	Seeking information on Henry Watkins (1792 NC - 1861 MS), son of Israel Watkins (1762 - 1831 Richmond Co., NC) and Mary Tucker (1766 - 1831 NC). He married his cousin Rachel Cole, dau. of Francis Cole and Elizabeth Watkins, probably in Richmond Co., NC. They supposedly moved to MS. When and where? Who were their children? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I have a copy of a page from a family Bible that lists my g.grandfather Alamander Watkins. There are no dates of places mentioned, however, there is reference to Cole/Coole and Watkins connections.

The Watkins names mentioned are Thomas, James, Gassaway, William,Alamander,John,another James, Marcellus and a Tina Watkins Bucklew. The Cole/Coole names are Mary Ellen , William, John Harbert Coole. Other names are McDaniel,Sanders, Wilde and Shane.

Betty,
I am looking for information on my great great grandfather, Marcellus Watkins. His father was Brice Gassaway Watkins, died in 1864 (Civil War?) and his mother Nancy McDaniel. My great aunt said her mother (Lizzie Watkins, daughter of Marcellus) and their family moved in the 1880s from the Blue Ridge mountains to West Virginia by Conestoga wagon.
Do you have any info about Marcellus and his parents, his mother Nancy McDaniel in particular? I can't find too much on her.
Thanks!
Candy

	Betty, I believe James was Alamanders father. Haven't found the mother yet. Jean
