My g-g-grandmother was Mary Jane Crate.She
married #1, a Mr. Douglass (William?), she
bore my g-grandfather, Wm.O. Douglass.Her
husband died, and she remarried Samuel Watterson in W. Freedom township, Clarion Co., PA., in 1857/58.Samuel was in the Civil War, and I have a copy of his records somewhere.He left the military because of severe health problems, which seem to have plagued him most of his life.Together, they had more children:James Alvin Watterson, Samuel Watterson,Hannah J. Watterson and another, (whose name I
can't find right now) and an adopted son,
Thomas.Mary's obituary says she bore 5 children, four living.(This would include one Douglass). Her adopted son, his wife and
a child are buried near Mary.Samuel lived
to a ripe old age, and died in Missouri in
St. James? I think.Again I would have to
find the records.I have a picture of this
man and Mary Jane Crate, a daughter of Daniel
Crate, who is shown on 1860 census with his
grandson, William O. Douglass living with him.
1850 census shows Daniel, with his family,
living in Toby Township, Clarion Co., PA.
I believe we are searching for the same
Watterson family.I am working on this with
my distant (half cousin?), who lives in Idaho.I gathered this information and more,
while searching for more information on my
Douglass/Crate families.I would be happy
to share, and it appears you are researching
the same line.I think you have information which could be of much help to us.Please respond if you are interested in any info I have.Thank you.
