  Notes	There is a quite major disconnect concerning one of Watson and Frances' children as listed at www.cottagehill.com. This source has 9 children attributed to Watson and Frances, including Joseph Warren Minter Sr, born 1823 - 1827, Virginia. Another source, Don Chamberlayne, has Joseph Warren Minter as the son of Silas and Nancy (Stultz) Minter. I (John Minter) am omitting Joseph Warren from the list of Watson and Frances' children (but am including the other 8). The 1840 United States Federal Census of Henry County list Obediah MINTER as the head of a family comprising 2 males 5 - 9 years, 2 males 10 - 14 years, 1 male 20 - 29 years, 1 male 40 - 49 years, 1 female under 5, 1 female 5 - 9 years, 1 female 15 - 19 years, 1 female 40 - 49 years and 1 female 50 - 59 years. 1850 United States Federal Census of Henry County (done on 27 July 1850) (all MINTER except Polly COVINGTON), Obediah (55, farmer), Fanny (52), Polly COVINGTON (70), Joseph (23, no occupation, idiot), James F (21, farmer), Obediah E (19, farmer), Sarah F (17), Daniel S (16, farmer), Elizabeth A (12) and Jane (10).
