Dear Colynnmorris, I have recently been tracing my family tree & think we may have a very direct connection. My maiden is Morris & I see you are tracing that line which I'm sure you know can get very confusing. But I also see that you are tracing a watson line. My grandmother is Ruby Christine Watson & her fathers name was Ruben. I think we may have a connection on both sides & am very excited to find you. I hope to hear from you soon.

Watsons of Longdon Staffordshire in the 1901 and 1911 census

jofitzhenry — 2012-05-08 19:21:19Z

I'm helping a friend search for the origins of his grandfather William Watson (WW).
We know that by the time WW was married to Eleanor Clark in Paddington London in 1925, he was already estranged from his parents and siblings. He was never known to make contact with them again during his lifetime.
We think that WW was born in Staffordshire around 1893 or 94 and may have served in the Great War in one of the Staffs regiments.
We have found the family of a Thomas and Eliza Watson who have a son William who fits the bill, but have no way of making or disproving the connection. The family of Thomas and Eliza lived at 35 St John Street, Longdon in the 1901 census and at 62 Meir Hay Road, Longdon in the 1911 census.
There were the following children (all dates approximate): Elizabeth (born approx 1884), John J (1889), Sarah (1891), William himself (1894) Eliza (1897) George (1904) Thomas (1905) Levy (1907) and Lilly (1909) plus another 4 died in infancy.
If anyone is descended from this family or knows of them, especially what happened to this William, we would be very grateful to confirm or disprove whether this is OUR William.
Thanks
Jo

Re: John D. Watson came to Hawaii after 1825

BCAIII — 2012-05-06 05:29:08Z

Thomas Watson is my Great Grand Uncle, b. 1854, d. 1933. married Louisa Napoe about 1877. She was born in 1857, died between 1930-1933. They had at least 13 children, only 8 living by the 1910 census.

I have no record of a Peter Watson, Son of Thomas Watson and Louisa Napoe, could you list some dates and sources or further information on your family line to confirm you are from the Watson-Kawahalepo line.

pizzo21 — 2012-04-29 19:44:37Z

Nancy J. Herrington is on the 1900 Craighead Co. AR census living with her brother, James W. Herrington. She married T. L. Watson on March 1, 1901. Census records for 1910 and 1920 for that county show she was widowed with two sons, Ernest and William, and was still living with her brother, James. The 1930 Census shows them living in Los Angeles Co. CA. Nancy and James were siblings of my Grandmother Vina (Herrington) Henson of Craighead Co. AR. I am interested to know what happened to them after 1930 and if there are any descendants of Ernest and William Watson. James W. Herrington never married.

Hi,
My name is Ella Inez Godwin Tharpe. I have been searching for anyone that has any information on my greatgrandfather Jimmy Watson. It could be James. All I know is he was married to Narcisssa Jane Willoughby/Wilaby/Willaby in 1875. They had twin daughters Lou Ella and Ada Leola born in 1975. I have been told he died in a logging accident when the twins were only months old.
I appreciate any help with this research.
Thanks,

Barbara Watson

I'm trying to find the parents of Barbara Watson, born about 1780 probably in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. She married Peter Roeder Dunkle and is the mother of Peter Watson Dunkle born 25 Dec. 1807. I believe she may have died in childbirth.

I have census records showing a James, John, Moses, Robert, and Thomas Watson that were living in the Franklin area around that time, but am having difficulty finding the names of their children.

Does anyone have information that may help?

Thanks

Re: WATSON, Nathaniel

sammysimmons00 — 2012-04-10 04:24:24Z

Dianne I believe this is the same Nathaniel(1740-1835) we have been talking about. I have the pension application and have tried to trace everything I can. I have Nathaniel also as being born in Appromattox River, Va. He states that at about four years old he moved to N. C. with his family. Then he says he went to Ga. later on and then back to Tenn. where he either lived with or close to his daughter and her husband when he died. He seemed to travel between N.C., S.C. Ga. Tenn and back and forth all his life before settling in Tenn. His daughter was married to a John Harris but I cannot find what her name was. I have four of his childrens names. Do you have th other three? Sammy
Email: ssimmons@panhandle.rr.com
The other Nathaniel from Connecticut I do not believe is any of our line of Watsons.

Re: WATSON, Nathaniel

kerr972 — 2012-04-09 17:39:35Z

Sammy - I found a pension application on a Nathaniel born around 1725-1730 in Appomatox, Va. He said he had seven children and was living in Tennessee when he died. He didn't sound like the same one. What do you think?

I also found a Nathaniel born around the same time frame but from Connecticut on a DAR application. Showed his wife's name to be Nancy.

I'd love to have your feedback. Dianne

I'm helping my Grandson with his family tree. We are trying to find the above named relative. Born in Chatham Kent 28th February 1880. He joined the army aged 14 in 1894 having been at a military school in Ireland from the age of 9.
He left the army in 1909, I think in Ireland.

We would be grateful for any help in tracing him.

John William Watson/Gordon 1882-1940

valeriebgonzalez — 2012-03-29 15:08:09Z

I am looking for some information and possibly a picture of John William Gordon (changed his last name from Watson to Gordon) 1882-1940 He had a "son" with Georgiana (Ana) Durwin who after married to John went on to marry a Albert Berger. She was pregnant with a child who was put up for adoption at 2 months. Some paper work shows no name for the baby and some shows the name of Walter Gordon who was later adopted by a single lady with the last name Lyons (baby Walter's name became Walter Alden Sumner Lyons) There is some speculation that Georgiana was not pregnant with Johns baby because they were "separated" and on some official adpotion paperwork it shows that the father abandoned the family.. Walter's sons looked just like him so I am thinking that the Gene is very stong, possibly a picture of John Watson (gordon) could solve my dilemna!

Re: Ambrose Watson, Cross Anchor,Enoree

mwatson7243 — 2012-03-23 17:03:22Z

I am researching the Watson family that left Orange/Person Co., NC and settled in Greenville/Spartanburg Counties of SC. Two sons of Jesse Watson, Sr., relocated to SC: Elijah Watson & younger brother Jesse Watson, Jr. Their brother Charles remained in NC. My line descends from Jesse Watson, Jr. thru his son Moses C. Watson who left SC for AL. They evidently settled in the Enoree River area.

If this is the Watson family connected to Ambrose Watson, I would love to hear from you.

My grandfather George Henry Watson was born 3 Aug 1920 in France to a French mother and American WWI Father (I don't know what military branch). I don't belive they married. I do not know either names. I belive around 1930-5 my Gfather lived with his father in Washington State for a short time. If anyone has any information for me it would be greatly appreciated.
Update: Harry Watson was stationed in Tacoma, Washington and by abt 1955 was possibly on his 3rd marriage.
