  • Notes 
    • Ann Sotcher was born March 24, 1710, in Falls Township, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, a daughter of John Sotcher and Mary (Loftus) Sotcher. Ann's first husband was Mark Watson, born 1696, in Cumbria, England, a son of Thomas Watson and Rebecca (Marke) Watson. Children of Ann and Mark include:

      Joseph Watson, born May 25, 1729, in Falls Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, died December 26, 1805, in Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, married Rachel Croasdale, on January 19, 1757 [1]

      Ann Watson, born November 26, 1733, in Buckingham, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, died May 7, 1806, in Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, married Jonathan Palmer (1729-1783)

      Mark Watson died February 9, 1749. On March 23, 1753, at the Falls monthly meeting of Friends (aka Quakers) in Fallsington, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, Ann married her second husband, James Moon, the eldest child of Roger and Ann Nutt Moon. [2] James and Ann became the parents of one son:

      Moses Moon, born October 9, 1754, died April 19, 1822, married Rachel Burges. Moses inherited the farm from his father, and bequeathed it to his only son, James, who married Jane Haines.

      Ann (Sotcher) Moon died August 18, 1787, in Falls Township. Her Find A Grave does not have the location of her burial, however it is very likely at the Falls Friends Meeting Cemetery #01, where her father is also buried. Ann's Find A Grave memorial is listed as "Ann Sotcher Watson," which may be why the memorial manager has not found a gravestone. [3]
