Description / Citation: Photograph of the Robert Watson and Catharine (Anderson) Watson family in front of their home in Holbrook, Center Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania. Pictured [Left-Right]: STANDING - Samuel S. Watson, Smith Watson, Robert Watson, Margaret Watson, Catharine (Anderson) Watson holding Elizabeth (Watson) (Carpenter) Higgins, John Isaac Watson, John Anderson; SEATED - George Washington Watson, Anna Frances (Watson) Church. Photo taken circa 1886, the year of Elizabeth's birth. Original, professional photograph, no photographer listed. The original photo is faded and damaged; an early 1900s reproduction (see Virginia (Watson) Jinkinson Collection item # WATS0001) best preserves the details of the photo. Image TOOK_AN002_0004A has been retouched by Candice Buchanan to remove stains and restore fading; she attests that the no material contents of the photo (i.e. subjects, setting) have been altered. The Watson-Anderson Series photographs were most likely passed from Robert Watson [1847-1942] and his wife, Catharine Anderson [1848-1933] to their daughter Ella May (Watson) Throckmorton [1893-1988] and her husband, Robert Lawrence Throckmorton, Sr. [1889-1964] to their daughter, Katherine Jane (Throckmorton) Toothman who owned and shared the photographs with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Photo Archives Project in 2006. The Watson-Anderson Series is a part of the Katherine Jane (Throckmorton) Toothman Collection.
