General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Watson

---

He was a native of Scotland, and on coming to America settled near Poland, Ohio, later removing to Hancock County, Ohio. He was a school teacher in his younger days, following that profession for a number of years after his emigration to America, besides farming very successfully. He acquired three hundred acres near Findlay, Hancock County, cleared a valuable farm, operated a general store, and served for years as postmaster at Rawson, which town was built on part of his land. Black walnut was very plentiful thereabouts, and was used entirely in the construction of his house, store, barn and fences. He lived to the age of eighty years.
Originally a Covenanter, he joined the United Presbyterian Church; he was led by his convictions from his early adherence to the Whig Party to join the abolitionists.
