  • Notes 
    • Resided at Hillgrove, Dorrigo and Merrylands. Death Notice SydneyMorning Herald 21 Jun 1926. Obituary The Don Dorrigo Gazette 9 Jul1926.

      Historical Supplement to the Don Dorrigo Gazette, 27 Sept 1972 "Early Settlement Days" Electoral Rolls 1903 & 1906. David Goodwin Watson was a blacksmith at Vegetable Creek (later called Emmaville) during the period 1876 until 1883. He later opened a blacksmith shopat Hillgrove in the "boom days" and was living and working there in1898 when his father died. He left Hillgrove about 1909 moving first to Wollomombi then to Dorrigo. Two of his sons, Richard and Mitchell, were taught the same trade by their father. David later moved to 36 Liverpool Road, Summerhill, where he died on 21 June 1926 from kidney problems and was buried at Rookwood.

      22 June 2000 :These notes were written by Shirley Brierley, David's granddaughter.The date that David left Hillgrove is definitely incorrect because in1893, when his son Bertram was born the family was already living in Woolomombi where David was a Hotel Keeper.
