John Henry Watkins was the son of Mary Margaret Pryor and David E. Watkins. On September 12, 1918 John Henry signed his World War I Draft Card in Louisville, Kentucky. He offers that he is tall, slender, has dark hair, and blue eyes. He works for the Meugal Box Company and lives at 659 South 23rd Street in Jefferson County, Kentucky. John Henry Watkins claims his wife Sara M. Watkins is his closest relative and then signs the document with his mark.
Thelma Watkins Vance was the informant for Vital Statistics when John Henry passed away in 1958. She offers that he was born on October 23, 1880 which coincides with the birth date that is given when John Henry applies for Social Security in 1949. John Henry Watkins was age 2 years old when censused in 1880. John Henry gave his birth date as July 10, 1877 on his draft card in 1918. (see record above) Census records vary slightly but in 1900 he is censused as born in October of 1880.
