Watsons, Monroe County Ala 1820-1838>Telfair Cty Ga
The Civil War Pension Application for two of my ggg uncles list Monroe County Ala as place of birth:
Gideon L Watson born 1825 and James Franklin Watson born 1833. They said that they moved from there in 1838 to Telfair County Ga. I would dearly love to be able to id the name of their father and the maiden name of their mother, Nancy. Nancy Watson (maiden name, if any, unkown) born abt1794 in NC had the following children, all born Ala:
William Jordan Watson, 1820
Ezekiel John 1826
Gideon L 1825
Malachi 1828-1830
James Franklin Dec 1833
Urial Newton 1834
Catherine 1835
(may have been more children born 1820-1825, but these appear to be the ones who moved with Nancy to Telfair County in 1838).
