Welcome Because I will be in Southern Utah next week for the Holiday and in Southern California the following week with my husband on business there will be no newsletter again until 12/13/96. Do any of you have a history of a Watts family member? Please send it along and share it with us. Have you found anything interesting on the internet? Any good Watts reference books? Let us all know about them. ******************************************** Contents: 1. Members
Lines ******************************************** MEMBERS LINES 1. Dale 9to4@aol.com Thanks for answering the message about Sarah Watts and Joseph Cummings. I actually have more information on my Sarah Rebecca Watts. Her father was Hampton Watts and her mother was Sarah Brown. Hampton Watts father was Julius Watts. That is where I stop. I don't know Julius' s father. Julius died in South Carolina in 1850. His wife was Agnes Benson. Did Samuel have anymore sons besides Anthony? I would be interested to know that? (The following is what he submitted later) The information I have on my Watts line is as follows: Julius Watts was born c1769 and died 1850 in Sumter, SC. He married Agnes Benson. She was born c1776. Their son William Hampton Watts was born c1807 and married Sarah E. Brown c1827. She was born in 1811. Thier daughter Sarah Rebecca Watts married Joseph Tarpley Cummings. Sarah Rebecca was born Jan. 19, 1829 and Joseph was born in 1825. Their daughter Elizabeth Eugenia Cummings was born in 1858 and married my great grandfather Thomas Louis Green.Their daughter, my grandmother, Daisy Caroline Green married my grandfather Robert Duncan Jones. (yes, I am actually researching the Jones line too) I would really like to find where Julius Watts came from.. I did see a Julius Watts in the Newsletter you sent. The Descendants of Thomas Watts and Ester (Wilkins? or Stone?) John Watts and Sarah Barnett had a son Julius Watts. Maybe I will check that out. Julius might have come from the Alabama area since I have a record showing Hampton Watts being born in Alabama. Any help on this would be appreciated. 2. Edie Suttle - jsattle9@mail.idt.net I have enjoyed reading your newsletter and several items I would like to include. The Watts family had married into the Wills family. I would love to continue receiving your GREAT newsletter. Thank you so much! My line of the Watts family married into my Wills line, here is one of the lines I have. Thornton Wills b. July 1781; d. May 1864 in Clark County Kentucky. Son of Frederick William Wills and Frances Durrett. He married March 13, 1803 in Clark County Kentucky to Nancy Bruce b. April 6, 1784; d. January 23, 1869. Nancy Bruce is the daughter of Benjamin Bruce and Mildred Watts, and the grand-daughter of Rev. Jacob Watts and Elizabeth Durrett. Elizabeth Durrett is the sister of Frances, wife of Frederick Wills. I do have the children of Thornton Wills and Nancy Bruce if any one would be interested in them. Other children of Jacob Watts and Elizabeth Durrett are: Mildred Watts (would
like to find her birth, death
and marriage dates and places) David Watts (would like to find his birth, death and
marriage dates and places) 3. Vicki - Rtoddjr 209@aol.com Thanks for the great news letter! I look forward to the next one. I am including what info. I have so far on the Watts line in our family, it goes back in my husbands line. I would like to go back as far as I can and find out as much about the family as possible. I amdoing both my husbands linage and my own as something I can leave to our children and grandchildren. Our Watts line starts when Frank Willis Salisbury is b. 5/1/1890,in Talbot co.,Md. d. 6/4/1965 in Md., his mother was Elnora Watts, b. 6/4/1870 in Talbot co.,Md. d. 1/19/1959, she was married to Richard W.

Lofland b. 1844 in Del. d. 1888 in Md. sources 1870,1880,1900 US census records,sndx W320, Talbot co.Md. Tombstones,pg. 195,vol. 3, 1993 ed. Thanks again1 Vicki 4. Becky Wallace (Mrs. Robert Wallace) - SNDE92B@PRODIGY.COM My Watts start with Josiah Watts b. 1805 Va. His children: James b. 1826 m. Jane Holley b. 1825 (this is my
line) This bunch wound up in Tishamingo Co. MS My goal is to trace all my lines back to Europe. I have no desire at this point to do overseas research. Becky ******************************************** VIRGINIA WATTS I'm surveying the Moore family very early in Elizabeth County and following the apparent treck from there to Albemarle County in an effort to reach some determination of where John Moore (who bought 400 ac. from Samuel Dalton) came from. If I run across any others, I send them along. Your Watts family seems to be following the same migration. They were fairly near neighbors of John Moore who lived on Poquoson River in Eliz. City Co. The next place I find a group of Moores is in New Kent on the opposite side of the River from the Watts shown here; then a little later on the Chickahominy in Henrico. I'm only up to about 1720 at this point. Looks like the Watts/Moore 'alliance' lasted from early Jamestown days. John Moore of Poquoson arrived at Jamestown in 1619 and his wife Elizabeth a few years later. Joyce (Joyce currently edits a Moore Family newsletter.
