Descendants of John Watt

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN¹ WATT was born in Ireland or Scotland, and died Bef. August 29, 1905. He married ELIZABETH(BETTY) ORNEILL Bef. 1869 in Ireland.

Notes for JOHN WATT:
Anna Robinson Bozzo and Mary Robinson Casale believe that John's father was James Watt, a scientist and inventor of the electric light bulb. He supposedly "lit up Belfast".

He was Scottish and all the money he made from his invention was supposedly confiscated by the British government, although no one knows why, or what the fortune was worth. The surviving descendants never pursued it.
