H. in 1752. Nathan Watson d. in 1821. Ruth (Bean) Watson d. in 1819. NATHAN WATSON m. RUTH HINKSON, and was a farmer in Nottingham, N. H. Rev. Elijah Watson made the following entry in his family Bible: "My honored father died Dec. 7, 1825, in the 78th year of his age." In a deed of land made May 28, 1772, Nathan Watson, his wife, Ruth, Samuel Hinkson and Abigail Hinkson, the last three children of Robert Hinkson, disposed of all their title and rights to Ezekiel Clough. In the above it is plain that Nathan, Elijah's father, could not have been the Nathan b. in Wales in 1729. It is also known that Nathan Watson's wife, Ruth (Hinkson) Watson, d. at the home of her son, Josiah, in Berwick, Me., Dec. 12, 1831. It is therefore probable, but not proved, that NATHAN, the father of Rev. Elijah, was the son of NATHAN WATSON and RUTH BEAN who were born and married in Wales. According to the above theory, the early genealogy of the Watson family would be as follows, down as far as Rev. Elijah Watson. Since the date of his birth the line is easily followed.
