Individual Details

Christopher is in the 1850 Maury Co TN census as age 37, born 1813, in VA. His wife Holly was 33. Children were: William B. age 13, Robert L. age 11, Anderson 9, Allen G. age 5, Madison 2, and Doctor C. age 1.

The 1860 enumerator for Maury Co gave only initials. In Dist #18 was C. C. Waters, age 46, Farmer, bo VA. "M" or Mary was age 44 [Is this a 2nd wife, or did the enumerator mistake the name Polly in 1850?] W. B. was age 24 [William], R. L. was 22 [Robert], W. W. was 19 [???], C. A. was 17 [Anderson?], A. G. age 15 [Allen], M.F. age 13 [Madison] D. A. age 10 [Doctor?]. M. A. age 7, female, M. C. age 3, male. M.R.J. age 2 months, female. Samuel Jack age 45, b. NC lived with the family - he is listed as "idiotick". Elizabeth Water, age 73, b. VA - she owned $5000 worth of real estate.

1870. Again the Maury Co enumerator gave only initials. C. C. Waters, age 57, b. VA. [The enumerator then "dittoed" all the rest of the family as born in Virginia which is certainly not the case.] M. age 54, female, Keeping House. An 18-year-old male works on farm - his initals could be almost anything. "A." age 15, female. "R" age 9, female. M. G.age 12, male. L. E. age 7, female. and M. T. or F. age 22, male, also a farmer.
On the same page are other Walters families.
This one is likely William B., eldest son of Christopher. In Household 23: W. B. Waters, age 33, b. TN. M. age 28, female, Keeps house. S. A. Hight, age 11, male and G. Hight, age 9, also male, could be stepsons. M. Waters, age 6, female, E. Waters, age 4, female, C. D. age 2 male, and S. age 8 months, female, would probably be children of William B. & this wife.
There is still another Waters on this page in Household 26. His initials are H. H. Waters and he is age 27 - he could be the mysterious "W.W." from 1860 who was not in the family in 1850, given the poor handwrinting in these records. Again we have only initials to deal with. H. H. is age 27, b. TN. M. L. female age 26 keeps house and was born in MO. Children born in TN: R. A. 9, a male; E age 7, female; E age 5, female, D. age 3, male; and M. age 1, female. H. Harper age 56 lives with the family and his occupation is "Asst. H. H.".
