I am searching for information / connections related to the following Watters family:

My specific interest is in the daughters (and any other children) and lives of Robert Watters & Annie Clark, seen below, though I am very interested in any other information.

First Generation
John A. Watters b: Abt. 1859 in Dysert, Scotland
+Janet [m.s. Unknown]
John and Janet had three children, as follows:

Second Generation:
Robert Watters b: Abt. 1888
+Annie Clark b: Abt. 1888 m: Abt. 1915
Children of Robert Watters & Annie Clark:
1. Charlotte Watters b: Abt. 1917 in MA
2. Janet Watters b: Abt. 1918

John A. Watters b: Abt. 1891
(no idea if he married, etc)

Grace Watters b: Abt. 1882
+Robert T. Young b: Abt. 1881
Children of Grace Watters & Robert Young:
1. Annie Young b: Abt. 1903
2. Robert B. Young b: Abt. 1906 in MA
3. Grace Young b: June 1908
4. Hester Young b: Abt. 1924
5. Betty Young b: Abt. 1925 in Michigan

What I know is this: Grace Watters, her husband Robert Young and eldest child emigrated from Scotland to Holyoke, MA about 1909-1910. They are living in this city on the 1910 census with three children.

In 1911, two brothers (John and Robert) and their father came over via Ellis Island to meet them, citing the Young address in Holyoke as their destination.

In 1920 I have found only Robert, and wife Annie (m.s. Clark) and one daughter (Clarks are my line) living in Cleveland.

However on the 1930 Census, the Young family is in Michigan with the addition of the two youngest daughters. Robert Watters is back in Holyoke Married to Annie Clark w/ two daughters.

Anyway … if you have anything to add would be glad to have it and would be happy to share. I Have lots of information on the Clarks, Annie Clark had quite a few siblings and lots of cousins, etc.

Thanks,
