Ann Read Watkins

GEDCOM Note

'Ann released as overseer of Seacock Particular Meeting'

It seems strange that it was three years after she had been 'disowned' for 'marrying contrary to discipline' that she would be released from her duties at the overseer of the Seacock Particular Meeting.

Was this because of illness, death, or some other cause?

GEDCOM Note

In the 1810 Census Ann Watkins is listed between Reuben Watkins and James Watkins who would have been her sons.

There is one female listed who was 45 or older which would be the right age group for Ann who would have been 56 at that time.

With her are listed another woman between the ages of 26 thru 44 and a girl and a boy both under the age of 10. She had three daughters whose birth dates would have made them fall into this age group:

1. Winnifred (b. 1784) can probably be excluded as she appears to have had only one child who was born in 1814.

2. Susannah (b. 1777) can also be excluded as her two children were born after 1810.

3. So this leaves, Sarah Watkins Butler (b. 1776) We have not been able to find an 1810 listing for Sarah and her husband, Daniel. Possibly he was already traveling to Ohio to look for opportunities in that state to which they eventually moved. They had a son, Benjamin, who would have been about six in 1810 and a daughter, Martha, who would have been about two. Hinshaw shows that Daniel, Sarah and their children were transferred by certificate from the Upper MM in Virginia to the Fairfield MM in Ohio in 1809.
