Watts Family Research

As I research my family ancestry I have found out more about my family history that I never knew before. I have become excited with every little piece of history that I uncover about my family. I am still working on my family tree and found some very interesting things about members of my family in my tree that I never knew before I started researching.

One thing is have found is my connection to the Watts family. My grandmother was a Watson which was changed some where down the line from Watts but I am unsure when the change was made. There is so many lines the Watts line goes and my ancestry research is still on going with this line.

I did uncover that my Watts connection does connect with a direct line with Cherokee Indians. So this has peaked my interest even more. I knew that my family has Indian blood and now I have found a great line in my family.

I found a connection the a lower Chickamauga Tribe, which is a lower Cherokee Tribe, through my Watts/Watson line. But here is where my line is kind of unsure about which way it goes. My line is some how connected to Chief John "Young Tassel" Watts who was the nephew of Doublehead Corn Tassel.

Chief John Watts was the son of a British Trader who was also named John Watts. His mother was Wur-Tah Corn Tassel, sister of Doublehead. He was also the Uncle of Sequoyah, who wrote the Cherokee alphabet. Sequoyah's English name was George Gist or Guess. But this is just a few of his family members.

John Watts line is kind of hard to follow because there are more then one John Watts/Watson's down the line. My findings is that John Watts Sr had two son's named John Watts. One was Chief John "Young Tassel" Watts and the other was John Watts aka Old John Watts or Sul-Le-Tesky.

Both of the John Watts that I have found do have the same father but may have a different mother. This is where my research is going slow and where I am kind of stumped by which way my line goes with this line of my family tree but I will keep up with my research until I find which way this line leads.
