Jonathan Dawson Waters
Forum Members:
I am a new poster on this board.I have several questions you all may be able to help me answer.I am a relative of Jonathan Dawson Waters who owned and operated a large plantation in Fort Bend County.Besides the information from the Texas State Historical Associatin, I have found him in the 1850 census, the 1850 slave schedule, and the 1860 slave schedule, and the 1870 census, but where was he in 1860?I find a J.P. Waters who is an overseer in the county and was born in South Carolina.I also know that his second wife, Clara Byne, died in Galveston in May 1860.Could he have missed the 1860 census?I would also be interested in any land records you all have available.
Thank you,
Christopher Young
