Found John / more questions Tennessee, South Carolina, Missouri Watkins

Hello again

I was able to find my John and Emma Watkins in the 1900 census. They were under Watkin without the s. John was born in September of 1867. He's listed as being born in Missouri. His wife, Emma, is listed as being born in Tennessee in December 1869. I did some more research and found a Watkins family living in Lorance, Bollinger county, Missouri in 1870 with a John born in about 1867 so I really think this is my John so his parents would be a Marion or Moses Watkins and Cass? Watkins. I am unable to read the wife's name very well, and the heads name is listed as Marion in one census and Moses in the next.

Marion/Moses was born in 1835 in Tennessee and Cass? in Tennessee as well. Marion/Moses father is also living with them and his name was William born in South Carolina in 1800.

Children of John and Emma Watkins were:
Louis
Kelley?
John
Grace
Pearl

After John died between 1900 and 1910, Emma married a Charles Mizell and had a girl named Anne. Interestingly Grace also married a Mizell but died at a young age in 1922. Emma died in 1924 if memory serves.

Children of Moses/Marion and Cass Watkins:
William
Thomas
John
Sarah
Henry
Evangeline
George
Mary Jane


Does anyone have any ties to this family or any information? Would really appreciate it! Thank You!
