The DNB and the pedigree in MGH state that no. 1 died at Fife House, Whitehall, but CP gives his place of death as Coombe Wood, which is supported by The Times of 5 Dec 1828.
The parentage of William Watts (no. 6) is not clear. Edwards-Stuart
states that William was son of “Thomas and Susannah of Enfield Chase”. The
biography in The History of Parliament of Thomas Watts (d 1742) of
Enfield Chase, Middlesex, states that he married Susannah, daughter of Benjamin
Gascoyne of Chiswick and sister of Sir Crisp Gascoyne, lord mayor of London. However, Thomas Watts and
Susannah Gascoyne were apparently married in 1729 and
William Watts (no. 6) is said to have been born in 1722. William may have been
a son of a previous wife of Thomas Watts, though Susannah Gascoyne
is the only wife mentioned for Thomas in The History of Parliament. P.J.
Wallis, “Thomas Watts: Academy Master, Freemason, Insurance Pioneer, MP”, History
of Education Society Bulletin, 32(Autumn 1983):51-53, writes that Thomas’s
will “is disappointingly brief, charging his wife Susannah with the maintenance
and education of their two sons (not named, but known to be Thomas and Hugh,
who made their careers in the Sun); his brother William, who helped with the
Academy and at the Sun, is not even mentioned.” In P.G.M. Dickson, The Sun Insurance Office, 1710-1960 (London,
1960), Thomas's brother William is stated to be the William who was
father-in-law of Charles Jenkinson. If this and the
paternity given for Thomas in The History of Parliament are correct,
then William was a son of William Watts of Shanks House, Cucklington,
Somerset. Further information on Thomas and William
Watts is given in L.B. Namier, "Brice Fisher,
M.P.: A Mid-Eighteenth-Century Merchant and his Connexions" in English
Historical Review, 42(1927).
