Sorry to be so long in getting back on this one.

John Watts, b. 1735 and d. 1768 was the son of Stephen Watts (d. 1751, son of
Peter Watts and Mary Clocker) and Jane Pavatt (dau. of James Pavatt who d. by
8/6/1740 and his wife, Elizabeth). Jane Pavatt had been married first to John
Rhodes, Jr. who d. by 5/25/1752 (son of John Rhodes, Sr. and Eleanor Van
Swearingen).

Henry Taylor's will 11/8/1718 names his daughter, Rachel Taylor.

Thomas Wynn Taylor witnessed the will of William Jenkins, 2/24/1755 and that
of Mary Watts on 11/13/1764 (she had been married previously and was the
mother of Mark Breeden).
