    • Linder, p. 440, gives marriage date as Sep 4 1853 and incorrectly identifies Wilson Watson as the son of George & Sarah Divers Watson. But that Wilson Watson was born in 1850 and married Nancy Rhuhama Sommerville. Nonetheless, Wilson Watson is not listed by Minnie Kendall Lowther among the children of Jacob Watson & Sarah Pritchard.
