Thank you Lori for including me in
your Watts researchers.
I am connected to the Watts Family by way of my g grandmother's first
husband. Artemisa Freeland
(b.~1836-7 Lumpkin Co GA) married before 1860, William (A.?) Watts
(b.1840 Macon Co NC) most
likely in or around Ducktown, Polk Co TN, where she lived with her
family. A younger sister of hers, Cynthia M. Freeland, married the
younger brother of William's, Daniel Columbus Renaugh Watts. William
died in the Civil War leaving two children, Joseph Howell Watts (b.1860-
d.after 1920) and Josephine Watts (b.~1862-??).
Artemisa's second marriage was to William L. Sutton (b.1840
GA) sometime after the Civil War ended.
In 1880, the family was in MS (minus Joseph and Josephine Watts).
Josephine had either married or died, probably the latter as her
mother stated in 1900 that four of her eight children had not survived.
Joseph H. Watts joined the family in Tom Green Co TX (1900) as a
widower and remained with the family until the death of his mother and
stepfather, as far as the
records show.
I am working with a descendant of
Daniel C.R. Watts to find out who his and brother William's
parents were. This is the Watts family history as given to me by
my Watts relative:
Joseph Watts (father of William and
Daniel) was born in NC 1805-1808. He m. sometime before 1830, Nancy
Charlotte Llewellyn McIntire Moss, married first to and presumed
to be the widow of James Moss, with one small son, Llewellyn (Lewallen)
Moss. Llewellyn went
by the name Llewellyn Moss Watts, and his marriage is recorded as
such in Gilmer Co GA (1845). From
that time on he was called Lewallen Moss, and his descendants settled in
AR and today are found in Oklahoma City, OK.
Joseph Watts was first recorded in
the Cherokee Nation in GA in 1830. He was also recorded there in 1831.
In 1834, he was recorded in NC where several children were born,
and he was listed on a Poll List of voters in Macon Co NC in 1835 and
carried on a farming business called Deal and Watts. They raised field
crops - corn and hay. Land records in Macon Co state he sold 80 acres on
Little Tennessee River in 1839. From
there he was next found in Cherokee Co NC.
By 1845, Joseph moved permanently to
GA where stepson, Llewellyn Moss m. Eliza Milsaps in Gilmer Co.
In 1850 Joseph and Nancy Watts lived in Morganton, Union Co.
No facts are known of the Civil War period.
By 1870 they were in TN, son Daniel in Polk Co and Joseph and
Nancy in Morgan Co. (1870 census). Both are gone from records after
1870/1880. Chidlren of Joseph and Nancy McIntire Moss Watts:
1. Mary Ann

We have not been able to find the
parents of Joseph Watts of this family.
He may or may not be related to
Levi and John Watts who were in the same area - Macon and
Cherokee counties in NC and later,
Levi in Lumpkin Co GA.
With high hopes,

BURIAL SITE OF JAMES WATTS
From:
fstroupe@ebicom.net (Frank Stroupe)
For any of you descended from James
Josiah Watts (1836-1932, son of John Watts, grandson of John Evans
Watts) and would like to visit the burial site of him and his wife Mary
Margaret Simmons, they are buried at the Byhala Chapel Cemetary, in
southeastern Copiah County, Mississippi.
The church, built in the 1860's, has not been used for 40-50
years, has never been wired for lights, but has been restored and in
very good condition. (It is
not open to the public, write to the address below if you desire to
enter it, I'm sure they will arrange something) The cemetary is well
kept, and is in excellent condition.
The church is located a few miles
west of Oma, MS, which is on MS Hwy 27, between Crystal Springs and
Monticello, about 45 miles south of Jackson, in a tiny community called
Tryus. Take the only paved
road heading west out of Oma. The church is about three miles(guessing),
on the left. It is off of
the road in a curve, and fairly easy to miss, though there is a small
sign. Memorize these directions or carry them with you, because I
promise, no one in the entire county knows where the church is, even the
sheriff's dept. The story of how I found it the first time is one of
those great ancestor hunting stories that most of us have at least one
of.
For anyone interested, the Byhala
Chapel Cemetary Association takes care of all upkeep of the cemetary.
Membership is a yearly donation of 10.00, and the association
meets at the chapel every year on the third Sunday of April.
Donations and more information can be found by writing Byhala Chapel
Cemetary Association, 364 Arm Rd, Silver Creek, MS
39663. I was too
late for the only annual meeting I tried to attend, but did make it
before everyone left, and did get to enter the church.
A wonderful experience if you are into that
sort of thing.
If you are descended from JJ Watts,
please email me at fstroupe@ebicom.net
I would love to hear from you, as I have never met one of his
descendents that I am not directly related to, and, of course, none of
them could care less about him or any other ancestor. (sorry for
venting)

RABUN COUNTY WATTS
From:
pmcgee72@gte.net (Paula McGee)
Hi Lori!
The Rabun Co. Watts are my Cherokees coming from Chief John
Watts. I also have Monteen's book, she does not admit to being
Cherokee. I believe most of
the people in Rabun are Cherokee and they moved there and lived as
whites so that they would not have to go to Arkansas or Oklahoma.
I have a Cherokee friend here in California and she has family in
Rabun named Woodard.

