Elizabeth is with Jonathan 1850 thru 1870 and on the 1875 MN state census. She was born abt 1820-25
in Kentucky. Her age varies on the census records. In fact she states she was 50 on both the 1870
and 1875 census. Then in 1885 she is 70. She married at age 18.

Benjamin WATSON was born abt 1745 in Accomack Co, VA. Information from IGI....patron submitted
information. Have not been able to confirm.
15 children.
