Hi I have some information that maybe we are looking at the same family, see my note below in the message. Also there is a large write up in the books on the Valentine Papers on the Watts family and Winston family. The Winston name was picked by Ellis families, Watts, and Overton which all my lines that connect to My Ellis line. Anyone else find this information also.
