!NOTES:I found a book on this family at the New Hanover County Public Library in Wilmington, NC (2011):
"Descendants of William and Rebecca Liles Watson and Allied Families" Compiled by Helen Turk Watson, 2000.
The book was very well done. Our information agrees for the most part. She has much more than I do on the more recent parts of the family and has other information that I don't have.

Her contact info was included:
