Hi Arlene!!
Frank Skinner (deceased April 2001 and greatly missed by lots of people doing Watchorn research) sent me the copy of the Irish Family History Society magazine with the article in. Their address is
P.O. box 36, Naas, Co. Kildare.
Robert Watchorn's father John was the son of William, a cowkeeper. Sadly this could be the William killed by a bull in 1830 and buried in Leighlin. Dangerous work cowkeeping!
Robert married Alma Jessica Simpson of Columbus Ohio in 1891. They had a son, Emory Ewart Watchorn, and I believe there are living descendants.
Regards,
Barry
