The Searcy Co., AR Watts are not Jacob Watts family! Jacob's family was of Izard, Washington, Baxter and Marion Co.
The Searcy Co. Watts may have been of the same original Watts clan some years earlier; but they were not killed in 1862 for being descendants of Chief John Watts that attempted to lead an organized Cherokee Army against the USA in 1793!Jacob & John Watts of Marion Co., AR were killed along with other Family members.
There was a deep family friend connection in Taney Co., MO among the descendants of Nancy Jane Watts and the Hortens.We can not explain the reason now!
