I am trying to find info on William Watten, born ca 1800.VA and his wife, Nancy, born ca 1808 TN. Their daughter, Martha Jane, born 1831, TN, married Hughey Gilbert Johnston, 9-11-1847 in Massac Co., IL. They were all living in Johnson Co., IL in 1860 and Hughey and Martha had an Ira Watten living with them that I assume is her brother also born in IL. Another family was living with them also. Joshua Simpson, 29, IL and wife Brazilla, 29, he born in IL and she in KY with 5 children. Hughey and Martha had 4 children.Hughey Gilbert Johnston was my great-great grandfather, his son John W. was my great grandfather and James Carl Johnston, his son, was my grandfather. This was Hughey Gilbert's first wife and my great-great grandmother. Hughey was also 1/2 Cherokee as stated in his Civil War Pension papers. Any info is appreciated. Email [email protected]
