| Will - Father's* | 26 March 1708 | Director was named in her father's will on 26 March 1708 at Accomack Co, VA. In his will James Smith, wife Ellinor, named sons Thomas, John, James (all under 18) and daughters Director, Joyce and Comfort (all under 14), and brothers Thomas Smith & Daniel Gore.1 |
| Marriage* | circa 1727 | She married John (of James of Wm I) Twiford, son of James Twiford and Joan (-----), circa 1727 at Northampton Co, VA. No mention of a Dirctor Twiford was found in N'hamp or Accomack County records before her marriage to Moses Watson 1 Jan 1730/31. It therefore seems likely that she was the young widow of John Twiford, who Whitelaw shows died intestate after giving a bond to sell his part of tract A123 to Jacob Dewey in 1730 and was succeeded by a son James Twiford who exchanged this land with Richard and Tabitha Johnson in 1750. The assumption at this point (lacking further proof or dis-proof) is that she was Director Smith, the daughter of James & Ellinor Smith. This is based on the simple fact that Director is a very unusual named and there are almost no other choices based on the records available to date and she is the right age and in the general geographic area.2 |

Robert Watson III1
M, b. circa 1690, d. before 29 January 1751

| Birth* | circa 1690 | Robert was born circa 1690 at Accomack Co, VA. |
| Will - Father's* | 22 November 1708 | Robert was named in his father's will on 22 November 1708 at Accomack Co, VA. Sons Robert & Peter were left land on the north side of Occohannock Creek. Since sons Benjamin & Moses were the only sons shown as under age 18, the assumption is that all the others were at least 18 at the time..1 |
| Marriage* | circa 1710 | He married (-----) (-----) circa 1710. |
| Land inherited* | 1709 | Robert Watson III inherited land in 1709 at tract A13, between Belle Haven & Craddockville, Accomack Co, VA. In 1708 Daniel Sullivant of Stafford County sold his 125 acres to Robert Watson and at the same time the widow of Dormand Silivant, now Elizabeth Hews, also of Stafford, sold to Watson her dower rights in the whole 250 acres. In 1709 Robert Watson left the whole 250 acres to his sons Robert and Peter. In 1711 Peter Watson sold his 125 acres to Dorman Sullivant. This seems strange, as Dormand had never sold his part to the father Robert Watson, so legally it should have been still his. A little later he and Robert Watson Jr., formally divided the 250 acres, but two years later (1713) Dorman Silivant, Inn dweller, sold his 125 acres to Robert Watson, Turner, so it was all together again. In 1751 Robert Watson left the 250 acres to sons Littleton and Robert, the latter to have the home place on the creek.2 |

In 1709 Robert Watson left the whole 250 acres to his sons Robert and Peter. In 1711 Peter Watson sold his 125 acres to Dorman Sullivant. This seems strange, as Dormand had never sold his part to the father Robert Watson, so legally it should have been still his.

(in case the ear mark by the reports of viewers of his cattle appointed by the Court did not appear to be of the same marks as the ears of the said steer killed were of) which ears were presented by the said Capt. Jno Stringer unto the Court; The said viewers accordingly brought into Court the said Savage's marks (which mark appeared not to be the same mark). And also it is confirmed by Jno Savage, his oath that the beast was so marked by him (That was showed unto Capt Stringer & killed by the said Savage. It is therefore further ordered that Tho: Savage shall forthwith make payment unto Capt. Jno Stringer one steer of the same age & bigness according to the judgement of Tho: Dimmor who best knew the former beast so unjustly killed by the said Thomas Savage). 400 pounds of tobacco & Caske, with Court Charges.2 |

This I am able to declare upon oath when I shall be thereunto called. Signed: Jno Savage, 27 Sept 1654.

Watson posted the note, and several persons noticed it. William Major told Watson that he knew of no one who lost such a steer, unless it would be Will. Smith, who was drowned going over the bay about seven or eight years ago. Afterwards the note was posted at the Mattompkin Church; there Capt. Wm. Custis looked at it and said he lost a steer, but the mark was different. Then Watson posted the note at Mr. Stratton's. Again, several people saw it, including Stratton and Capt. John Wallop, whose lost steer had a different mark. Wallop said he would go to Watts' pen and look at the animal, but he failed to do so. A while later, during killing time, Watts asked Watson and Guillam Vannettson to appraise the steer. Vannettson thought the steer was about five years old and might weigh 80 or 90 pounds a quarter when it was dressed. Saying it was better to over-value the steer, Watson suggested that they allow 100 pounds per quarter; 50 or 60 pounds tobacco would neither "make him or undo him." After allowing 50 lbs for the hide and 100 for the tallow and belly, the total came to 550 lbs. Watson told Watts that he should nail up the ears in some public place around his house "in view of all comers and goers." This was done. "If there be anything omitted by (me) that ought to be done according to law that is not inserted here, it is (my) ignorance and want of better judgment in law affairs. They are contentious, covetous and malicious persons that hath informed your worships with a parcel of untruths." Signed and sworn in open court on 16 December 1680, by Robt. Watson, Sr., and Guslin Venettson.3,25 |

| Deposition named in* | 18 September 1688 | He was named in a deposition on 18 September 1688 at Chincoteague Island, Accomack Co, VA.

There they came upon a piece of clear ground with a house three board lengths long and built "upon posts." Collins spent a night in the house and noted that the corn growing there had been tended and weeded a short time before. There was about an acre of cleared ground protected by a "good brush fence." Collins knew it was done by Thomas Welburne or at his orders, being a neighbor. It was seated when Mr. Robert Sott (sic) lived at Chingoteague; Welburne had come over from the island to his house for provisions for his servants and workers. The weather being bad, Mr. Gore (then Collins' landlord) offered his man John Dean (a waterman) to go over with the provisions; Collins promised to go with him, but Welburne refused, saying he would go himself the next day. Welburne did so, and Mr. Scott went with him. (It was after this that Collins visited the island and saw the work that had been done.) Collins thought it might be eight years since he and Wm. Baugh had gone to the island. Several times since, in the company of John Dean, Peter Watson or his son, Collins had been there and had seen no corn growing. The fence was burned, but the house was standing. When he had first come over fron seating the island, Joseph Thorne told of how "they were very hard put to it and how that the wolves had run away with the porridge pot." Signed and sworn in open court by John (~) Collins.13 |
