General Notes: Husband - John Watson

---

He was born east of the mountains and removed to Fayetteville, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, in 1811, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits, and made his home on the Whereham farm of 150 acres. This property, when he took possession of it, could hardly be called a farm, for it was as yet almost unimproved and a dense forest covered the greater part of it. The trees were felled and the soil gradually and slowly made ready for the growth of crops. He then bought the land, which was later owned and farmed by his great-grandson, Prof. Watson. It was here that death came to him suddenly and without warning, when he was aged sixty-five years; he happened to be driving a yoke of oxen attached to a wagon, and in some manner was thrown from the vehicle upon a rock in the roadway, and his neck broken.
