Watson Family History

Thomas Watson (born 1798, died 1875) and Jane Collier (born 1807, died 1896) were raised in County Armagh, Ireland, and came to Canada in early 1843. Their son, from whom we are descended, was William Watson, who was sixteen when the family emigrated. William's brother, Richard, and his sister, Rachel, were older.

The family first settled in Gananoque, and came later to Reading Corner, where they farmed on the fourteenth line, lot six. Richard Watson had a son named Nelson, who died young, and a daughter named Jane, who lived in the Okanogan Valley in British Columbia. Rachel married John Byrne of Hillsburg, who owned a carriage works. The Byrnes had sons: William and John, who remined bachelors.

William, married Sarah Jane Donaldson, a young widow (Mrs. J. Moody) with a daughter: Sarah Jane Moody, who married George Lindsay in 1886, having met him in Cookstown while visiting her father’s family.

The Lindsays had one son, William Donaldson Lindsay., born August 11, 1886. They first lived in London, Ontario; then moved to Kendries, Idaho, and finally settled near Los Angeles, California.

My great grandfather, Thomas Watson, was next in this family.
He married Adeline East, and had two children, Hazel and Bill (my grandfather).

After Thomas came James Donaldson Watson (1872-1944). He married Belle McGee (1880-1958). They had two sons: James Ivan and Glen.

Next in the Watson Family was William George, (1880-1943). His wife was Mabel Patterson (1880). Their daughter was Sarlizabeth.
