Father |
James WATKINS, III, b. 28 Jun 1786, Sussex County, Virginia, United States d. 13 Aug 1866, Perry Township, Logan, Ohio, United States (Age 80 years) |
Mother |
Nancy D. WHITE, b. 11 Mar 1785, Sussex County, Virginia, United States d. 6 Aug 1852, Jefferson Township, Logan, Ohio, United States (Age 67 years) |
Residence |
1810 |
Sussex County, Virginia, United States [5] |
Marriage |
24 Apr 1810 |
Sussex County, Virginia, United States [2, 6] |
- 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.

- 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.
