John Watterson married Martha Watterson nee Watterson in 1848 in Ireland. After emigrating to Canada, then New York, they ended up in Newmarket, Rockingham Co., New Hampshire where John died on July 16, 1890.
Would like to know where his children were, if still alive. Maybe names of their spouses and children.
thanks for any help

thanks for any help
This should help narrow down the time frame for deaths of the children. Richard/Richardson died in 1906. His obit list his sister Martha as being the last survivor of 9 siblings. This would indicate all the other children died prior to 1906.

This is so wonderful, Sandra and RJ137. You have really built up the family all the way to Sadie Gates death in 2019. I see that there is a Joseph McGall near to John McGall on the 1900 and 1910. Possibly brother.
thanks +++ for the obits as well.

Thanks to the info that John McGall's parents were David McGall and Sarah Watterson, I was able to tie Sarah into the Watterson tree. She was bapt July 27, 1828, daughter of Ignatius Watterson - not the Ignatius who went to Philadelphia and was the father of Mary Watterson who married Louis Van Boekel.
Great!!!

I am pretty sure I have now found the death of Geo. in New Hampshire Dec 31,1879, in Newmarket, age 30, which is perfect. We know that he died before 1906 as per the obit of Richardson Watterson.
I wonder if Geo had an obit.
Peggy
==
Here are some things I'm seeing and assumptions I'm making.
I believe all the children, with exception to Richard(1906) and Martha(1921) died before John did in 1890. The local paper "The Newmarket Advertiser" is available from 1891-1932. This would be one year after John's death, unfortunately. There is no mention in the paper of John's children except for two, Richard and Martha, as noted in their obits previously posted. Because of this lack of mention in the paper from 1891-1906 and Richard's obit stating he and Martha were the last two surviving children, I assume the other 7 siblings died prior to 1891.
=====================
There is one name I'm consistently seeing in the paper, and he appears to be related, Andrew J Watterson, born 1853 Ireland. He died in 1924. He's easy to follow in Family Search records.
Death: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FSVV-2L1

1900 Census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M3YX-YM1
His obit in 1924 mentions his nearest living relatives are 2nd cousins living in Raymond. This would be where Martha McGall was living with her family. There are a couple of small snippets in the local paper on 28 Dec 1923, with one stating Andrew is seriously ill with heart trouble. And just below that a snippet saying; "Mrs. Elizabeth Fairbanks of Hopedale, MA and Miss McGall of Raymond are stopping at A.J. Watterson's". The Elizabeth Fairbanks is on Andrew wife, Emma French's, side of the family. I assume the Miss McGall of Raymond is one of Martha's daughters. If this is true, then Martha and Andrew were 1st cousins and that Andrew's father would have been John Watterson's brother?

Thanks RJ137. I shall endeavor to sort out Andrew J. Watterson. John Watterson's wife Martha was also a Watterson before marriage. Andrew's dob doesn't fit for him to be a brother to either John or Martha who were both born 1824 whereas Andrew j. was born 1853. However, John McGall's mother was also a Watterson. Too many Wattersons.
Thanks again

On his index card for naturalization, Andrew J. Watterson says he emigrated to Boston Sept 1869 on the Queen Victoria. If that travel could be found, perhaps it names a relative at each end. Might be his father or a sibling.

The earlier passenger lists give very basic information and wouldn't give any relatives names at either end.
If he were travelling with others it may help.

I think you may have misinterpreted what I was saying. When I said Martha and Andrew were 1st cousins, I was referring to Martha McGall. Andrew's birth of 1853 fits in perfectly with the births of the children of John & Martha. This could/would mean Andrew's father was a brother to John Watterson b. 1824 or the Martha Watterson b. 1824 who was married to John.

I checked Andrew's marriage record, but that was no help.
Andrew Watterson and Emma French were married in Maine. Maine's marriage records are great when it comes to additional information about the couple's family, even back in the 1880s. Unfortunately, almost everything on the cards was left blank, including parents names and birthplace.

Thank you very much, Sandra and RJ137 for checking out Andrew's marriage and travel records. Too bad there are so many blanks on the marriage record and no specific people named in his obit, not even his wife.
You are right, RJ137, I was thinking wrong about Andrew's relationship to John and Martha Watterson. I have quite a bit of info about the children of John's brothers (John born 1824) and Andrew doesn't seem to fit. One of John's brothers was the Richard Watterson that we have followed to his death in Missouri in 1910. Richard was in Ohio before 1859 and I doubt that he would have emigrated without a 6 yr old Andrew. His brother Thomas didn't marry until 1861. His brother William was in Quebec by 1847. Martha born 1824 is a different story-I have no brothers for her but there could likely be some. I only have 2 sisters but there were usually more children in the family in that time frame.
You have done a great analysis of the family RJ137. Martha born 1824 had a sister Margaret Leacock nee Watterson who died in Manchester, NH Aug 25, 1903 and Andrew doesn't mention her family in his obit. There was another sister Matilda that I haveno info on past her baptism in 1826 in Ireland.
Thanks again for all your help Sandra and RJ137.
