John Watson, who was a magistrate in 1800 and served as sheriff in 1825. He
purchased "Forest Hill" in 1813 and lived there until his death in 1841. He
married Jane, daughter of Richard Price, one of their sons, John W. C. Watson,
was admitted to the Albemarle bar in 1830, but moved to Holly Springs,
Mississippi, and represented that state during the War Between the States.
Another son, Egbert, was one of the leading lawyers of Charlottesville and Judge
of the Circuit Court at the end of the war. He died in 1887.
The small cemetery has three very large white oaks in it and there are at least
five other graves that are unmarked.
The cemetery is southwest of the house, only two graves are marked.
