Thomas Watts

Thomas Watts was an English physician and entrepreneur who defied the stereotype of a struggling doctor. He rose to prosperity within England's burgeoning middle class and was celebrated by his community in Frampton-on-Severn. Watts was known for his remarkable choice to divide his estate equally among his children, regardless of gender, which set the stage for his son John's journey to the colonies. Despite his success, Watts' life and legacy remain relatively unknown.
