My mother-in-law's maiden name is Watts. The history of her Watts family as we know it is:
Anneliese Sadie Watts - my mother-in-law
Lawrence Watts - Born April 26, 1923 in Petersburg, VA. Died July 1, 1980 in Browns Mills, NJ.
Ernest Watts - Born December 5, 1904 in Petersburg, VA. Died July 8, 1970 in Petersburg, VA.
Mary Watts - Born approx. 1885 possibly in Petersburg, VA. Died April 1923.
Mollie Watts - Born approx. 1855. Died July 19, 1923.
The information on Mary and Mollie Watts comes mainly from census records and an old family bible. Ernest Watts and his wife Sadie were divorced when Lawrence was young and so the history of the Watts family name was lost without his presence. On our next trip to Petersburg, we hope to find out more information about Ernest - since he lived there until his death in 1970.
