Watkins-3340 and Watkins-623 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate. Mary is mentioned as Mary Anderson in her fathers will (Edward Watkins). Many people have her married to John Clay who was first married to Mary's sister Sarah. This John Clay later married a daughter of his sister (Martha Bass nee Clay) who was John Clays niece
