So Watkin's poor sister Angelina Thomas is the unfortunate one to have married David Cutler. He committed crimes under the alias Daniel Corbett and and lived with a Benjamin Corbett later in life.

Never have figured out if Corbett is blood related.

Kinda drifting from Daniel Craig and his uncanny resemblance to me though...

Daniel was convicted of feloniously killing pigs.

Don't laugh so hard Rob! It's embarrassing when your teeth shoot across the room.

And I would expect more from you DT. After all your husband is a 25th cousin 12x removed!

Mark, What do you mean "that side of the family" ?,You know nothing of my husbands family. He is only related to Julia because she married into his family. Her husband was a good man and gave to the poor because he never forgot his roots. He might have been a little crooked because he did illegal betting in his youth. Carl Chin ,if you know who he is ,has wrote about Watty in glowing terms. I thought it was nice to find someone on here who was part of my family however distant, but you obviously do not. :( Dt Ps I do find Rob's remarks funny ,but that has nothing to do with you .

Relax DT!

I am having a bit of fun!

Taking what I say seriously is not a good idea.

Those Thomas are only related to me by marriage.

We are talking about my Cutler line here which is one of the 4 major lines in my family and I am more than fond of them!!! (Even though they all lived within a few feet of each other, had huge families and named their children the same and all married a Mary or John.)

If I was worried about minor criminals I would have trouble with my wife who has 7 convicts in her direct line. :P
