1) You show Thomas Watts of Kershaw County, SC as a son of Cornelius Watts (generation 8). It has been proven that the Thomas Watts, son of Cornelius lived and died in Fauquier County, VA. Thomas ran an ordinary there until his death.
We do not know the father of Thomas Watts who died in Kershaw County, SC in 1792.
2) Thomas Watts of Kershaw County may have been married twice, but Tabitha was the second wife and outlived him. His first wife is unknown but died sometime between 1756 and 1766. This is based solely on the fact that there is a gap of 13 years between the first two sons and the third. Such gaps frequently indicate a deceased wife.
The Thomas Watts who married Lydia Thornton is a different person.
1. WILLIAM1 WATTS was born Abt. 1520 in Of Benenden, Kent, England, and died 1563 in Of Sandhurst, Kent, England. He married JOHAN KNOTT Abt. 1545.
