SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The Virginia (Watson) Jinkinson Collection is a family photograph collection. The earliest photographs date to the 1880s and proceed to follow the family through several generations into the 1950s. The photographs were passed from Robert Watson [1847-1942] and his wife, Catharine Anderson [1848-1933] to their son George Washington Watson [1879-1962] and his wife, Ethel Pearl Sayler [1884-1950] to their daughter Virginia (Watson) Jinkinson [1911-2005] to her daughters Georgia Anne (Jinkinson) Bonesteel and Jill (Jinkinson) Moore 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.

The photographs in this collection were initially arranged by family; however, additional photos continue to be added to the end of the collection as they are shared for scanning. For best results, use the WATS Collection Index to look for specific individuals or subjects.
