From Randall Watts, "according to his grandaughter in the 1990s when I was researching him, the Confederate Calvary got him out of his field why he was plowing." That would seem to support him being in the home guard. Not sure if that was before or after he left the 43rd Alabama.¹ According to Randall Watts: "I had heard he survived the war , almost died , made it to ferry near Peterson, was nursed back to health by ferry operators daughter and married her, after he found out his wife had remarried when it's was months after war and he hadn't come home, this was from a man I met in Pickens county that was related to him. I think WW Watts grave is in cemetery just outside Carrollton, been 25 years since I was in Cemetery so I don't remember dates on marker."
