Tim, ah, to be fair it did have 'agr lab' in brackets after 'beggar' so hopefully at age 80 he did menial jobs for food. Sad ending to a long life. It says he was born in Ireland - grandson Henry is a Watterson in 1851. I don't think they are related to 'my' Watterson branch but it's hard to know without knowing the parents of Ann's future husband William. K
