I'm looking for a connection between the family of Richard and Sarah Stubblefield Watts and the Burton and Lowe families. Richard, b. 1758 VA moved his family from NC to Washington Co. about 1795. His possible brothers Peter, William and Gabriel Watts also migrated to the Wash Co., Mercer Co. area. Richard and Sarah Watts had 6 known children:
1. Elizabeth Watts 1777 NC m. Joseph Garshwiler, Seaton Beadles
2. Nancy Jane Watts 1779 VA m. Beverly James Dickerson
3. Sarah Watts 1780 or 84 m. Peter Shaefor, Peter Compton
4. John S. Watts 1787 NC m. Mary Schooling, Elizabeth
Ewing Berry Yocum
5. William Russell Watts 1789 VA m. Jane Schooling, Martha
Ann Burns Wilham
6. Frances Watts 1794 or 1804 m. Alexander Murray
It's possible that Richard and Sarah had one or two yet to be identified children who married into the Lowe and Burton families of Washington Co., KY.
Son John S. Watts called Jordan R. Lowe b. abt 1810 KY "brother". John's daughter Margaret Jane Watts Hays b. 1836 Washington Co., KY called Jordan Lowe "cousin". There are several Low/Lowe families in Wash. Co. in the 1820-1840 censuses. Also Margaret Watts Hays called Eliza C. Watts Dickerson b. 1813 KY "Sister" although she does not seem to be a daughter of John S. Watts and Jordan R. Lowe lived near her in Howard Co., MO during the Civil War and is mentioned by Eliza in an 1865 letter to Margaret.
Margaret Watts Hays called William and Beverly J. Burton cousins. William T. Burton, b.Oct. 1824 probably Washington Co., KY lived with the John S. Watts family in Washington Co. when he was a child. His mother's name was probably Mary (Unknown) Burton, called Aunt Polly Burton by Margaret Watts Hays.
I'm putting a collection of letters by the Watts and Hays families online at www.wattshaysletters.com and would like to figure out the relationship of these families.
