The rest of the manuscript is devoted to three short trips.  While traveling on the Schuylkill Canal with his daughter, Lavinia, he noted the scenery and he sketched the boat and another scene.  He also sketched the dwellings and buildings along Market St. in Reading and commented on them.    The Delaware Canal trip was a day journey undertaken on July 4, 1826 so that Watson could show his daughters river scenery.  Watson remarked on scenes that were significant during the Revolutionary War.    On July 8, 1826 Watson and a friend, Reuben Haines, went to Pennsbury to see where William Penn lived.  Included is a piece written about an incident in Pennsbury in 1701.  The two left Pennsbury and went to Point Breeze, where they visited King Joseph and Prince Charles of Spain.  He wrote about his impressions of them.  Also featured is a detailed sketch of Robert Crozier's dwelling in Pennsbury and pages from Watson's account with the Louisiana Bank.\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:1825 - D:00 M:00 Y:1826"},{"label":"Creator","value":"John Fanning Watson (1779-1860)"},{"label":"Place","value":"Reading, Pennsylvania; Pennsbury, New Jersey"},{"label":"Format","value":["Manuscript"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Diaries","Men-Diaries","Reading (Pa.)-Description and travel","New Jersey-Description and travel"]},{"label":"Identifier","value":"Collection 189\n58x29.4"},{"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":"Trip to Reading 1825.
