    They were also listed in the 1840 Federal Census of Haywood County, North Carolina.

    In 1843, John Watson and his family migrated to Sevier County, Tennessee from Haywood County, North Carolina. They were mentioned in church minutes of the August 1843 meeting of White Oak Flats Baptist Church. They joined the church as members by experience.

    On 26 July 1843, John Watson "of the County of Sevier and State of Tennessee" sold 50 acres of land "lying in the County of Haywood on the waters of Oconalufty River West Fork on a branch formerly called Davidrun branch" to James Holland Bradley "of the County of Haywood, North Carolina" for $75.00.

    John Watson took his family back to the Oconalufty River area in Haywood County, North Carolina for a while. They were listed in the 1850 Federal Census of Haywood County, North Carolina.

    Then about 1852, John Watson and his family came again to Sevier County, Tennessee this time for a permanent stay. They lived in 2nd, 11th, and 13th Civil District of Sevier County, Tennessee according to 1860 and 1870 Federal Census. The 1870 Census indicates he was born in South Carolina.

    John Watson died between 1871 and 1880 probably in 2nd Civil District of Sevier County, Tennessee. The place of his burial is not known.

    The LDS Ancestral File lists John's parents as David and Isabelle (Hughes) Watson.
