Family History Book: Watson
- This is my paternal surname, so is the Y-DNA root for my immediate birth family. My father did have his Y-DNA tested at FamilyTreeDNA years ago, but the password and source data was lost. Oddly, although this lineage ought to be the easiest to trace via DNA, that has not proven to be the case from a genealogy point of view because of missing documentation. Ironically, the other least-documented line is my mtDNA family, where the earliest known ancestor is only five generations ago (Jane Starling Hutchinson Cattell). Go figure.

- Earliest Watson Ancestor: Mulvaney Watson (1575-1605, born on Orkney, Scotland
- Second Early Watson: James Mulvaney Watson (1590-1650) of Dundee, Angus, Scotland
- Third Early Watson: James Watson (1624-1704), immigrated from Dundee, Angus, Scotland to Prince George's Co., Maryland
- Fourth Early Watson: William Watson (1652-1723), born in Dundee, immigrated to Maryland
- Fifth Early Watson: James B Watson III (1677-1777), born in Maryland
- Sixth Early Watson: James C Watson (1705-1775)
- Seventh Early Watson: David Lewis Watson (1727-1811), born in Georgia
- Eighth Watson: This ancestor's name and dates are unknown at this time, but this bullet point is included here as a placemarker.
- After David L Watson there is a gap of one or two generations where we don't know the names of his son (and possibly his grandson). Pending further information, the provisionally named "John Aaron Watson" would be the nineth (or 10th?) early Watson, and first known Watson. Overwhelming DNA evidence, however, convinces me that we are descended from David Lewis Watson. This will be explained in detail on another page.
