1. We know that Lydia Watson's claim in Fayette County, PA was adjacent (West) to Paul Froman Sr' claim is called "Froman's Pleasure" and that Lydia's son James Watson claim was adjacent (South). Below them in Maryland was Jacob Froman Sr's claim called "Bad is the Best of It" (Garrett County, MD), which held onto up 1816.

2. After Jacob Froman Sr's father's death in 1783, Jacob Froman Sr transfers/sales his father's claim called "Froman's Pleasure" to Arthur Watson "Sr" on 8 Sep 1788. (Mary's father)

3. Arthur Watson dies on 6 Mar 1792 (will is probated in Fayette County, PA) his will mentions daughters Mary, Nancy, Hanny (Hannah), sons John, Benjamin, Arthur, and James, and wife Lydia (who dies in 1804).

4 On 20 Jul 1805 Nathaniel Cochran marries Nancy Watson in Bullitt County, KY, "Consent in person by Jacob Froman Junr (the bondman), who has the care of Nancy Watson, being her relation". Nancy had come to live with older sister after the death of their mother.

5. Jacob Froman Jr and Mary "Watson" son James Froman names daughter Mary Watson Froman.

6. Nancy Watson and her husband Nathaniel Cochran, move to Crawford County, Indiana with Jacob Froman Jr and wife Mary (nee Watson), and they live near each other.

7. Benjamin Watson and his wife Sarah Cochran (Nathaniel's sister), marry 22 Jun 1805 Bullitt County, KY, he moves near Jacob Froman Sr. Jacob Froman Sr sells land to Benjamin Watson on 9 Feb 1811 and 5 Mar 1811. On 3 Nov 1825 Jacob Froman's Sr son Elijah Froman sell land to Benjamin Watson (by power of attorney of his mother Barbara, who is listed as a widow).

8. A descendant of James Watson, younger brother of Mary Watson, is DNA match 16cM (5th to 8th cousins). James Watson stayed in Fayette County Pennsylvania, as did his descendants. I find no other family ties to this descendant's family line except the Watson. "Froman's Pleasure" passed from Arthur Watson, to his son James Watson and I find "Froman's Pleasure" still owned by James Watson's grandson until 1 Sep 1870, when it is finally sold