…Among
the pioneer families who came to Fayette County a hundred years ago,
when it was an unbroken wilderness, and Central Kentucky was the haunt
of
wild beasts, and the hunting ground of prowling savages, was the Watts
family, who settled in what is now Athens Precinct, and where
descendants
still live.
David
Watts, the patriarch of the family, was of Virginia stock, and was
among
the first of those hardy pioneers to cross the Alleghenies, and in
the beautiful land lying beyond their lofty peaks, hew out a home for
themselves and families.
He
was born in the State of Virginia, in 1761, where he grew to manhood,
and married Ruth Twyman, and emigrated to Kentucky about the year 1780.
Upon
his arrival, he settled in the present County of Fayette, upon land
that has ever since remained in possession of his descendants, and upon
which he died in 1835.

Clark County
AUDLEY
HAGGARD. In Clark County
members of the Haggard family have been prominent in agriculture and
other affairs for several generations.
The home of Audley Haggard seven miles south of Winchester stands
on the highest elevation in the county, with a wide range of view, the
lights of the City of Richmond, county seat of Madison County, being
within vision at night. This
farm was once owned by David Haggard, grandfather of Frank Haggard, the
attorney.
Henry Rider Haggard, the distinguished
English novelist (who claims "kin" with the Haggards of Clark
County) is authority for the statement that the Haggard family are
descended from Andrew Ogard of Denmark, who settled in County Norfolk,
England, in the year 1433, was naturalized there, and was knighted by
King Henry VII. Though they
have made no effort to trace the connection the Haggards of Clark County
are certainly descended from this Sir Andrew Ogard, whose name was
anglicized into Haggard.
So far as is known the first Haggard to
come to America was James Haggard, who had been educated for the
Episcopal ministry in England, and came to Norfolk, Virginia, in 1698,
being then not yet twenty-one years old.
He taught school in Norfolk for years and eventually married one
of his pupils, whose name has not descended.
They had four sons, Nathaniel, Edmund, Zachary and Gray.
It is only with Nathaniel that this sketch has to do.
Nathaniel Haggard was born November 21,
1723, and married Elizabeth Gentry.
They settled in Albemarle County, Virginia, and in 1788 they went
to Kentucky, settling three miles south of where Winchester now stands
and where George W. Haggard now lives, in the same house, which is
undoubtedly the oldest building of any kind in the county.
Nathaniel Haggard died August 21, 1820, at the ripe age of
ninety-seven years. He
raised a family of seven sons and three daughters.
All of his children were born in Virginia, and some of them never
settled in Clark County. Those
of them who did were : (1) John Haggard, born in 1754, married Mary
Shepherd. They settled
about eight miles south of Winchester, and raised
four sons and four daughters - Pleasant, who married a Miss Watts;
Martin, who married Sallie Hampton; John, who married Rhoda Quisenberry,
daughter of Rev. James Quisenberry; David T., who married Patsey Adams;
Polly who married Minor Winn; Elizabeth, who married Joel Quisenberry,
son of Rev. James Quisenberry; Sallie who married Jessie Hampton; and
Nancy, who married David Reed.
David T. Haggard was the father of Judge Augustine I. Haggard and
grandfather of Judge Rodney Haggard.
(2) Rev. James Haggard (Baptist minister) born 1759, married
Betsey Gentry, in 1790 settled in Clark County, but in 1816 removed to
Christian County, Kentucky. (3)
Bartlett Haggard, born in 1763 married
Martha Dawson, and in 1788 they settled in Clark County,
Kentucky. They had two
sons, Martin who married Elizabeth Dane, and Allen Dawson, who married
Frances Haggard, daughter of Pleasant Haggard. (4) David Haggard, born
in 1763, married Nancy Dawson, and in 1792 they settled in Clark County,
Kentucky, but in 1823 they removed to Trigg County, Kentucky, and in
1836 to Bloomington, Illinois. Their
daughter, Martha Haggard, was born in Clark County in 1795, and married
John Routt, of the
same county, and they went to Illinois. Their
son, John L. Routt, was several times governor of Colorado.
Bartlett and David Haggard were twins and married sisters (5)
Nathan Haggard great-grandfather of Audley Haggard born in 1765, married
Elizabeth Hayes, and they settled in Clark County in 1788.
They had four sons and three daughters, as follows:
Martin, William, John, David, Polly (who married Spencer
Holloway), Nancy (who married James Hanson) and Eliza (who married
Dennis Doyle.)
This family were all Baptists and most of
them were members of Providence Church at "the old stone meeting
house."
At one time there were three David Haggards in Clark County, all
first cousins. One of them
was David, the grandfather of Audley Haggard.
He was born July 28, 1812, and died December 14, 1880.
His home was three miles southwest of Winchester, at the present
Jeff Tevis farm, and he spent his last days there and was buried at
Smithfield. His wife was
Temperance Hodgkin, born December 28, 1811, and died April 28, 1883.
Of David and Temperance Haggard the children were: James P., who
[is] in Shelby County; Samuel of Arkansas; Charles P. of Winchester;
Mildred, a twin sister of Charles P., who married Doctor Morris and
lived at Sulphur, Kentucky; Betty, who died in Henry County, the wife of
Paschal Maddox; and Barbara, who married John Austin and is deceased.
Charles P. Haggard, father of Audley Haggard, married for his
first wife, Edith Elkin, daughter of Enoch and Ann Polly (Quisenberry)
Elkin. Her mother was a daughter of Roger Quisenberry, who was born
November 23, 1792, and died March 29, 1877, while his wife, Polly, was
born October 10, 1795, and died January 30, 1866.
The old home of Enoch Elkin is now owned by Joe Carroll of the
Boonesboro Pike. A brother
of Edith Elkin was Doctor Elkin, who died at Louisville.
None of the Elkins remain in Clark County.
Enoch Elkin, born January 30, 1803, died at the age of sixty-one,
on July 12, 1864. His first
wife Ann P. Quisenberry,
was born April 24, 1814, and died January 8, 1878.
They were married February 17, 1831.
The Elkins were one of the very wealthy families of the county,
and Enoch Elkin was a prominent dealer in mules for many years.
Edith Elkin died four years after her marriage, leaving two sons,
Audley and Morris. The
latter is a farmer and merchant at Somerset, Kentucky.
Both these sons were reared by their stepmother, who was one of
the very best of women and a real mother to them.
Charles P. Haggard soon after his marriage moved to Monroe
County, Missouri, where his wife died.
He then returned and became a partner of
Sam
P. Hodgkin. About 1902 he
bought the farm now owned by his son Audley.
This farm had been given by another David Haggard to his daughter
Frankie, who married Nathan Lipscomb.
Mrs. Lipscomb's daughter, Nannie May Lispscomb, became the second
wife of Charles P. Haggard. At
the death of Mrs. Lipscomb the farm was sold to Charles P. Haggard, his
wife having an interest in it. After
three years of residence on the farm Charles P. Haggard moved to
Winchester, where his wife died the same year.
At that time Charles bought out the grocery business of his son
Morris at Winchester, and is still one of the active merchants of that
city.
Audley Haggard's chief farm comprises a
splendid property in the Blue Grass section, and he also owns a half
interest in the adjoining farm.
On November 14, 1906, Audley Haggard married Sudie Ecton, a
daughter of Woody and Mollie (Allan) Ecton.
The children of Audley Haggard
and wife are Morris Allan, Marion Elkin and Audley, Jr.
Mr. Haggard
is an active member and a deacon of the Mount Olive Baptist Church.

