In my family file I have the following:
Daniel Vorhees Watts b: Feb. 07, 1869 d: March 12 1935 married
Mary Elizabeth Miller b: Aug. 09, 1872 d: Nov. 05, 1957
They had the following children:
First Child Watts - Died in infancy
Ethel Genevieve
James Henry
Daniel Cedric
Samuel Harvey
Raymond Earl
Doris Lucille
I'm sure they fit in this family we're all talking about somehow.

Jan,
Could you possibly tell me if your Daniel Voorhees Watts has
Conover grandparents of Terre Haute, Vigo Co. or back in NJ? I am searching
for the parents and siblings of William Conover and Catherine ? and
Catherine's true last name..
For Catherine we have many last names on death certificates and
military records from the Civil War. Some are Wartt , Worth, West which are
all similar to Watts when pronounced.
We know William was born in Cranbury, New Jersey in 1816, Catherine in
Canton Glauris , Switzerland. They married in Rahway,NJ, and moved
immediately to Cincinnati . From 1840-1856 with her brother Marcus ? .
Marcus was the owner or worked at Union Transfer Co. This was a drayage.
Both William and Catherine died in Terre Haute as did my great -grand
father ,Ralph L. Conover. We can not find anything on Marcus , but the
first name was given to different children in the next 2 generations ,
Conover and Greenleaf.
The Voorhees and Conover families are intermarried in Monmouth County,
Mercer, Middlesex, Essex and Union Counties, and we find them again in IN.
Thanks for your help . Marie Reedy
