He was born in County Antrim to William Watson and Jane Smyth. He attended the Royal Academical Institution of Belfast before arriving in New South Wales in 1865; he became a pastoralist. In 1880 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Murray; he was defeated in 1885, but returned as the member for Bourke in 1887.
