In all of the research on 18th and 19th-century properties that I have done in the area of Watts Branch, I have never found a landowner with the name of Watts. But I have researched only those properties within the boundaries of Prince George's County. So the branch was probably named for someone whose property was within the boundaries of D.C. I suggest that you contact the Historical Society of Washington D. C. at 202-785-2068. Good Luck!
