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.

Prior Generations
Recent Watson DNA Discoveries
- 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 Early Watson: David Watson (1774-1840), born in Georgia, died in Henry Co., Alabama
- Pending further information, the possible ancestor, David Watson (1774-1840), or whomever was the father of Charles M Watson, would be the eighth early Watson, and first known Watson. Contrary to other researchers, I now do not believe his name was John Aaron Watson. Overwhelming DNA evidence, however, convinces me that we are descended from David Lewis Watson, and David is his only known son who died at the expected time. The DNA evidence will be explained in detail on another page.
