WATSON / SPENCER / BENSON

Jim Spencer March 21, 2000

Has anyone researched the family tree of William WATSON, Sr. and Sopha CARY, whom I recently discovered in the two transcribed BOOMER and WATSON diaries posted on the Hyde Co. genealogy website (http://www.rootsweb.com/~nchyde/wwboomer.htm) and http://www.rootsweb.com/~nchyde/sgwatson.htm)? They are said to have emigrated from England (Sopha was Irish) to Hyde Co. by way of the Eastern Shore of VA or MD. I am especially interested in determining if they are the parents of James WATSON whose will has also been posted (http://www.rootsweb.com/~nchyde/hydwill3.htm - see #206). The diaries and will are consistent for all names (siblings and children), with the exception that the diaires give James's wife as Susannah BENSON, whereas the will lists the wife as Sarah (this could be due to a nickname for the same person or perhaps two different wives, even if it is the same husband). The approximate years (as inferred from the diaries) are also consistent. I am ultimately trying to determine if James and Sarah's daughter Prudence SPENCER (as listed in James' will) is the wife of my ggg grandfather Edward SPENCER, Jr. (Edward was born ca. 1793, Prudence b. ca. 1795, m. July 13, 1812) of the large Thomas SPENCER clan of Hyde Co. (Chickocomick). One of Edward and Prudence's sons was named William Watson SPENCER.


WATTS / HARRIS

Dan Griggs September 8, 1997

I need any information on Daniel T. (D.T.) WATTS who married Annie Bertha HARRIS in Hyde County on 29 Sep 1897. At the wedding there was a George WATTS. Can anyone tell me ANYTHING about Daniel? I know from census data that he was a sailor and that he shows on the 1900 Hyde County census. Who was he? Where did he go? This is the worst blind spot in all my family data. Help!! He was my GG-Grandfather.


WATTS

Dan Griggs November 10, 2001

Annie died on 9 May 1899 and was buried in the Episcopal Churchyard which no longer exists I understatnd. Does anyone have anything on these people? Some obscure state/county census or town record? Are there any town records? Did they all die or move back to Maryland? They don't show on the 1900 census that I can find.

WHITE

Norma Mahaney February 4, 2001

I have copied about 3/4 of the 1691-1768 Abstract of North Carolina Wills.

I hope someone else is researching the WHITE family in this area and can give me a little help. The only two WHITE's listed for Hyde Co. are: John WHITE April 7, 1724. April Court 1726. Wife and Executrix: Sarah. Witnesses: Robert PEYTON, Patrick MAULE. Clerk of the Court: Thomas JONES. Executrix qualified before Samuel SLADE. Coat of arms on seal. Sarah WHITE Jan. 6, 1726.

HALIDAY, William WEBSTE Rebster. Clerk of the Court: Thomas JONES. Could the above Sarah be John's wife who died right after he did? Why are all the names different in Sarah's will? Can anyone help me on the this family or any other WHITE families in the area that could be related to John WHITE and Sarah?
