General Notes: Husband - James Watson

---

He spent most of his life near Fayetteville, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and his occupation for a number of years was the operation of a distillery, which he constructed himself. Upon his father's decease, he bought the interests of the other heirs to the homestead and made the old place his home until death, supporting himself and providing for the wants of his family by cultivating the farm that his father had tilled before him. In 1835 he was elected to the position of sheriff of Lawrence County.

He was filling the office of sheriff of Mercer County, Pennsylvania, at the time of his death.
