David Watson was born on 7 October 1734 Ireland.¹ He was the son of John Watson and Ann Stephenson. David Watson was born in the north of Ireland in October, 1734, and came to America with his uncle, James Stephenson, who took up three hundred and twenty-four acres of land adjoining the Donegal meeting-house glebe land on the north, about the year 1740, for which he took out a patent Aug. 11, 1749, and called it "Seat of Beauty." He gave this land to his son Nathaniel, who died without issue.
On Sept. 5, 1780, the executors of Nathaniel Stephenson conveyed the farm to Jasper Yeates, Esq., who reconveyed it to David Watson on the same day.

After his marriage he removed from his uncle Stephenson's to Strasburg township, now in Paradise township. He was married the second time to Sarah, daughter of the late Samuel Patterson, who settled in Leacock township, on the Pequea, prior to 1743, and took up two hundred and fifty acres, and whose daughter Margaret married Col. James Mercer, a prominent officer in the Revolutionary war, a member of the General Assembly for 1782, 1783, 1784. Mr. Watson and Col. Mercer purchased the land left by Mr. Patterson, and Mr. Watson moved upon this farm in Leacock township. Watson was appointed one of the justices of the Court of Common Pleas. He was a prominent patriot during the Revolution, and rendered valuable service to the cause when serving on various committees.
