-: Some sources claim that [[Mulvaney Watson (1575-1606)]] was the son of David Watson, son of John T. Watson (1520-1584), Bishop of Winchester, born in Worcestershire, England. I have not included this lineage yet since I have not seen convincing evidence of this relationship. However, the same sources also claim that Bishop Watson's ancestry goes back to another Mulvaney Watson in Scotland, so I'm not ruling it out entirely. More research is needed.

 : The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography's [https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/28844 entry for Bishop John Watson] states that he was unmarried, and his will does not mention any children, although he did leave bequests to children of his various siblings. So I do not believe he is our ancestor.
