 445465, ED 94, Sheet 3, Clinton G. Garrison is 38, born in TN with wife Augusta 25 born in MO, daughter Maggie D. age 14 b in CA and sons Wm H. age 5 and E. W. age 3 with 3 servants. (E. W. is listed as Walter E. later in life). It appears that the Maggie D listed in Isaac's household in 1870 is the daughter of Augusta and the granddaughter of Isaac B. Maggie D. must have died prior to 1893 however, as she is not listed in the obituary of Augusta, only the husband and two grown sons. I thought this very odd. In the same township in Tulare Co in 1880, on page 27 is a Cleon B. Watts, age 46 b. in KY. Isaac Watts and Sarah Almira is listed on the IGI, listing film 178045, Pg 2, Ord. # 23677, Temple Logan. Don't know if I can see this film or not. Will work on that next time. In the Ancestral File I found Elizabeth Longley b ca 1780 Baltimore, MD m. to Charles Watts. Also the records that Charles Watts b 30 Jun 1780 Baltimore, Baltimore MD chr 31 Oct 1786 at Baltimore, Baltimore MD at Gay Street and Court House Plaza Zion German Lutheran Church, that Charles is the son of Richard Watts and Elizabeth (maiden name unknown). This Richard Watts died before 15 Apr 1807 in Baltimore, MD. Besides Charles they had a son named William Watts born 15 Jun 1782 in Baltimore, MD. The only child of Charles Watts who is listed as died 1833 Muskingum Co OH and his wife Elizabeth Longley is James Watts b 23 Sep 1809 Baltimore died 14 Apr 1882 Harrison Twp, Perry Co OH m. Eliza Ann Barnett 10 Nov 1830 Perry Co., OH. The person who submitted this information is Arline R. Palmer, 2070 West Erdaway, Erda, UT 84074.
