Notes |
Married:
- History of Logan County and Watkins Genealogy say that James and Nancy were married on 10 April, 1810. But the records in Sussex County say that they were married 24 April, 1810. Since James posted a marriage bond on 21 April, 1810, it seems unlikely that he would have been married on the 10th; therefore, I believe that the evidence supports 24 April, 1810 as their marriage date.
Residence:
- Census recorded him as James Wadkins. The family consisted of:
1 Male 26-45: James would have been 34
2 Males <10: Sons: Henry and Elisha
1 Female 26-45: Nancy would have been 34-35
2 Females <10: Daughters: Mary and Harriett
- Census listed him as James Watkins with seven in the household:
1 male 40-50: James was 44
1 male 15-20: Henry would have been about 19
1 male 10-15: Elisha would have been about 11
1 male <5: William would have been 4+
1 female 40-50: Nancy would have been about 45
1 female 15-20: Mary would have been about 19
1 female 10-15: Harriet would have been about 14
- Listed as James Watkins, Jr. with three people living in the household.
1 male 50-60: James would have been about 54
2 males 15-20: Elisha would have been about 20 and William, about 15
1 female 40-50: This is probably an error as Nancy would have been about 55.
- This citation may not be correct. The names are given as James and Ann Walker. But the ages and place of birth are correct. This census taker also misspelled the surname of another Watkins as Wadkins; so his accuracy may be suspected.
