• Notes

  from "U.S., French Catholic Church Records", St Louis (Ancestry.com) John Watson was born 18 Dec 1822 to Ring-Rose C Watson and Francis Mahan. Baptised on 16 Mar 1823. Grandparents are Richard Joseph Wilkinson & Winnefred Lyggens. from "The St. Louis Post-Dispatch", 12 Dec 1900 (newspapers.com) The funeral of Capt. John A. Watson, the first sheriff of St. Louis County, was held Wednesday morning from his late residence, 1924 Laflin street, and at Saint Theresa's Church. Capt. Watson, who was nearly 78 years old, was a native of St. Louis and a veteran of the Mexican war, and went to California in 1849. While in that state he served a term as district judge. At one time Capt. Watson owned, through inheritance from his father, land which is now valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars, including much of the best business property in Wellston and the suburb of Hillside, beside large tracks of farm land in St. Louis County. In his later life he suffered heavy business reverses, but met all his obligations in full. He leaves a widow and 7 children.
