Becky Watson's Public House in Livingston, TN

I've read a little book about early Overton Co., TN where Becky Watson's place gets quite an interesting write-up. Apparently her Public House was a place 2 miles west of Livingston, TN, on the "great road" and was highly regarded as a place for good food and spirits in the very early history (1800-1810?). According to the author there was even a song written about the place.

I'm not researching this surname, but the story was very interesting...I'd love to know anything more about this successful business woman, if indeed anything more is known about her or the establishment itself. Wonder was Watson her married name...was she widowed or a spinster, etc. etc.

Thanks,
Angharod
