Looking for further info on John Watterson who died 20 Feb 1882
West Fallowfield Township, Chester, Pennsylvania, United States.
Wondering if parents were Joseph Watterson and Mary Woods.
Thanks for any help

Looking in West Fallowfield Chester PA there is this one - nothing to say who the parents might be.
Born 1807 ?
1850 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M4H9-F43

Because of the presence of Robert McMinn on the 1850 census, I was guessing John's wife was Margaret McMinn. There is a tree online which confirms this and says John's parents were George Watterson, and Elizabeth (unsourced). All children born PA, starting with Samuel in 1800 which makes George rather young if he was indeed born 1783.
Thanks so much Sandra.

Death record of daughter Rachel Watterson born 12 March 1832 died 18 August 1918 age 86 parents
John Watterson and Margaret McMinn. Buried 21st August 1918 in Oxford.
It says she was a widow so either she married another Watterson or she had 2 children out of wedlock and nothing was said. Her son William E 1863-1928 reported her death.
-
The John Watterson on find a grave at Manor Presbyterian Church is more likely the son of Joseph Watterson 1813-1888 and Eliza Ann nee Smith 1817-1896.
He was born 1836 and died 1921 ref death cert.
His brother Isaac is there 1845-1904
Another find a grave has John Watterson 1835 -1821 Memorial in Oxford Cemetery
-
I looked at the online tree which does have Rachel Watterson, daughter of John Watterson and Margaret McMinn married to James E. Watterson, son of James Watterson and Mary, and this James is son to the same George Watterson and Elizabeth who are the parents of John Watterson married to Margaret. So if the senior James and John are siblings, then James E. and Rachel are cousins - right?
But.... the John on findagrave, is possibly not the one married to Margaret McMinn. For sure, he is not the son of Joseph Watterson and Mary Woods since he was born PA. The only clue to who he is, is that he is the grandson of Belle. That bears further research. If Isaac is his brother, does Isaac have grandmother Belle? I guess that means either Joseph Watterson's mother or Eliza Ann Smith's mother is named Belle.

I'm going round in circles, the Watterson's named their children Samuel, Margaret, Annie etc.
It takes finding the death certificates for parents names to sort them out.
Found Margaret married Pierce 27 January 1837-1 August 1913 has parents John Watterson and Margaret McMinn.
Mary married Mulvaney 1838-20 August 1899 same parents.
Sarah married ?Henry 5 May 1839-25 August 1912 same parents
Samuel M (military record) 4 June 1847 death cert 4 April 1845-28 December 1916 same parents
Annie married Samuel Watterson (1836-1904)? 28 February 1839- 2 April 1930 same parents.
Have not sorted which Samuel she married yet
-
As far as John Watterson at the Manor Presbyterian, there is also a James Watterson with no dates buried there.
It depends on how old the graves are as others buried there are:
+Belle Watterson Griest 1869-1957 ??
Alice G Giffing Watterson 1894-1918
Sarah Ann Watterson Harper 1842-1882
Eliza Ann Watterson 1817-1896 my notes (wife of Joseph) maiden name Smith
James Watterson
John Watterson
Joseph Watterson Sr. 1813-1888
Julia Ann Geiger Watterson 1858-1935
-
You are doing great, amondg. Thanks for finding the spouses of John and Margaret's children.
I have access to the library edition of Ancestry which is limited but I did find a tree for Joseph Watterson married to Eliza Ann Smith but it doesn't have parents for either one of them. But it did have the death certificate for their son John who died in 1921 and he is buried in Oxford Cemetery. Headstone says wife Margaret J. 1848-1902.
I was thinking about the John Watterson who had grandmother Belle. If it was John married to Margaret McMinn, we don't know his grandmother either, just his mother Elizabeth.

Goodness, Sandra, you have been busy. I woke up to a wealth of fabulous information regarding these Wattersons in Pennsylvania. Thank you so much and for including obits which are always useful. I will have to sit down and make a tree to sort them all out.
My first question was definitely answered and that was whether John Watterson's parents were Joseph Watterson and Mary Woods - answer no.
You have answered who was the wife of the John Watterson who married Margaret J - she was Margaret J. White. His parents Joseph Watterson and Eliza Ann Smith. I have been looking for the parents of Joseph and of Eliza Ann. Perhaps the North American Family History has that info. If 1813 Joseph followed the naming pattern, and he named his first son John, then his father might also be John. The unknown John? I wish they had given more info than just grandson of Belle.
Since on the 1860 census, for Joseph and Eliza, son John is 24, I am guessing their marriage was about 1835. Wondering if that would have parents on it.
I will be busy for a while doing up all this info.

I see George and Elizabeth on the 1850 census. George is 71. But I don’t find them in 1860. Does anyone else? If not he must’ve died between 1850 and 1860. Maybe his death certificate gives his parents, Same for Elizabeth. First son Samuel born about 1800 although that makes Elizabeth only 15 when he was born so the ages must be out a little bit.

That will is very interesting but must be the George married to Mary Dunlap as he names sons George, Jackson, David, William. Boy, the more we look, the more Wattersons we find.
Lizzie who died 1862 may be the other George's wife. She was 65 in 1850. There is someone else listed at the bottom on her gravestone, could be George, looks like Dec 23, 1898?? That wouldn't be her husband dying then.

I think John age 84 is the widower of Margaret J. White.
I think Ella M. Smith must be his daughter. Trouble is I have her married to Robert McIntyre in 1901. Did she remarry to a Smith before 1920? Another problem, did she have a previous marriage before 1901,resulting in a daughter Erma abt 1889 who later married Elwood C. Kent? I may have found Elwood on the 1910 census, transcribed as Kento, married 1 year, son Lewis, but wife is Anna E., born abt 1889 as she is 21.

Thank you Sandra for this excellent background information and for the births and deaths of the various people involved. I think I see what started the controversy. On the 1920 census, if you look closely at the house numbers, John Watterson is actually living with Robert McIntyre and Ella below his name and not with the Kent household above his name.
That’s great information in the obituary of Margaret McCaskey White.

As near as I can figure, George Watterson born Ireland abt 1783 died between 1857 and 1860 in Chester Co., PA as he is not on the 1860 census, nor is his wife Elizabeth. I haven't been able to find his death as yet. I have emailed to a contact in Ireland to see if George married before emigration, presuming I have hit the right church.
Thanks for any help with George's death.
