Jackie,
Thanks for the link to how we are related. I remember my mom talking about Zula Watts and I may have even met her. I know I met T.C. and Perry. So we are cousins of some sort...
If you go to rootsweb.com and look under the family tree/database RQLEER you will find answers to many of your questions. I have the documents from Sallie's divorce from William Warfield Watts. Otto Wamel is my grandfather.
Thanks,
Rhea

William Perry Watts married Jessie Alexander. They had six children: Sallie, Zula, Maxine, T.C., Chester, and Perry.
My paternal grandmother was Zula Watts who married J.C. Ellis. They had two sons: J.C., Jr. and Harry Gordon. J.C., Jr. died of a brain tumor at 13. My father was Harry Gordon Ellis. He married Virginia Lee McDaniel. They had four children: Jackie Lee, Danny Joe, Joy Beth and Charles David. Charles is deceased as are both our parents. Joe and Joy both reside in central Texas. I'm in Memphis, TN.
What do you know about Sallie's move to Texas? I know she took Perry with him and he was injured during the journey. His jaw was broken. Family legend reports he was kicked by a horse or mule. Sallie married a Wamel in Texas and had a son, Otto, with him. What happened to her first husband? Did he dessert the family?
Many thanks,
Jackie Ellis Stewart

Georgia and Jackie,
Thanks for your posts re Sallie Ann Chiles. Since I made the original post in 2003, I've been able to find more info on her, a lot of it thanks to the family tree at Rootsweb.com posted by Georgia. I also have court records from Bastrop County, Texas and copies of original documents that my family had.
I finally updated my tree at Rootsweb.com (rqleer) so all the info I have should be there. I did take a break from updating that tree for a while.
Georgia, your post of 28 May 2004 asked for info on Mary Flemming Watts. Most of what I have came from you. You were also looking from some of Perry's children. The only one I remember meeting was T.C. Watts because he looked so much like my grandfather Otto "Toto" Wamel. T.C. is a step-nephew to Toto so they must have gotten their looks from Sallie Ann. They both had snow white hair, slightly wavy and very thick. They were of large, muscular build and had faces weathered from the elements. I know that I have talked with Perry on several occasions but I don't remember meeting him. I may have at some of the family funerals. Perry would also be a step-nephew to Toto.
Jackie, how do you fit into the family tree? If Sallie Ann was also your GGM, you must come from the Watts line.
