Biography
John was born about 1601.
John Watson married Anne Sorsbee at St Mary in Nottingham in 1628 [1].
Ann died in 1633.
Elizabeth FROST married first 24 June 1634 to John WATSON at St. Peter's Church, Nottingham [1], apparently as second wife [2] (see Lechford's Note-Book p. 199). They had at least three children [citation needed].
He passed away about 1638 (his wife Elizabeth remarried in 1639) in Connecticut [citation needed].
Research Notes
Only some of the children listed here can be substantiated as being part of this family.
- Alice, said to be born 1624 but on doubtful evidence. See notes under her profile. Disputed link.
- Hannah, baptised 1629 d/o John
- Mary, baptised 1631 d/o John
- Margaret, no baptism found in Nottinghamshire
- Robert, born in Essex! No baptism found in Nottinghamshire
- Luke, baptised 1635 s/o John and Elizabeth
- Johanna, year of birth has been changed from 1639 to c1636. No baptism found in Nottinghamshire
- Susannah, baptised 1636 d/o John and Elizabeth
It is also worth noting that there are two earlier children baptised to John Watson in Nottingham - Dorothy (1624), Ann (1626). These may be from an earlier as yet unknown marriage, or they may be a completely different John Watson.
- Not known to be a son of Robert Watson (1570-1637)] and Elizabeth (Pye) Watson (1583-1638)

John Watson does not appear in the Great Migration Directory, which suggests that there is no record of him in New England.

There's no John Watson listed in Families of Old Fairfield. In addition this couple may have had a son John, but not in Nottingham. I think he should be from Robert and Elizabeth (Pye). Objections to disconnecting?
