NOTE: If William's first son was Samuel, it can probably be assumed that William's father was named Samuel. A tradition in the Watson family for generations was that the son always named the firstborn son after his father. William's first son was named Samuel. Name was spelled Wattson in William's will-could have been misspelled by the person writing the will for William. Because of the X mark we know he could not write.
