Thank you, Barbara Costales From: BJFRISBY@aol.com Lori, Thanks for the back issues of the Watts news letters. I have briefly skimmed through all of them 1-59 and have not found any info on my line. I was waiting to send my info in to see if I could provide a little more background. But this is all I have so far: Enoch Chesley Watts b. on the Santee River hear Columbia, SC in 1847. Mother and Father were also b. in SC or NC. I found Enoch on the 1870 and 1880 Giles Co., TN census along with Joseph L Watts and Allen Watts. Family lore was that they were twins.

Olita Watts I would like to find out who were Enoch's parents and also am seeking info on the Redwines. Would appreciate any info. Can provide more info on the children of Robert and Belle Watts. If any one is interested. Thanks Barbara Frisby from CA. From: Sherrel2@aol.com This is my WATTS connection. Margaret WATTS was my gggrandmother, married to George HARLAND. Margaret's father was Henry WATTS and I don't any information on any of them except that Henry came from a long line of preachers and musicians. I naturally thought immediately of Isaac WATTS, the famous church composer but have been informed that he never married and had no children. Margaret WATTS and George HARLAND had a daughter Mary Isobel HARLAND b, 1845 d. Apr. 13, 1919 Wichita, KS, IL, m. Edwin Brooks RALL Mar. 30, 1865Table Grove, IL. He was born May 2, 1838 Macomb IL and died Oct. 27, 1929 Wichita, KS. One of E.B. RALL and Mary Isabel HARLAND's children was my grandmother Miram Anna RALL, b. Mar. 21, 1874 in Hiattville, KS, d. Mar. 20, 1966 in La Mirada, CA. She married William Edgar SNYDER, b. 1869 in Bement, IL, died 1936 in Wichita, KS. My Mother, June, is the youngest child of this union. I hope someone there recognizes these names and can help me get more information on Margaret WATTS and George HARLAND. Thanks so much, Sherrel2 From: richard.watts3@gte.net (richard440 watts) I'm looking for a Henery (Henry) Watts who was in JACKSON COUNTY,GA census 1820. I know they were in SC in 1797 because a daughter Jane Watts Landrum showed listed that date on the 1850 census.I've established the line from Henry to now, but I've had a hard time going back mainly because of record access. My line is Henry>>>Sugar Johnson Henry Johnson>>>Henry Lee>>>Richard Lee>>>Ricky Lee. They moved from Jackson county to Fayette Co. when he drew 202 acres. He died in Fayette Co 1827. Sugar Johnson was the youngest son and he moved to Texas (Vanzandt co) in 1854 and buried in New Harmony cem. BenWheeler, Tx. Henry Johnson made the run in Oklahoma 1889 but didn't get any and he settled in Indian Territory and he died in 1925. My dad was born at Benwheeler 1878 and moved with the family to Stratford, OK I was born 1934 and I now live in Guthrie, Ok. Sugar had two brothers, Alfred Mills Watts, his mother was a Annis (Mills) Watts, Robert B. and several daughters. If you have any information or need more please contact me, richard.watts3@gte.net Thanks Richard Watts ******************************************** QUERIES Subj: Re: Watts' On-Line Issue #59 (Query 2) From: devodave@jps.net (Dave Eaton) Hi Marilyn and WATTS On-Line, In reply to WATTS' ON-LINE Issue #59 February 6, 1999... I have this information about your part of the GreenbrierCo,VA -> GalliaCo,OH WATTS family line: 1 WATTS David, born ABT 1725 in Scotland. + /???/. 2 WATTS James, born 1753 in MD, died 30 Nov 1810 in 3 GreenbrierCo,VA. 4 Apr 1795: James Watts exempt from taxes because of old age and infirmities. A Mary Watt of St.Mary'sCo,MD died 11/3/1764 had daugter Rebecca. This Rebecca has 4 children: Thomas Dillon, Daniel Watts, Elis. Watts, James. Could this Rebecca have married our David Watts?. Family history says James Watt (1736-1819) is a relative. (This James Watt relative invented the steam engine.). Will witnessed by Aaron Burr, Andrew Ludington, and William Renick. Buried at Frankford Meth. Church, GreenbrierCo,VA. + PERKINS Mary, born ABT 1753 in MD. There was a neighbor Andrew Perkins--her father?. 1835: Perkins in RacoonTwp,GalliaCo,OH tax list: Andrew, Henry, Jeremiah M., John. Married ABT 1775. She was the daughter of James Perkins [so says Jim Herriman aka SOBEAR2@aol.com]. 3 WATTS Salathiel Weeks, born 5 Jan 1793 in GreenbrierCo,VA. Minister. + BURR Mary (Polly), born 1799. Married 1818 in GreenbrierCo,VA. 4 WATTS Wesley Clark, born 27 Aug 1837 in GreenbrierCo,VA. 1870: GreenbrierCo,VA census. + BELL Emaline, born 1840. Married 29 Aug 1862 in Greenbrier, WV [IGI]. 5 WATTS Eliza V., born ABT 1863 in GreenbrierCo,VA. 5 WATTS Ellen M., born ABT 1871 in Greenbrier, WV. 5 WATTS Oliver A., born 14 May 1874 in Greenbrier, WV. 5 WATTS Julia Ann, born ABT 1867 in Greenbrier, WV. We who are researching this family have not found any connections to the WATTS families in the southern states or in KY and TN. This family probably followed the Appalatians from MD to Greenbrier County and probably are not connected with other Virginia WATTS families, but let me know if you see any connection. We are most stumped about this family in Maryland around the mid 1700s. Any ideas?

