Death of Lizzie Watterson, 1910-1920, Philadelphia

[Peggy13]

I have done a search so I could link it and I may be confused with the Alexander that we researched who died in 1976, son of Joseph Watterson and Margaret Jane Patterson. The 1976 Alexander was a chauffeur who died in New York and was a brother to Margaret Helena Watterson.

The 1867 Alexander was a son to Joseph Watterson and Mary Woods. He is mentioned on this tree https://www.ancestrylibrary.ca/family-tree/person/tree/158012972/person/222113793409?ssrc=&queryId=10b360b9d2d64602bfdbfd8a6c9fd20f&ml_rpos=2

Alexander and John are also on the Clarke tree and that is a very reliable source . At this time, we have no idea if this is the John Watterson that we are looking at, married to Elizabeth Jane Ferguson

I haven't found daughter Mollie aka Mary Watterson in 1880 or Thomas H., but I do find John P. age 14 and his brother Joseph 16 in the household of John  Snyder as a nephew. In actual fact, they would be nephews to Joseph Ferguson who is a son-in-law to John Snyder. What relationship does that make them to John Snyder? Anyway, what I'm saying is that I am thinking that John Watterson, their father, also died between 1870 and 1880 or why would the boys be with their uncle Joseph Ferguson? And where are Mollie and Thomas aka Harry?

Robert W. Ferguson, Eliza's brother, died 11 DEC 1886 • Philadelphia. Might he have an obit?

Great find Sandra! Mary "Wallerton" is found. That leaves Thomas. Enforces my theory that father John Watterson had died, unless he couldn't cope.
I was also going to ask about Rachel's obit, seeing as she was single, might mention more family relatives. She died  19 OCTOBER 1887 • Pennsylvania
Joseph Ferguson died 25 JUL 1903 • Philadelphia
