William Delaney WATSON is connected to my line.I have very little on William and his siblings, as his parents (Joab WATSON and Sarah Belle MOODY) were divorced in Madison Co., KY circa 1877, and his mother died the following year.I don't know whatever happened to Joab, for I cannot find him on 1870 or 1880 census anywhere.He was listed with his father on the 1860 Madison Co., KY census, and he and Sarah were married in 1867.
Joab was the son of
William WATSON (b. 1803 d. aft 1860)
son of
Joseph E. WATSON (b. 1756 d. 1841)
son of
John WATSON (b. 1728 d. 1806-1820)
As I stated, I don't have much on Joab, but I have quite a bit on his ancestry.According to a book on the MOODY FAmily coupled with my research on his family, I have the following information below.I would be happy to be able to add more information on this branch, and would therefore be very happy to correspond and share with others researching this WATSON line.
