(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: William Watts' will was made November 1850 and probated 12 May 1851. Brice W. Hammack, Hiram Wommack, and Norris H. Goodman signed the will as witnesses. William Watts is listed as grandson and executor. There are two children thought to be children of William that are not shown in the will. One is Eliza Luckett, as she is shown as Eliza Watts in the pension papers of F. M. Luckett, her husband. We do not know why she was not listed in William's will. The other child is Wesley Watts, who died before William. They seem to be represented in the 1820 census, with at least one other child, who Lori Linnell shows as Mary A. Watts, born in 1818.)
