I am looking for information on Alsa B. WATKINS who died in Howard County in 1849. Alsa was born in VA but had lived in Henry County since the 1820s.
Specifically I want to know if Alsa or his brother Thomas had a son William J. WATKINS (who was born in 1821 in VA or IN, married Sarah Jane HUDSON in Randolph County in 1845, and lived in Wabash County in 1850 prior to moving to Iowa).
The Thomas WATKINS who bought land in Howard in 1848 might be the son of Alsa or might be Alsa's brother Thomas, or might be the son of Thomas (whose wife was Susanna).
