Notes for Hiley Watson:
       Hiley Watson was quite a character. She was married on crutches, reared her family on crutches and acted like she did not know that she had a handicap. She did all her housework, which included cooking on an open fire, knitting hose, making soap, weaving cloth, etc. In addition, she played with her children outside. She was a Primitive Baptist and was Baptised on crutches into her church.
       She died in 1896 and had requested that she be buried at the foot of the grave of one Mr. Stubbs in the Centerridge cemetery. He was a friend of the family. She did not want to be buried in the woods.