WILLIAM
D. and GARRETT WATTS, farmers and stock-raisers, P. O. Chilesburg.
His
(David’s) son, Garrett Watts, continued upon the farm his father
settled, and, under his management, it was much improved and increased
in acreage.
He
was born in 1796, and when grown was married to Martha Twyman; he died
in 1873, at the age of seventy-seven years.
A
son, David T. Watts, who had charge of the farm during his life, was
born April 11, 1831, and married to Tilitha Quisenberry, November
15,1849.
She
was the daughter of Joel and Elizabeth (Haggard) Quisenberry, who were
natives of Virginia, and settled in Clark County, where they died.
David
D. Watts died in 1854, leaving two sons, who, with their mother, still
occupy the homestead, settled by the original David Watts a century ago.
These
sons (the subjects of this sketch); William D. and Garrett Watts, are
the fourth generation who have occupied this farm, which now embraces
about fourteen hundred acres of land.
Its
magnitude and highly improved condition, show conclusively that it has
lost nothing in passing through so many hands, but is one of the most
valuable stock farms in Fayette County.
They
make a specialty of fine stock, principally of cattle and sheep.
Their
Short-Horns are among the finest cattle in this region, and their
South-downs and Cotswold sheep are well known throughout the country.
William
D. Watts was married February 10, 1880, to Miss Ella Chenault, daughter
of Waller and Tilitha Chenault, natives of Madison County.
They
have one child, a daughter, Tilitha.
These
young men are upright and honorable citizens, highly respected in the
community in which they live, and are exemplary members of the Baptist
Church, as was their father, grandfather, and great-grandfather before
them.
To
say more of them would be superfluous.
