Watts & Clarke
I am assisting an older friend named Dick trace his ancestors from Virginia who lived 1850 in Warren County, NC.Dick has in his possession his ancestors family Bible dated 1829, originally owned by his gr-gr grandmother Dicy WATTS (widow of Thomas Clarke).Dick is unsure if his ancestor Dicy was WIFE or SISTER to Bracket Barnes WATTS (b.Nov 10, 1800 VA. Source: Bible).
According to Halifax County, Virginia records, Bracket B. Watts married 1831 to Fatha Ann Overton--who must have died before the 1850 Warren Co NC Census, leaving several young children.According to the 1840 census, Bracket B. Watts lived Mecklenburg, NC.
