Biographical History
Wingfield Watson (1828-1922) was influential member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Strangite).
Wingfield Watson was born April 28, 1828 in Ireland. He immigrated to the United States in 1848 and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1852. Shortly thereafter, Watson became a follower of James J. Strang and moved to his headquarters at Beaver Island, Michigan. After witnessing Strang's death in 1856, Watson sought to carry on the legacy of Strangite movement by preserving and publishing historical documents and pamphlets. In 1897 Lorenzo D. Hickey, one of the last remaining Strangite apostles, ordained Watson the presiding High Priest over the Strangite church, a position he held until his death on October 29, 1922.
Grace B. Lewis (born approximately 1860) was the daughter of influential Strangite, Wingfield Watson. She married Charles G. Lewis, an active member and local leader in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church), who served as the president of the Northern Michigan District and later as president of the Boyne City Branch of the RLDS Church. They eventually settled in Lamoni, Iowa.
