First sentence: Since the days of my early youth, I have taken a keen interest in any narrative that purported to be anything of a "family history" or that had to do with the exploits of those of the name who have lived and died in the years gone by.
Description: Contains prose descriptions of Watkins genealogy, with gleanings and commentary, followed by a formatted genealogy report.  Also gives a limited genealogy of Whitfield and Bryan families.   Contains limited number of pictures of residences and people.
Notes: There are minor inconsistencies between the prose and the formatted genealogy report, as well as a few typos, so it is recommended that this book be used in conjunction with other sources.  For example, on p. 74 Jesse Andrew Lofton is listed without an accompanying number or letter to show his relationship, so one must guess.  On p. 71 William A. Watkins is numbered 6, but this number is a duplicate; however, it falls between 6 and 8, and therefore should be 7.

Further genealogical information about Levin Watkins, his siblings Mitchell and Peter, and the Watkins family, is available on the web through search engines.
