Good info.   That means Betsy would be the oldest one and she was born 1819.   Where does she fit in?

Martha Lewallen - Aug 1, 2008

Martha, is Betsy/Elizabeth Watson related to the Sanders and Hannah Watson family?

Martha Lewallen - Aug 3, 2008

Good Question.

No Idea

Well, after looking at this time and again, I think Elizabeth is Nancy's oldest sister.

1840 census shows Sanders Watson family females

1 female-under 5
1 female-5-10
1 female- 15-20
1 female-20-30-Elizabeth-age 21 b. 1819
1 female - 40-50-wife Hannah

In 1860 Nancy   age 19 b. 1841

Seth Watson b/o Elizabeth and Nancy married Charlotte Matilda Lewallen(granddaughter of Joseph Lewallen)and Elias Watson also b/o Elizabeth and Nancy married Dicey Lewallen who happens to be sister to Charlotte.

If this were so, it makes it even more likely that Nancy married relative of Joseph(John L. that we haven't determined yet).
