In 1856, he ventured to Batsto to visit his birth place.  He found the town full of family associations.  After a vacation in Atlantic City, he determined that the place was destined to become great.  At Cape Island, he commented on the \"aspiring vanity.\"                       The trip to Morristown was taken to see his son, Barron.  There he had an opportunity to view Washington's headquarters.  He discussed the significance of the location.  A sketch of Barron's house is also included.  The pages devoted to the Mount Holly trip just record the people with whom Watson visited.                     In 1856, Watson had the opportunity to visit New England and Plymouth Rock.  Along the way, he stayed with Sister Bogert in New York.  During the trip, Watson expressed concern over the lack of curiosity on the part of other passengers.  He noted changes in the region since his last excursion.  He was particularly fond of Bridgewater and sketched several houses in it.                 \nWatson was born in Batsto, New Jersey, the son of William and Lucy Fanning Watson.  In 1806 he opened a mercantile house in Philadelphia and was later listed as a bookseller and stationer.  In 1814, Watson accepted a position as cashier of the Bank of Germantown and received a notary public commission.  He remained with the bank until 1848.  He then became secretary-treasurer of the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad, where he remained until 1859.  Watson was also an amateur historian and a pioneer in the use of oral histories and public opinion questionnaires.  He published, among other works, Annals of Philadelphia, Historic Tales of Olden Time Concerning the Settlement and Advancement of New York City and State, and Historic Tales of Olden Time Concerning the Early Settlement  and Progress of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.  In 1812 he married Phebe Barron Crowell and had 7 children."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1855 - D:00 M:00 Y:1858"},{"label":"Creator","value":"John Fanning Watson (1779-1860)"},{"label":"Place","value":"Atlantic City, New Jersey; Batsto, New Jersey; Cape Island, New Jersey; Mount Holly, New Jersey; Morristown, New Jersey; Plymouth, Massachusetts"},{"label":"Format","value":["Manuscript"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Diaries","Men-Diaries","New Jersey-Description and travel","Massachusetts-Description and travel"]},{"label":"Identifier","value":"Collection 189\n83x174.6"},{"label":"Finding Aid","value":"http://findingaid.winterthur.org/html/HTML_Finding_Aids/COL0189.htm"},{"label":"Rights","value":["No Copyright - United States"]},{"label":"Source Collection","value":["Watson Family Papers (Col. 189)"]}],"description":"Excursion Notices  Trip to Atlantic City Surf 1855.

The family engaged lodgings – on ground floor, of   the old House of McMakins’ Atlantic house having a fine green lawn in front, & nearest   house to the Sea side – Preferred to all other positions – Board 12 Ds pr week cash, &   maid half price –     Ms. Watson’s wheel chair, operated very usefully & we got over by the new   turnpike of gravel 2 1/2 miles – very satisfactorily. – Mrs W’s chamber was very   satisfactory, & the Host was very kind & attentive –     This was a Trip for Mrs.W’s health – How it will benefit is to be hereafter   considered – There was nothing marked for the present.  She was glad to return.
