Individual Details

Sarah "Sally" Watson

(10 May 1742 - 26 Jan 1836)



Sarah said to be the daughter of Mathew and Elizabeth Watson, of Lunenburg Co.

Sarah’s will was written 17 Jun 1831 and proven 15 Feb 1836 in Pittsylvania Co., VA (Will Book 1, p. 302). She states that daughter Elizabeth McDaniel has already received the 1/9 share due her from her father’s will, so she is excluded from additional inheritance from Sarah’s will (Elizabeth and her husband received funds in 1829 and headed west). Sarah then divides her estate into 9 parts, naming Thompson Coleman; Daniel Coleman; Stephen Coleman; lawful heirs of Patsy Turner; grandchildren George, Robert, and Stephen Townes; Lucy Price; granddaughter Judith Coleman Harrison; grandchildren Sarah Watson Coleman, Stephen, and Spilsby Coleman; and great grand children Agnes Douglass and Martha Ann Douglass. Daughter Mary Ward is mentioned, but her 1/9 is left to her children Sarah Watson Coleman and Stephen and Spilsby Coleman. I think great grand children Agnes Douglass and Martha Ann Douglass are grandchildren of Elizabeth and Clement McDaniel.
