VII. LUKE WATSON, COMMONWEALTH BUILDER

This renowned, distinguished, original patentee of the Elizabethtown grant belonged to many colonies of the Period, notably, Connecticut, Long Island, (N. Y.), New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania, and as an influential citizen, during each place of residence, and a public official of prominence, he made a definite and certain contribution to those Great Beginnings of American History, in all of which his career shown forth most brilliantly in New Jersey and Delaware. Balanced against his popularity at E., he can be justly called the founder of Whorekill, (Delaware).

He received a conveyance of land, at E., under survey, "Jan. 21, 1676, LUKE WATSON, 400 acres." In 1666, he was made Constable of Middlesex County, which entitles him to be designated as sheriff of that jurisdiction.
(CLAYTON, U. & M. pp. 58 and 177).

"Aug. 24, 1668, LUKE WATSON, was commissioned Lieut. of military company, at E., then organized of which John Woodruff was Ensign," (idem, p. 52).

He gave the name to "LUKE WATSON'S POINT," near E. to which many references in the records, (idem, pp. 26, 29, 31, 34 and 37).

Of course, the best story of his career at E. is in HATFIELD, (sev. ref., and partic. p. 62), which shows that before 1673 his wife was named Sarah).

LUKE WATSON'S ORIGIN:

LUKE WATSON, of Connecticut, Long Island, Elizabeth, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania, was undoubtedly a son of JOHN WATSON, dec'd. bef. 1638, and who had a dau. ANNA WATSON, by a former wife, because his then wife, ELIZABETH, was called "mother-in-law" (step-mother) to ANNA WATSON in 1639, and brother, THOMAS WATSON, since ANNA WATSON was called latter's "niece."

In 1639 the mother, ELIZABETH, was the wife of JOHN GRAY at Quinapeage (L), i.e. New Haven, Conn.

THOMAS WATSON was a planter, at Duxbury, Mass., Nov. 28 (7) 1639, when about to embark for England.

Nov. 8, 1638, ELIZABETH WATSON, widow, Plymouth, assigned her servant Henry Blagge to THOMAS WATSON, (POPE, p. 482).

LUKE WATSON'S WIVES:

(It is said there was a first one, dau. of BARNABAS WINES, of E., not found by the writer.)

Since LUKE WATSON was certainly m. bef. 1673, in E. N. J., to SARAH, and m. (2) to MARGARET SMITH, dau. of Captain Henry Smith of Delaware, before he m. (3), the widow, of RICHARD PAINTER, formerly of E., he must have had a first (or second) wife, SARAH, now discoverable by the writer to have been an
unknown dau. of ISAAC WHITEHEAD, "CLARKE" of E., who died there and was probably buried in the WHITEHEAD burial plot at E. But, when he reached Delaware, LUKE WATSON, m. (2) before 1682, MARGARET SMITH, dau. of CAPTAIN HENRY SMITH, for, in RECORDS OF SUSSEX COUNTY, (p. 79, foot-note), as "the deft pleads that the Land is his father-in-law, HENRY SMITH." By her he had a dau., Mary, b. as late as 1685, "daughter of Luke and Margaret Watson," (idem, p.137).

In 1687, "SARAH" was SARAH PAINTER, (widow of RICHARD PAINTER, senior). (Idem, p. 137), but soon she became the 3rd wife of LUKE WATSON, for-- "May 9th, 1706. SARAH WATSON, late Widow & Exec of CAPT. LUKE WATSON, Decd and former Widow and Adminx of RICHARD PAYNTER, Senr. Taylor, Decd (Intestate) being Sumoned to this Court at the Complaint of her son, RICHARD PAYNTER * * * (mention made of his Eldest brother JOHN." (Idem, p. 129.) It is very probable that it was this SARAH, who was a dau. of BARNABAS WINES of E., (supra).

It is not difficult to trace the PAYNTER (or PAINTER) relationship, as RICHARD PAYNTER was one of the orig. 80 "Associates" of Elizabethtown, (vide, ante, PART ONE, p. 102), in 1665, together with LUKE WATSON, JOHN GRAY and BARNABAS WINES, all four of whom were interrelated by both blood and marriage. See account of RICHARD PAYNTER in HATFIELD, (p. 88), where he is called "TAILOR," identifying him with the above. (Vide, post, under each of the above names, for further particulars, pp. indic.) The JOHN WINES (or VINES), who appears in the Delaware records was related, a son of BARNABAS WINES of E. Also, the SAMUEL GRAY was a half-brother to LUKE WATSON.

By his first wife, SARAH WHITEHEAD, LUKE WATSON, had, at least four sons, LUKE WATSON, JR., JOHN WATSON, SAMUEL WATSON and ISAAC WATSON (vide, his will, post, p. indic.). By his sec. wife, MARGARET SMITH, he had a dau., MARY WATSON, (supra), and by his third wife, SARAH, he had a dau., ELIZABETH WATSON, (supra), and no doubt, other children, deceased in 1705.

This ELIZABETH WATSON, (supra), became first wife of Thomas Coddington, and as his widow, m. 1700, ANTHONY MORRIS, 2d., of Burlington, N. J., and Phila., (ABRIDG. COMPEND., Vol. I, p. 985; Vol. II, p. 408; and, Vol. III, p. 759).

Notes:

Mrs. David Sutfin, of Hamilton, who, it will be remembered, came near dying some weeks ago from over-work and improper care of an old breach, and who has since been able to move about the house, and considered quite out of danger, died suddenly last Wednesday morning. It was arranged, in order to allow friends from a distance to arrive, to have the funeral at the residence last Saturday; but owing to the change in the weather and the fact that she was a large, fleshy lady, it was found to be impossible to keep the body so long and Thursday night the necessity of an immediate burial became apparent, and accordingly a few of the neighbors were summoned, and the necessary number to perform the solemn duties repaired to the Decatur cemetery after midnight, and buried the remains. Many difficulties were encountered at the grave from the state of the soil, which fell in from both sides as fast as they could dig it out, and curbing was finally resorted to as a necessity. The funeral was then held at the M. E. church in Decatur, on Sunday at 12 o'clock.

Death of M. F. Sickly
The death of Millard Filmore Sickly occurred at his late home in the town of Groveland near the head of Conesus lake opposite Maple Beach Sunday afternoon at 2:40. Mr. Sickly had been in falling health for two or more years, but was confined to his bed only one week. His death was due to cancer of the stomach, which was not suspected until too late for corrective treatment. Mr. Sickly was the youngest son of Robert and Elizabeth Gray Sickly and was one of a family of five children, four boys and one girl, the daughter dying in infancy. He was born January 11, 1852, not far from the home in which he died, just across the way in the home owned by his parents and now a part of Maple Beach property. His oldest brother gave his life in the service of his country during the Civil war. Mr. Sickly was married to Miss Annie Louise Bearss in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bearss, in the town of Livonia on May 22, 1879, and in the following year they went to Kansas to reside. He bought and conducted a large farm there at LaHarpe until in 1905, when he was elected county treasurer and he and his family moved to Iola, the county seat. He served four years as county treasurer, and later, in 1912, came back to New York state and bought the farm home, where he has since resided with the exception of several winters which were spent in Kansas. He was a man of sterling integrity and a successful business man. He was engaged in the general merchandise business for several years at Groveland Corners before his marriage and removal to Kansas.
