Margaret was born of Quaker parents, but did not remain a Quaker. Some of her
Mather and Watson
sons and grandchildren married Quakers later.
"Daniel Lewis' name disappears (1785) and Paschall Lewis appears in
its place. His wife, who was
Margaret Paschall, was a relative of Thomas Paschall, a hatter, of
Philadelphia, who owned a great
amount of wild lands, was married three times…to a man named Watson, by
whom she had Jesse,
James (who built Seebold's mill,), and John Watson, all settlers in the
Valley…((Annals of Buffalo

Thomas Watson and Margaret may have lived in Delaware and/or York County,
Pennsylvania following their marriage.

Notes:
Some records indicate possibility of a fourth son, Lewis, but I cannot
substantiate for certain whether Lewis is son of Jesse or John Watson.
(1769-70) James, Jesse and John Watson, along with their mother, Margaret,
Mather step-siblings, Lewis step-sibling, and step-father, Daniel Lewis, moved
to Buffalo Valley between 1769 and 1770 to land they owned. The Buffalo Valley,
or Penn's Valley, as it was sometimes referred to, was purchased by the Penn's

Notes:
(1769-70) James, Jesse and John Watson, along with their mother, Margaret,
Mather step-siblings, Lewis step-sibling, and step-father, Daniel Lewis, moved
to Buffalo Valley between 1769 and 1770 to land they owned. The Buffalo Valley,

(1773) The Northumberland County Deed books, deed dated April l3, 1773
reflects that Reuben Haines of Philadelphia sold to John Watson of
Northumberland County two of the patent surveys which he had acquired.
(1776) John Watson appears among the inhabitants of Potter Township, who
signed an application for arms and ammunition, Sept 20, 1776.
John Watson, private) among soldiers receiving pay (Northumberland County
in the American
Revolution), Snyder, ed, p. 353)
(1776) John Watson and Leah witness her brother, Jacob Beale's marriage in
York County Pennsylvania (Quaker Marriage Records, York Co., Pa.)
"John Watson, who resided at Huntington Twp., York Co. PA" was a
Lieutenant, Col. Thompson's Battalion of Riflemen, Cap't Michael Doudel's Co.,
later Capt. Henry Miller's Co. Second Regiment, later First Reg't of the Army
of the United Colonies. "He volunteered for action during the Siege of
Boston. Arrived after the siege had ended. First action evening of July 29th,
1775 at Cambridge." (DAR application of Mildred Sheley Volkman dated 8
Dec 1988).
(1778) John's name appears on the assessment of Potter Township 1778-80,
1781, 1783-4, 1785, 1786, and 1787, his assessed valuation being 106.0.0, this
amount being among the ten highest in that
township, and after the ware being further assessed with 2 horses and 3 head
of cattle. This was
footnoted as references from Linn's, History of Centre and Clinton
Counties, pp. 18-23 and the
Northumberland Co. Deed Book A, p. 216.)
(1793-96) Moved from Northumberland County Pennsylvania to Bedford County
Virginia with brother, James.
(1802) Sarah H. Thornhill Estate Inventory dated 4 Feb 1802 in Bedford
County, Virginia lists appraisers as Joseph Holt, Charles Moorman, John

(1808) Land Indenture 30 Apr 1808 Bedford County Virginia recorded Greene
County, Ohio, Josiah Grover, 20 Dec 1808.
(1809) Relocated to Greene County, Ohio. (Records of James Dwinell).
(1831) Sale of land title 14 Jun 1831 in Grantee Index, Vol 13, pp.
419-420 reflects sale of John's land sold in Greene County, Ohio after his
death.
Differing records in above notes would show John to be both in
Northumberland County and In York County during revolutionary times. This may
be possible, because of the "great runaways" from the Northumberland
Territory from 1776 to 1780 as a result of Indian attacks during that time.
People returned to the eastern counties for a few years until things settled
down, then returned to their lands in the west, for example the Mathers', who
returned about 1780. Otherwise, we have two different persons here.

Records of Thomas H. Watson, Evanston, Illinois prepared in the late 1920's
or early 1930's of his great-grandfather Thomas W. Watson reflect that Rebecca
Moorman was daughter of Rebecca Leftwich and Charles Moorman (Paschall

second wife, Nancy Hancock. By Rebecca Leftwich, Charles Moorman had Rebecca and
Rev James Leftwich. Rebecca died, perhaps in childbirth to James or shortly