Because I already had much of this line in my notes I just added where certain items were missing. There is a discrepency in the children of Frances Watts and Isreal Jenkins. I had two extra children. They are Elijah and Columbus. I'm not sure where these children came from. If anyone else has these children and can document them please let us know. Patricia has more on the descendants of Varvil family. I would also like information on the father of John Watts, who's name was John also. I do not have a wife for him. Does anyone have this family documented? Lori Descendants of John Watts Generation No. 1 1. JOHN6 WATTS (JOHN5, DAVID4, EDWARD3, EDWARD2, CORNELIUS1)1 was born Abt. 1765, and died 1828 in Clark Co.

First I commend my soul to go and my body to the earth to a Christian burial and as to the property which I possess I desire that all my just debts be paid and the remainder to be disposed of as follows: To-wit: To Elizabeth my beloved wife, I lend the tract of which I live on with its appurtenances with all of my other property except so much as shall be sold to pay my debts, to remain in her possession during her natural life and after her decease to be sold at one year credit and the money arising from the sale to be divided in the following manner: To my son Abel $50.00; to my son George $50.00; to my daughter Polly Bishop, $50.00; to my son Benjamin B. an Augustine, $100.00; to my daughters, Fanny Jenkins $50.00; Jane Elliot, $50.00 and the following children, namely; Richard Mahala, John , William, $100.00 to each and if any should remain to be equally divided between all my children; namely, Nancy Groom, Abel Watts, George Watts, Benjamin Watts, Polly Bishop, Augustine Watts, Fanny Jenkins, Richard Watts, Jane Elliott, William Watts, Mahala Watts, and John Watts. I Moreover appoint Thomas Potts and Richard Bivins my executors of this. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 3rd day of June, 1828.

ABEL ABRAM7 WATTS (JOHN6, JOHN5, DAVID4, EDWARD3, EDWARD2, CORNELIUS1)3 was born Abt. 1794, and died 1840. He married SARAH DANIEL 15 Jun 1815 in Clark Co. KY. Notes for ABEL ABRAM WATTS: Abel Watts, frequently referred to as Abram and Abraham Watts, was born some time in 1790 according to Census figures used in computing his age. When he married Sarah, she was a minor as her father gave his consent to the marriage. Able Watts died intestate in Clark Co. KY in 1840. The census shows him living in Montgomery Co. KY in 1820, next to his father-in-law Beverly Daniel. At that time he only had two children, boys under ten years of age. There he is named as Abraham. In 1830 he is back in Clark Co. an named Abel. This accounts for the reason of his name commonly being called "Abe" by his relatives. Heineman #1600 pa. 166 Notes for SARAH DANIEL: After the death of Able, Sarah married Robert A. Campbell and they signed a prenupital agreement to the effect that the property owned by each should be retained by each. He died six months after the marriage.

WATTS: With his bride he moved from Kentucky in 1825, going horseback over land and following Augustus Cave Davis to the Boone Lick settlement in Howard Co. Missouri. After his wife, Patsy died he married Eveline Boone. From a grandchild in Texas we learn that after he moved to Missouri he engaged in the mule business trading throughtout the South, and particularly in New Orleans. He amensed quite a fortune. From his biography on Pa. 1727 in the History of Northeast Missouri, he is described as a man of fine physique weighing around 230 pounds and higly esteemed in the neighborhood.

When I was in VA a few years back, doing research, I obtained a lot of information, thinking it as my WATTS line. Even though it is not my line, I thought I should start sending you some for the Newsletter. It may be of help to some WATTS researcher, hopefully. I will send more next month. I just want to say a "BIG THANK YOU" to you for your time and interest in your WATTS on-Line. I have obtained Several Items of information from those who have contributed. I really appreciate everyone's help. Barbara Van Camp - a WATTS in AZ (more on this family coming in issue #61) Thomas WATTS - John Hook and Robert Cowan Tories and Patriots (from "The Virginia Genealogist" page 218 - Vol. 18) John Hook, Robert Cowan and Thomas WATTS had been Tories during the Revolution and were three of the leaders of the Tory Conspiracy in Bedford County in 1780. The leaders were apprehended, but instead of being jailed and tried in New London (the old county seat of Bedford, now called Bedford Springs), where many of the Tories lived. They were taken to Col. Charles Lynch's home near the junction of the Staunton and Otter rivers, twenty miles from New London. The summary punishments, principally floggings, dispensed by Col. Lynch gave rise to the expression "Lynch law." It is strange that all three of these Tories had connections with the Keys, who were patriots. Robert Cowan was surety for George Key in his marriage to Sucky Craighead. Thomas WATTS lived in Bedford County, south of the Staunton River, as early as 1779; co-witnessed (with Joseph Key and John Waller Key) a 1783 deed whereby John Key bought 440 acres in Bedford County; and sold 230 acres in Bedford County to John Hook in 1784. John Hook originally operated a mercantile establishment at New London with a partner named Ross, but upon the creation of Franklin County in 1786, he took up residence in the new county, operating a store at Hale's Ford, about a mile from the Staunton River. His name frequently appears as a litigant in Bedford and Franklin County records. In Hook vs. Venable, known as the "Beef Case," Patrick Henry, counsel for the defendant, castigated Hook unmercifully for his profiteering during the Revolution, much to the amusement of the court.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints posted a statement about the plan on its official Web site, www.lds.org, on Friday. One leader last year said the Church has archived the names of 13 billion people from 110 countries. The Church said it is posting the information as a service that will greatly enhance the way people trace their family history. A formal announcement is expected. ******************************************** Watts' On-Line: Compiled from e-mail and other sources Distributed by Lori Watts Linnell lwlinnell@aol.com
