 My Watson Family - Joseph Watson (c1825-c1852/60) and Sarah Jenkins (c1831) of NC (Onslow County)
I had read the 1910 census for Reaves Township (which is where Mullins is) and found the Turner's, but not the Watson's, so it occurred to me they moved to Mullins after 1910 but before 1914, so that meant they were probably in NC in 1910 and earlier.
Since Ransom Township bordered Brunswick County, I thought I'd check there, and I didn't find him there either, though there were several Watson families there, including some in Northwest Township, which bordered Ransom Township in Columbus County.
I checked some records and found out that the area known as Ransom Township was part of Brunswick County prior to 1877, and in that year it was annexed to Columbus.
