Watson Research
Does anyone reconize this Watson family? James Watson was born in 1790 in NC according to the 1850 IN Census. He migrated to Rockcastle County, KY in about 1810.He married a Polly and raised a family there on Skeggs Creek. He left KY about 1832 and moved to Lawrence County, IN. From there he moved to Brown County, IN. I would like to find his parents or any family members out there. I believe his first child was named after his grandfather, Burrell from VA due to the naming patterens of the time. His children were Burrell Jackson Watson, b:1812; Elizabeth Watson, b: 1813; Uriah Hardin Watson, b:1815, William Wade Watson, b: 1818; Darius Matison Watson, b: 1820, Mary Watson, b: 1822; Nancy Mary Watson, b: 1824, Clearender Watson, b: 1827; Berlinda Watson, b: 1827; James Cyrus Watson, b: 1832.
