I am overwhelmed with all the information that you all have found - Sandra, RJ137, oldohiohome. Especially in such a difficult family situation with adoptions, etc.
I could not have found it myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I was lucky enough to find a tree on ancestry with  Elizabeth Jane Ferguson on it who married John Watterson in Philadelphia. The tree had her parents on it along with all her siblings. Unfortunately it does not have parents for John Watterson who this tree says was born in Ireland abt 1825. I would love to tie him into the rest of my Wattersons if I could. I have a John born 1821, 1822, 1823, 1824 and he might be one of them. Elizabeth Jane died in 1870 and John is on the 1870 census with the children but I don’t see him again. Perhaps his death record would give his parents if we knew when he died. Can anyone find him in 1880 or find his death?

A few entries that came up yesterday. There were 2 enumerations of the 1870 census - on the first one (13 June 1870) John was born 1820 - Post Office Byberry - ret farmer and the second enumeration (16 November 1870) shows him born 1825 - 4520 Post Office - Frankford - no occupation

1865 city director John Waterson - farmer - 648 Fkd ave. Fkd.

1870 census seems to show John M Watterson h 4520 Frankford

1870 city directory -  John M Waterson - 4520 Fkd, Fkd. Millinery.

1871 city directory -  John M Waiterson (per transcription - Waterson on image) 4520 Fkd, Fkd. Philadelphia. Millinery.

1875 city directory -  John M Waterson - 4520 Fkd, Fkd. Philadelphia. No occupation given.

One to discount -  John Waterson listed 923 Cantrell Street was 42 years old in 1886 - various entries for this one.

Nothing to positively identify this one - 1879 city directory -  John M Waterson - 64 Adams Fkd - Labourer

or this one in 1880 city directory  - John Waterson. 152 Unity, Fkd

The son John Waterson appears in City Directory 1890/1891/1892 -  1210 Potts - occupation printer. Plus various entries following years at 1026 Olive
