General Notes: Husband - David Watts


He was reared on his father's farm on the Juniata in Pennsylvania, and educated at Carlisle, where he graduated from Dickinson College. After leaving college he read law with William Lewis, of Philadelphia, and was admitted to the Bar in that city. He then returned to Cumberland County, and practiced law at Carlisle during the rest of his life. In person Mr. Watts was a large man, possessed of a vigorous mind, and a voice of great volume and strength. He was a fluent, impassioned speaker, and in handling a case would select merely the strong points in it and present them to the jury with a vehemence approaching to fury. He long ranked as the leader of the Bar in central Pennsylvania, and his practice at its flood tide extended over two-thirds of the state. As an advocate he was able and fearless, as a man sincere, generous and honorable, and was greatly esteemed alike by his brethren of the Bar and the general public. [BACC, 193]
