Does anyone have information about Meservey, Iowa? Send e-mail to fmeserve@flashnet.com On 16-Aug-1999, Dean Meservy writes: Hello, cousins! I'm descended from a much later Jersey Island emigrant to America, Josue Messervy (1807-71) and his wife Jeanne Robert (1811-94), who settled in Idaho. But I hope I can still get in on the benefits of this great web site and meet some family, however distant. I probably can't help with family research as much as some of the others, but here is my direct Messervy ancestry, beginning with my great-great-grandparents, as far back as I have it. They were all born in St Jean or (before 1500) St Saviour, Jersey Island.

The oldest of the Watson children was about 15 in 1850, leading one to believe that Abigail (?) Meserve married James C. Watson in the early 1830s. William Henry Meserve married Emily Runnells, daughter of Samuel and Charity (Davenport) Runnells, on October 23, 1850, in Winslow, Maine. As William Henry Watson he married Hattie Butterfield October 18, 1876. William Henry (Meserve) Watson died in Waterville, Maine, date unknown at present. In 1856 William Henry Meserve legally changed his last name to "Watson" for the following reason: "When I was an infant my father died. I was always known by my step-father's name, but legally I had to sign my name as Meserve." (Maine Legislative Acts of 1856, Chapter 627.) I would be very interested in finding out William Henry's birth father and Abigail's maiden name. Of course it is always possible that William Henry Meserve was a "natural" child, and that Meserve was Abigail's name. Information regarding Abigail (?) Meserve: Born 1801 in Maine according to the 1850 census. Died February 23, 1874, in Winslow, Maine (as Abigail Watson).
