Lewis WATKINS Capt.⁽¹²⁵⁶⁾ was born between 1836 and 1838 in Pennsylvania.⁽⁸⁶²⁸⁾ 1850 Census gives age as 14, implying a birthdate of 1836. He appeared on the census on 31 Jul 1850 in East Bethlehem, Washington Co, Pa.⁽⁸⁶²⁹⁾ He served in the military on 1 May 1863 in Folly Island, SC.⁽⁸⁶³⁰⁾ Enlisted in Co E, 85th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, to a 3 year term. Mustered into service as a Captain on 1 May 1863 at Morris Island, SC. He died on 26 Sep 1864 in Ft. Monroe, Va..⁽⁸⁶³¹⁾⁽⁸⁶³²⁾ Died of wounds received at Deep Bottom, VA on August 16, 1864, as his final service as Captain of Company E, 85th Infantry of Virginia. Lewis mustered in on October 15, 1861, was promoted from 1st Lt on 6 Sep 1862. Brief history of the 85th is a part of the source. He was buried in Watkins family farm. Watkins family owned and lived on a farm near West Brownsville, PA, just off Route 40 or the National Pike. Lewis is buried on that farm. Lewis Watkins died a Union captain in the Civil War. His obelisk grave marker still exists on land located on the original family farm, now a small rural-suburban development. John Watkins spoke with the man who purchased the last parcel of land owned by a Watkins and who at one time saved Lewis' grave marker from a collector wanting to purchase it. Other Watkins graves are located adjacent to Lewis'. However, their markers are long-gone. John had a video made with a Civil War historian who narrated as he guided me across the battlefield upon which Lewis was mortally wounded in August of 1864. His regiment, the 85th Pa Volunteer Infantry, suffered poor generalship throught their war-long service. Parents: Richard WATKINS and Elizabeth SMITH.

He was married to Mary Eliza CRISSINGER on 31 Mar 1864 in McKeesport, Allegheny County, PA. They were married in the Chrissinger home, according to the marriage account in the possession of John Watkins. John comments that Carrol Township is just outside of his residence in Monongehela and would be in the proximity of the Momomgahela River and boats galore. As would be West Brownsville. John surmises that the Chrissingers and Watkins met up in West Brownsville. The Watkins always were there with many buried, including Lewis. The Watkins family in Pa were usually farmers and not associated with the river.
At the time of her marriage, Mary's parents were living in McKeesport, Allegheny County, Pa, according to the marriage documents in the possession of John Watkins.

Rebecca WATKINS⁽⁸⁶³³⁾ was born in 1834 in SC.⁽⁸⁶³⁴⁾ 1850 Census lists NC as birthplace. She appeared on the census on 31 Oct 1850 in Union Co, Ga.⁽⁸⁶³⁵⁾ She appeared on the census on 5 Jun 1880 in Skeinak, Fannin Co, Ga.⁽⁸⁶³⁶⁾

She was married to Aaron WARREN on 10 Sep 1849 in Union Co, Ga.⁽⁸⁶³⁷⁾ Children were: Lucsia WARREN , Hiram WARREN, Simpson WARREN, Jon WARREN, Andrew Jackson WARREN, Eliza WARREN, James WARREN.

Richard WATKINS⁽¹²⁵⁶⁾ was born in 1796 in D.C..⁽⁸⁶³⁸⁾ He appeared on the census on 31 Jul 1850 in East Bethlehem, Washington Co, Pa.⁽⁸⁶³⁹⁾ Richard as a youth learned the carpenter trade. He was a man most astute in his business dealings. Among his first profitable ventures was the leasing of the only ferry across the Monongahela River between West Brownsville and Brownsville. You can find Brownsville on a map of southwestern Pa. From Brownsville, go in on US Rt 40 to itsw intersection with Rt 88. Near there is the former Watkins family farm and many former farms and enterprise locations subsequently established by Watkins children, including Cornelius. Richard's ferry was leased from the Gillepspie family. He handed this form over to Cornelius. He next bought a farm fronting the Monongahela River at the present site of the tiny community of Denbo. On this farm he built a stone house. This is the farm he gave to his son Solomon. On this farm was a grist mill operated by water power near the site of Rainbow Gardens on Rt 88. Richard also operated a saw mill on this farm, run by steam power. Parents: Thomas WATKINS.

Children were: Cornelius (Neal) WATKINS , Lewis WATKINS Capt., Elizabeth WATKINS.

He was married to Susan SMITH . Susan was Richard's first wife. After her death, he married her sister Elizabeth. Children were: William WATKINS, John WATKINS, Solomon WATKINS, Eliza WATKINS.

Sarah WATKINS was born on 4 Mar 1830 in Pennsylvania.⁽¹⁷⁸⁶⁾ The 1850 and 1860 Washington county census both give ages that indicate a birthyear of 1830.

Daughter Emma's death certificate gives Sarah's birthplace as Maryland. She appeared on the census on 29 Aug 1850 in Carroll Twp, Washington Co, Pa.⁽⁸⁶⁴⁰⁾ She appeared on the census on 21 Jul 1860 in West Brownsville, Washington Co, Pa.⁽⁸⁶⁴¹⁾ She appeared on the census on 19 Jul 1870 in Flint River Twp, Des Moines Co, Ia.⁽⁸⁶⁴²⁾ She appeared on the census on 1 Jul 1880 in Flint River Twp, Des Moines Co, Ia.⁽⁸⁶⁴³⁾ She died in Jul 1904 in Burlington, Des Moines Co, Ia.⁽¹⁷¹²⁾ Surname WATKINS appears on daughter Emma's death certificate. This answers some questions about the relationship of the WATKINS name to the Chrissingers. However, it is not clear if Sarah was related to Lewis Watkins, husband of Mary E Chrissinger. My research indicates that Watkins surname was present in Washington county since at least the War of 1812. One John Watkins was an early resident of Monogahela city, which was on up the river a ways in the county. There are references to an Ann Watkins, sister of "the late Elias and John Watkins" who was the first wife of Abraham Van Vorhis, a well known Washington county resident. Elias Watkins apparently owned a foundry in Monogahela City. There are also references to a John Watkins of Richmond in Ray county, Mo as having been a member of the "Williamsport Rangers" during his time in Washington county.

Said to have been of Welsh descent, by LuLu Hanna. Lulu also wrote that Sarah "was orphaned at an early age, made her home part of the time at least, with a brother in Wheeling, West Virginia. Did dressmaking and other sewing before married. One of her brothers started out in the 1849 gold rush but never got to California. Some sort of accident happened to him on hte way (fell from a wagon or something) anyway died on the trip.
