    On 26 July 1843, John Watson "of the County of Sevier and State of Tennessee" sold 50 acres of land "lying in the County of Haywood on the waters of Oconalufty River West Fork on a branch formerly called Davidrun branch" to James Holland Bradley "of the County of Haywood, North Carolina" for $75.00.

    John Watson took his family back to the Oconalufty River area in Haywood County, North Carolina for a while. They were listed in the 1850 Federal Census of Haywood County, North Carolina.
