From Besse's Sufferings Cha.IV Yorkshire
"George Watkinson, of Scotton, was knockt down and sore beaten in the Steeple-house at Leeds, afterwards haled out, and had his Coat torn from his Back, and was sent to Prison, where he was kept fifteen Days. Also SAMUEL WATSON, of Knight-Stainforth, being concerned to speak in the Steeple-house at Gigglesworth, was pulled down, had his Head broke against the Seats, and was afterward haled out and thrown upon the Ice. The said Samuel Watson, for speaking in the Steeple-house at Leeds, was imprisoned eight Days in a little close Place, without any Thing to lie on. At the same Time, Bartholomew Horner seeing the Justice, who committed Samuel Watson to Prison, in a violent Passion, advised him to be sober, and for that Advice he also was committed to Prison.
I bring this up because of the later relation by marriage of the Wildman & the Watson lines in Bucks County and their known origins with the Blands and the Settle MM.
