Individual Details
William Wallace Watkins
(1 Jun 1843 - 9 Mar 1926)
... William Wallace Watkins married Hester Carlton, a widow with 3 children, one I understood as old as Uncle Bill. I knew two of them, Luther and Mary. I heard Mary married a livery-stable keeper at Athens. Aunt Hester bore Uncle two boys, Will and Cy. Will married and I believe has one child (a boy) of whom I have a picture. I know nothing of Cy.
