Granberry / Greenberry Watkins

Chronicle of this board

The Watkins marriage into the later American line

The petitioner named Granberry Watkins as the connecting link from the Keziah Snead × Watkins marriage into the later American generations that produce Bettie Diane Hasty and Dr. Rebecca J. Allen. Public trees write Greenberry Watkins (WikiTree Watkins-9670), son of Benjamin Watkins and Sarah Lamb, husband of Nancy Caroline Cole, father of Benjamin Abner Watkins (1857–1920), grandfather of Henry Porter Watkins (1900–1971). Southern given-name variant of one man.

This board is a loadout for a connecting generation, not a peer. He does not sit in Parliament. He sits in the American paper between a Staffordshire cadet spelling and a Missouri petitioner. DNA matches on Ancestry, MyHeritage, 23andMe, and WikiTree corroborate the trunk.

The certain honour, if the College allows, is a refereed pedigree. It is not a call of the 1313 writ against the three co-heiresses.

Connecting generation, named in the family. Not holder-descent.

Wardrobe

Late-colonial / early-republic cloth in ivory and gold, a dark coat, a gold watch-chain, no coronet. A man of the connecting generations. Invented oil, not a surviving portrait.
