I had several messages regarding no newsletter last
week. I'm glad so many of you missed it! The newsletter is a
bi-monthy newsletter and sent out on the first and third Friday of each
month. August had a fifth week. If you ever do not receive a
newsletter and you think you should have gotten it please feel free to
e-mail me. I get returned mail each time. As the mailing list
grows I find myself with many, many messages to sort through. Here
are a few things that you could do to help me out.
1. If you send anything in an attached file please be sure your name
is on the attached document. I seem to be getting the downloaded
files and e-mail messages that come with them mixed up.
2. When you message me, be sure the name Watts is somewhere in the
subject line. I delete many messages before I even read them to get
rid of the junk mail. I would hate to delete anything of
importance....your message. Thanks again for the wonderful contributions
...keep them coming!
Lori

Answer: I do not have any information on this family myself.
Maybe someone out there can help? Lori
Question: lcrawfor@mail.orion.org
(Linda L. Crawford)
Since it has been awhile I will post this again.
Who was the Arenna Watts on the 1860 census of Dallas Co MO? She was in
the home of Maclain and Nancy Southard. She was 8 years old,born in KY. I
have nothing else at all on her. Maclain had a daughter Susan who married
a Rice and I wonder if Watts is really Rice. Arenna may not be correct.
Thank you
Question: When you have time--I would like to know
more about the Jacob WATTS line that you found in MD. Jacob WATTS
born 17 March 1779 perhaps in MD. You quoted from Heineman's
"Watts Families....".
Was there more information about Jacob or his
wife, Polly HINTON? Their parents or siblings? What sources
did he use for the information. Is this author's work available?
While I have some of the information about Jacob
and Polly's five children, any further details would be
welcome. No big rush.
Maybe an inquiry in the newsletter about descendants of Jacob and Polly
and those five sons would generate some postings about these KY WATTS.
Lots of the WATTS seem to be from NC, GA, etc.
Thanks--
Judy Lloyd
BaxLlo@aol.com
Answer: I check the book "Watts Families Descended from Early
Emigrants who Settled in the Tidewater Counties of Virginia" by
Charles Heineman. 1940 as you requested. This book is available at
the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. and the Family History Library
in Salt Lake City. I have a copy myself and would be happy to
provide information. I know a few others of you out there have a
copy and if you are willing to do "look-ups" please let us know.
Thanks.
Jacob Watts, b. 17 Mar 1779 and d. 17 dec 1862. He is thought to
have been from Maryland and was in Shelby County, KY where he married
Polly Hinton on July 18, 1804. She was born in 1781 and died in
1815. They are both buried at Pigeon Fork, Shelby Co., KY>
Children:
Wesley G. Watts - d. 1886
Greenberry Watts
Greenup Watts
Jerry Watts
W. Hinton Watts
The book does not have any information on the parents of Jacob Watts and
Polly Hinton but I do have information on their descendants. Let me
know if anyone is interested. Lori
Question: colt2@juno.com
(GAIL L COLLINS)
I'm actually looking for Thomas Watts ancestors and found the Marriage of
Thomas Watts and Susannah Taylor Oct. 12,1756 (Parish of St.Thomas &
St. Denis)
Does anyone know who Thomas Watts was married to? Others I found are Jacob
Watts & Elinor Stocks (widow) Aug.19,1735 (Christ Church Parish)
John Watts & Joppe Stuard April 8,1745 (St. Phillip's Parish)
Robt Watts & Jane Ferguson Nov.21,1765 (Hayne Records)
I also found a Thomas Watts 5'6" age 33 England
Saddletreemaker, rode with Captain William Cock's Rangers in Oct.21,1755.
These are all South Carolina records.
Does anyone know what an England Saddletreemaker is ? I also wonder if
these are the same Thomas Watts?
Any input is welcomed.
Gail Collins
Answer: I have a Susannah Tayor who married a James Watts.
James was born Jan 6, 1718 in Middlesex Co., VA and died in South
Carolina. He married Susannah in Virginia. They were also
living in Hanover Co., VA before they removed to South Carolina.
If this could be the family you are looking for let me know. I see
no son's named Thomas. Lori
Question: Gargatha@aol.com
The Watts part of my family is not really watts, what I have is a Mrs Mary
Watts that married my ancester as here second husband, I have been
watching our list of watts and have not seen much come through on the
Watts family of talbot and dorchester co. MD. any hints as to what i
should do?
Her info is as follows:
Mrs mary watts Born about 1720 in either Talbot or Dorchester Co. MD
Married about 1744, probably Talbot Co. MD to James Delahay JR as her
second husband , no info on the first husband other than his name was
WATTS, died 1762, Talbot co, MD as her account was recorded in Talbot Co.
that year, I have not gotten a copy of her will or account for that
matter, her account was lib, 48,. folio 311.
I hope you have something on this family as I am stuck.

Lori, thought you might like to throw this in!
Who's Calling
"Who's calling?" was the answer to the telephone.
"Watt."
"What is your name, please?"
"Watt's my name."
"That's what I asked you. What's your name?"
"That's what I told you. Watt's my name."
A long pause, and then, from Watt, "Is this James Brown?"
"No, this is Knott."
"Please, tell me your name."
"Will Knott."
Whereupon they both hung up.
Came across this in 10,000 Jokes, Toasts & Stories from the
library. Since I can't get anywhere on my Fanny Watts, might as well
laugh about Watts! later, betty b.
