Here are some Watson names; not all necessarily being related to each
other. A kind lady who has been trying to help me locate my Watson
ancestors
provided me with this information of Watson's in Oregon. You'll note
that
although they were in Oregon, they were not all born in Oregon.
If questions, feel free to email me direct.

I found two searchable databases at Univ. Va. that others might find of
interest.
The first is an index of holdings in their archives of primary documents
relating to colonial times. I'm not sure that when it refer's to Master
of a Ship that it means that the person was indeed the ship's
captain--in some cases it is apparently that the person got a
waiver from the ship's captain from being impressed into service.

1 Watson & Rashleigh -- 1780, SR 02332, p.
I'm seeking information on any connections to the following WATSON family.
Virtually nothing is known of Robert WATSON except that this is the name of
the father of Beverly B. (Beverly B. was a man), Richard R., and John
Peddeway WATSON. William is a strong contender for being another brother as
there is a couple of historical accounts of "William and Beverly B. WATSON"
in early (1820's) Western Tennessee history, specifically around Lauderdale
County. There is another possible brother, Christopher WATSON,
I am looking for anything remotely close to ANNI/ANN/ANNE WATSON,b.1820 no

Is anyone researching GEORGE WATSON of Plymouth, MA? born c 1603, died
31 Jan 1689, married Phebe HICKS.
My husband descends from Elizabeth Watson who married Joseph WIlliams so
I am also interested in the WIlliams name.

This may be one of those far stretches ...or a reason I've figured my own
WATSON line came here as outer-space aliens.
I am not back as far as the 1600s. My 2nd Great-grandfather was Milton
Noah WATSON, b. 28 Aug 1808 in Milton, Chittenden, VT; d. 19 Oct 1884 in
Moira, NY; m. 24 Jan 1859 in Milton, Lois WASHBURN. .....
I've been told that he probably had a brother David, but have seen no
documentation to support it. Recently I was told that his family
originally lived in MA.

Hi,
My name is Norene Allen. I have a WATSON line. They seem to be predominantly
from Madison County, Kentucky and previous to that Prince George County
Maryland. In particular, John WATSON b 1774 married Winifred PULLIUM b. 1786.
This union produced my relative John WATSON b 1800 who married Mary CLOYD all
still in Madison County.
I would like to correspond with anyone who might have more information about
this lineage.

>WATSON line came here as outer-space aliens.
The Watson family was all over Rhode Island from the 1600s on. As you
chart the families there you notice that some of them begin the trek
south, into Rensaller New York, then Maryland. I find mine in Fairfax and
Loudoun counties in Virginia toward the end of the 1700s and up until
1825.
Just a thought for the list.
