James "Joachim" Watson (possibly the son of the first James Watson [SSNE 1086]) was listed as a Scottish burgess in Posen in 1667, orginially coming from "Graboviensis". He, along with George Edislay [SSNE 1104] from Newbattles and William Abercrombie [SSNE 1106] from Aberdeen all became burgesses at the same time. They all had to present birthbrieves and promise to convert to Catholicism within a year.T. Fischer, The Scots in Eastern and Western Prussia (Edinburgh, 1903), p.59, p.212.
