The Watts On-line
Issue No. 70
January 4, 2000


     The first letter of the new year is packed full.  I was not able to include all the information sent to me so t will have to wait until next month.   My hope for this year is for everyone to find a connection and add new cousins to their family tree.  If we all continue to contribute to the newsletter this just may happen.  Happy New Year to each of you!

Hi,

My name is Virginia Caudill, and my connection with the Watts family is through my gggrandmother Elizabeth Watts of Perry Co., Kentucky.  I have no information at all on her family, and the only things that I know about her is that she was Cherokee and from Tennesse.  She married my gggrandfather Thomas Cody (Coody) of Perry Co., Kentucky.  Her children called her "I-Doe-See".  Thank you.

There were some family stories about Watts people who came from England in the 1600's or so, who were pirates and had some dealings in the Caribbean, and who had come here to avoid execution.  Also, some about Amer. Indian heritage, but nothing definite, and not sure that was Watts or a wife,or just a story.  My granddad was a storyteller. 

Does it look like we connect up in the Watts line? I imagine lots of the Watts people are related if we have been in this country for as long as I have been told. 

Thank you for  helping me with the info. on the Whitehouse/Tharp marriage.

THOMAS WATTS AND LYDIA BOWEN BIBLE RECORDS 

This is information I found in a Bible dated 1874 that once belonged to a family with the name of Bowen.  Copies of the Bible leafs were made and donated to the VA Historical Society by a Mr. William E. Trout in 1981.  I contacted Mr. Trout in May of 1997 and was told that he does a lot of historical research, and in his findings was the Bible mentioned above.  He has no other information to give - he has no idea where he came across it. As he may have had it for some time, before realizing that it had information he should give to the VA H.S.

This is the information found written in the Bible:

John Watts and Sarah Bowen Watts are the parents of Thomas Watts.  Nathan Bowen and Mary Sollars (not sure of the spelling) Bowen are the parents of Lydia Bowen.

Thomas and Lydia Bowen Watts are the parents of:

1.  Dixon B.                       July 27, 1784

2.  Clarissa H.                   Oct. 28, 1786

3.  Sabritt (sp?) W.           May 17, 1789

4.  Thomas B.                   Dec. 25, 1791

5.  Charles H.                    Feb. 17, 1794

6.  Nelson R.                     April 17, 1796

7.  John W.                       May 8, 1798

8.  Mary S.                       May 1, 1800

9.  Nathan B.                    July 31, 1892

10. Sarah B.                     July 5, 1806 

Could this be one or more of the Thomas Watts you are speaking of?

ANDERSONVILLE PRISONERS WITH THE WATTS SURNAME 

A Code No. has been assigned to each prisoner in the database the first digit of the code number provides some information.
