H. Rogers & Son, Photographers, Waynesburg, Pa. Physical Detail: To Be Added Date: circa early 1880s Caption: Unidentified (See Description below for more information.)

Description / Citation: Handwritten inscription on back of photograph reads, "Lonnie Watson," but this may not be an identification. If the inscription indicates Alonzo H. Watson [1894-1939], who was a son of Jacob Weaver Watson [1867-1941], then he cannot be the subject. This photograph dates circa the early 1880s, which means the birth of the subject is likely circa the 1860s. This man is more likely of Jacob Weaver Watson's generation than his son's. Photographs of Jacob Weaver Watson and his brothers do not appear to match, but photographs have not yet been provided for many of Jacob's cousins. Original, professional photograph from J. H. Rogers & Son, Photographers, Waynesburg, Pa. The Roger Glenn Doty Collection photographs were passed from Henry Watson [1845-1916] and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Weaver [1846-1924] to their daughter Tennie Lee (Watson) Doty [1888-1969] to her son Wilbert Glenn Doty [1921-1981] to his son Roger Glenn Doty who owned and shared the photographs with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Photo Archives Project in 2007. Each generation added to the collection with photographs from their own family and in-laws.
