Did Bennett Watts have a son William H Watts born abt. 1812 VA?
I have found on the 1850 & 1880 District 12 Fayette Co. TN census a William H Watts with a young wife, Catherine.Probably a second marriage.In the 1880 census is found a Sue Thornton adopted.She is ours. Susan's Parents were cousins Alfred Horner Thornton + Sally Fitzhugh Thornton- origin from Caroline Co VA & Fauquier County VA. I would like to know the relationship with this Watts family.
This adoption happened after AH Thornton died & Sally remarried.Susan's brother , James Thornton, also adopted & found in the household of George Washington Sharp (Wash) Johnson District 14. The rest of the children remain in the household with the Mother & Stepfather.I have yet to find out the relationship with this Johnson family as well.
Who is this William H Watts?Any help appreciated.
