John Thomas Watts

The Watts and Neatherlands moved to Ouachita in 1811, from Wilkinson County, Mississippi. I believe they were in Wilkinson County from 1805 to 1811. They came from South Carolina. - John and Marjorie Watts Mustard

The latter children would have been born on the land that John received as a Mexican land grant in Feb 1835. He received one league and one labor, 4428.40 acres and 177 acres, beginning just about one mile west of Moscow, Polk County, TX. There is a Watts-Jones cemetery 1.4 miles west, that is on this land, and some are buried there, William L, Mary Ann, and probably John and Polly but their graves cannot be identified. Mary Ann married Samuel Bethel Jones, hence the Watts-Jones name on the cemetery. - John and Marjorie Watts Mustard
