  Born	Abt 1823	Louisiana   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Scott Watkins (firedogger@gmail.com) showed that she married first a CANNON and later a CONSTABLE, an Englishman. She was NOT the Mary Ann Watkins that married Amon P. Morris. Mary Ann Watkins Morris was instead the daughter of Alfred Watkins. Scott notes that on the 1850 Sabine County, Texas census Mary Ann and Daniel Cannon are listed. Mary Ann is shown as age 28, born ca 1822. Their son, Green B. Cannon is enumerated with them. In 1860 Mary Ann can be found in Sabine Parish, Lousiana, age 28, and living with her second husband, Thomas Constable. Her son, now listed as Greenbury, is living with them at age 11.

  Father	Green Berry Watkins,   b. Abt 1798, Georgia ,   d. Yes, date unknown
  Mother	Elizabeth Smith,   b. Abt 1801, North Carolina ,   d. Aft 1870  (Age ~ 70 years)
  Married	According to a Conveyance Record CBK G P. 523, Elizabeth Watkins states that she and her husband came to Sabine County, Texas in 1825. This is dated January 15, 1878. In 1840, Green B. Watkins is listed in the 1840 Natchitoches Parish census with 6 female children and 3 male children. On page 87, Casagranda cites a record dated January 15, 1878 showing that "Mary A. Constable, Elizabeth, wife of John B. Carroll, Jane, wife of Nathan Cook, Matilda C. Flanakin and Susan Williams, all of Sabine Parish, Nancy Easley of Sabine County, Texas, and William W. Watkins of San Augustine County, Texas deeded Sabine Parish land to Daniel S. Watkins of Nacogdoches County, Texas, who is to take and support our sister, Amanda Watkins who is permanently diseased and helpless." All were heirs of G. B. and Elizabeth Watkins, deceased. (CBK J, P.258). This establishes who their children were. In December, 2010, Scott Watkins (firedogger@gmail.com) emailed that "The statement "6 female children and 3 male children" is true. But on the 1840 census, Amanda hasn't been born yet. She was born after the 1840 census in 1841. By the next year, Green Berry and Elizabeth had 7 daughters and 3 sons. The missing daughter is "Mary A." Constable listed above."
