WATSON.


NATHAN WATSON, b. in Wales in 1729; m. in Wales; came to N. H. in 1752.


RUTH BEAN, b. in Wales 1726; m. in Wales; came to N. H. in 1752. Nathan Watson d. in 1821.


Ruth (Bean) Watson d. in 1819.


NATIIAN WATSON m. RUTH HINKSON, and was a farmer in Notting- ham, N. H. Rev. Elijah Watson made the following entry in his family Bible: "My honored father died Dec. 7, 1825, in the 78th year of his age." In a deed of land made May 28, 1772, Nathan Watson, his wife, Ruth, Samuel Hinkson and Abigail Hinkson, the last three children of Robert Hinkson, disposed of all their title and rights to Ezekiel Clough.


In the above it is plain that Nathan, Elijah's father, could not have been the Nathan b. in Wales in 1729. It is also known that Nathan Wat- son's wife, Ruth (Hinkson) Watson, d. at the home of her son, Josiah, in Berwick, Me., Dec. 12, 1831.


It is therefore probable, but not proved, that NATHAN, the father of Rev. Elijah, was the son of NATIIAN WATSON and RUTH BEAN who were born and married in Wales.


According to the above theory, the early genealogy of the Watson fam- ily would be as follows, down as far as Rev. Elijah Watson. Since the date of his birth the line is easily followed.


NATHAN, son of Nathan and Ruth (Bean) WATSON, was b. -; d. Dec. 7, 1825, a. 77; m. RUTH HINKSON, b. Epping, N. H., Jan. 2, 1748; d. at home of her son, Josiah, in Berwick, Me .. Dec. 12, 1831.


Phebe, b. -; d. Dec. 30, 1825, in 54th year of her age. b. -: d. May 21, 1852, a. 77.
