      Major Jessee Ford, the eldest son, represented the district in the Legislature in the twenties—I do not know the precise date.* [* Jessee Ford was elected a Representative in 1820. See list of Representatives in latter part hereof.] He was Major in the militia ; his first wife was a Miss Townsend, of Robeson County, N. C. ; by her he had two sons, the late Elias B. Ford and Allen Ford ; his second wife was a Miss Watson, a daughter of Scarcebook Watson, above Nichols, on the road from Nichols to Lumberton, N. C. by the second wife he had several sons and daughters ; the sons, as their names are remembered, were Watson, Jessee, Thomas, David and Charles Ford. ;

      ...
      There was another family of Watsons in what is now known as Hillsboro Township, and of whom something has already herein been incidentally said. Seacebook Watson came from Virginia, and settled on the road leading from Nichols to Lumberton, N. C, more than one hundred years ago; he succeeded well in life, raised a large family, sons and daughters; the sons, Michael, Thomas and John R., were known to the writer. Michael and Thomas went to North Carolina, married sisters. Smithy and Kitsey Ham, very excellent women, and each raised respectable families; they were just across the line, and many of their descendants are now in South Carolina. John R. Watson, the youngest son, married Miss Sallie Ford, who had the phenomenon of a black eye and a blue one; they lived on the old homestead of his father, and had a large family of four sons and several daughters. John R. Watson died in middle life, and left his widow and children, many of them small ; the widow managed well and raised her family respectably, and died a few years ago ; some of them are now in the county, and among our best people. If all these Watsons and their thrice multiplied connections, hereinabove referred to, were destroyed, it would cut a mighty swathe in our county population. There may be, and perhaps are, some few families larger or more numerous, but not many — the name will not soon become extinct. ;
