Watkins-3076 and Watkins-1496 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same Joseph Watkins b1750, son of unknown, father of Henry Watkins b1777, grandfather of William Hesket I b1804, etc... FYI - He is newly established as a patriot during the American Revolution with the DAR and the SAR.
