3 Reverend
(Methodist-Episcopal) Elisha Watson (photos) (more info)
A.
Elisha’s birth: 15 February 1822 at Middletown (later surrounded by the community
of Half Moon), Saratoga County, New York (on the north shore of the Mohawk
River between Troy and Schenectady).
Elisha’s
death: 11 January 1879 from complications of diabetes at the home of his son,
John Clark Watson, in Schenectady, Schoharie County, New York. He was, at the time, in route to Ohio in
search for an effective treatment of that malady; interred 13 January in Vale
Cemetery (lot K-82), Schenectady.
B. Other biographical notes on Elisha:
1. Attended the local
schools at Middletown, New York, as well as an Academy at Galway’s Corners,
preparing to be a school teacher. Taught
school for 5 years.
2. Joined the
Methodist-Episcopal Church at the age of 18 (1840). Preached locally starting 1844, and became a
traveling preacher in the Brunswick circuit, along with William A. Fraser, in
1846. In 1847 he moved to Keene for one
year. Then, in succession, two two-year
pastorates at Saranac, Moore’s, Seward, Knox, Arbor Hill, Albany, Seward again,
Gloversville, Plattsburgh. Then he spent
a year at Amsterdam, and three at Jonesville.
About 1866 (age 51) Elisha was elevated to Presiding Elder for the
Saratoga District for 4 years followed an assignment in Greenwich, New York
(1872 – 1875), where he was pastor of the Centenary Methodist Church. Next, he became Presiding Elder for the
Burlington County, Vermont District, residing in Brandon, but after less than a
year in that post he was diagnosed with diabetes and forced to retire (Apr
1876) for health reason. He moved his
family back to Greenwich, New York.
3. After his retirement
Elisha boarded a train to visit his brothers, John and Benedict, in California
for several weeks. By this time, it had
probably been some 25 years since Elisha and John had seen each other. One of Elisha’s 1879 obituaries mentions this
trip, describing it as so apparently restorative that some wondered if he might
be able to return to his ministry.
People said Elisha worked far too hard, and that his tireless devotion
to the church and congregation, even in an unofficial role, contributed to his
death at age 56.
3. He kept his farm in great
repair. It was still a show place in
1878.

2. Harriet’s birth: July 1825 at
Malta, Saratoga County, New York. Her obituary
says she was born in July 1825 at Malta, New York; someone corrected several
things in one copy of that obituary, including: born May 1825 (also see 1900 US
Census, below) and married 1843.
However, Harriet’s gravestone indicates she was born in 1827.
