I just wanted to let
you know how much I enjoyed all the photos posted on your site, especially
those attributed to the R P Watts studio in Lott. I have a photo
of a Murphy ancestor that was taken in that same studio with the same
backdrop.
There was a Watts
family closely connected to the Murphy family I research, so I wondered if R P
might be one of those. Sure enough, he came from the same
county, Butler, in Alabama. I don't know if anyone is interested in R P
Watts, but I found the following on the LDS 1880 online census at
familysearch.org.
