Will WATTS, b. bef 1887 in OK, TX, or TN
Hi everyone, I'm searching for more information, parents of etc. of Will (possibly William) WATTS, born before 1887, in either OK, TX, or TN, died before 1960. He married Martha GRAHAM, before 1902. They had Ernest, b. 1902, Walter, b. 1907 or 1909, Anna Lee, b. 1916, and Joseph, b. aft 1920.
Martha died while her children were young adults/teens, and they seemed to have separated from Will and moved to Putnam County, TN without him. This is one reason I think they have connections to TN. According to Walter's death certificate, he was born 1909 in TX, and on his son's (my father) birth certificate, he was born 1907 in OK.
Going on family legend and other reasons, I believe Will, Martha, & Walter were either part or Cherokee, or descended from the Melungeons. Family legend has also suggested that Will committed at least one murder.
Any help is much appreciated,
Analee Watts
