  • Notes: 

  • George Watson was not the son of a Robert Watson of Plymouth or Windsor. Robert Watson did not exist. Nor is there any connection between George Watson and John Watson of Roxbury. These claims should be ignored as there is no truth to them. (See Robert Charles Anderson's The Great Migration Begins 1:3:2103.)
