From the book entitled "The Free State - A History and Place-Names Study
of Livingston Parish" by the members of the Livingston Parish American
Revolution Bicentennial Committee in cooperation with the Livingston 
Parish Police Jury and the Louisiana American Revolution Bicentennial
Commission, 1976.  Reprinted by permission.  Dedicated to the memory of
Reuben Cooper and Raymond Riggs.

WATTS ROAD intersects the Palmer Road in Section 13, T8S-R4E, and runs

west through Sections 13, 14, and 15 of T8S-R4E to La. Hwy. 42, the 

Colyell Road.  Watts Road is named for William Commodore Watts, an early

settler of the area.

     There are as many as eight families living along this road today who

are direct descendants of Commodore Watts and his brother Mayhew Watts,

both of whom married daughters of Mr. and Mrs. William "Bill" Loflin.
