Information on Joseph Watson

"From A history of Shenandoah County, Virginia", by John Walter Wayland, pg. 161:

About four miles from Strasburg on Capon Grade is an old log house owned by Mr. Cornelius F. Mowery, in which six generations of the same family have been born. The names and dates are to be found in an old Bible there, printed in 1812. Mr. Joseph Watson is the first record known to have lived there, born December 6, 1749; next Daniel Boehm, July 2, 1757; and the last one, Tillmer Stickly, born September 11, 1909.
