• Notes

  Find a Grave Memorial ID: 10462888; (History of Bucks County p.924) Thomas Waton, of Strawberry, now parish of Cockermouth, County Cumberland, England, came with his wife, Rebecca (Mark) Watson, and children to America in 1702, and settled on a farm of 357 acres, near Oxford valley; a part of which tract is now owned by J. Harvey Satterthwaite, and on which is the old stone graveyard, known then and always since as the Watson graveyard. The children that came over with them were: [1] Mary, who married William Paxson; [2] Nathan, who married Sarah Biles; [3] Amos, who married Mary Hillborn; and [4] Mark, who married Ann Sotcher. Two others, born in America, were: [5] John, born in 1703, who married Ruth Blakey, and [6] Joseph, born in 1705. They were members of the Society of Friends, and their certificate was read and approved in Falls meeting, 3d month, 1702. Thomas Watson was a justice of the peace for many years, perhaps until his death (in 1738), and a prominent man of that time. From him are descended most, if not all, of the Watsons in the lower part of Bucks county, and his descend ants have entered into many families, among which are the names of Fell, Palmer, White, Paxson, Hough, Satterthwaite, Davis, Blakey, Burton, Stackhouse, Jenks, Ely, Parry, Richardson, Gilbert, Wildman, and others. ________________________________________________ Thomas Watson, Jr BIRTH - 1661, Cockermouth, Allerdale Borough, Cumbria, England DEATH - Aug 1738 (aged 76– 77) Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA BURIAL - Rowland Burial Ground, Fairless Hills, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA.
