1886. Metcalfe County.

MARCUS L. WATSON was born July 8, 1850, in Hart County, Ky. In youth he 
removed with his parents to Summer Shade, where he now resides. His 
father, Lindsey Watson, was born November 17, 1818, in Green County, 
Ky., where he grew up, and at the age of twenty years removed to Hart 
County, where he lived until 1860, when he removed with his family to 
Metcalfe County, and died December 14, 1884. He was a son of Rev. George 
Watson, who was born in North Carolina. Rev. George was a son of Richard 
Watson, who emigrated from Scotland at an early day, and was a soldier 
in the Revolutionary war; was at the battles of Concord, Lexington, and 
the Cow Pens, besides numerous minor battles and skirmishes, and was one 
of the immortal band who spent the winter with Washington at Valley 
Forge. Lindsey Watson was married, about 1839, to Parthena, daughter of 
James and Letitia (Perkins) Larrimore, of Hart County. From this union 
sprang Arminta (Perkins), Arrissa M. (Tudor), Maracus L., Arrena C. 
(Williams), and Elizabeth T. (Harvey). Maracus L. married, September 21, 
1876, Mary, daughter of William and Mary (Philpot) Hughes. To them have 
been born James T. (deceased), Ida B., Ella and Samuel M.  Mr. Watson 
started first in life as a cabinet-maker.  He afterward became a student 
in the Louisville Medical College, and was for a short time the owner of 
a drug store in Summer Shade. He has now a partnership in a good cabinet 
shop, and also in a first-rate carding-mill.  He is the owner, besides, 
of about fifty acres of well improved and productive land.  In 1882 he 
again engaged in the drug business, but soon returned to his former 
occupation.  His grandfather was a soldier in the Mexican war.  Mr. 
Watson is a member of the Methodist Church, and in politics is a 
Republican.
