    Notes 
    • In Kathy Casagranda's 1850 Sabine Parish Census, she cites Mary Watkins as being the daughter of Joseph W. Watkins and Mary Smith of Sabine County, Texas on page 79 of her book. Later, on page 87, she indicates that she was likely a daughter of G. B. Watkins and his wife, Elizabeth, and that Mary Ann later married into the Constable family (sic).

      Tim Willingham and Bettye Wagstaff don't think this is correct, nor does Scott Watkins (firedogger@gmail.com). In December, 2010 he emailed that:

      "Green Berry's younger brother Alfred L, only had two daughters and no sons. The oldest daughter was Mary Ann, who married Amon P. Morris and her younger sister Drucilla Cordelia who married 1) White and 2) Partin. Both Mary Ann(s) are used back in forth between the family lines as well as William W. and Nancy. I started out to prove I was a descendant of Alfred L., only to find out I belong with Green Berry instead."

      The 1840 Natchitoches Parish census shows:
      J. B. Watkins 0111001000000 222001000000 1 3 1
      A. L. Watkins 0000010000000 002001000000
      The J. is a G. (census writers?) Both brothers are on the same page, just 10 lines apart. J. B. has 4 males and 7 females. A. L. has 1 male and 3 females. Later census shows Alfred with the same numbers and Green Berry with another daughter.

      Ann McElhaney emailed, in March 2014, that "Mary Ann Watkins Morris died on November 21, 1892 and is buried on private land in Grosebeck, Limestone Co, Tx where it appears there was a small cemetery that has been hit by a small tornado. Mary Ann's grave was the only one with the stone intact and standing, I had to stoop down under trees and step over brush to get there and as I lifted my head, she was facing me as if to say, 'I'm here, I've been waiting for you to find me.' Truly there was great rejoicing on my part. "
