Texas
Our Family  
Our branch of the Watson clan began in Scotland many years ago and eventually settled in Texas.   Our grand parents lived in
Montaque county around Saint Jo, Texas.  They migrated to the Texas panhandle somewhere  around 1930 and settled in
Briscoe County.    Our granddad was a cattle buyer and a great horse trader that made many a 'good deal'  to the area ranches
and local folks.  He traded horses with the Pitchfork,  the JA , the Matador  and the Cogdell ranches in the panhandle.  His
name was Judson (Jud) A. Watson and he lived in Quitaque, Texas.     

Our Dad (Virgil S. Watson) worked for 50 years as a cowboy around Texas and New Mexico.  He worked for the Jim Nail
ranch at Albany, Texas and Matador ranch at Matador, Texas.   He was hired to get the
wild cows out of the Theo Giesler ranch in Briscoe county and the land is now the
Caprock Canyon State Park  in Texas.  He also worked several ranches in New Mexico
around Fort Sumner, Santa Rosa and Clovis.

Jimmy and I (Bobby) grew up in Stamford, Texas (
Go Bulldogs) in Jones county and have lived in the panhandle (Amarillo,
Quitaque) and around the Fort Worth/Dallas area.   We annually return home to be a part of the
Texas Cowboy Reunion
(back to return to this site) over the July 4th weekend.

'Watson Acres' are the current residence of Jim and Lynn in the Grandview area a little south of the Metroplex.
