He lived in the poor house for about a year and became an apprentice for a shoe maker. It was his love of reading and learning that led him to learn phonography, a form of shorthand developed by Isaac Pitman in 1837.

Watt was in charge of 378 LDS emigrants on board the El len Maria at Liverpool as the prepared to sail for America. During the 63 days they were on board, three marriages, four births and five deaths occurred, on the ship. As soon as the Watt family reached New Orleans they made plans to go to Utah. They reached the Salt Lake Valley in September 1831. Watt spoke in church on Sunday, Oct. 26, 1831 and his talent as a speaker was recognized. He began recording the church services held in the bowery and the Salt Lake Tabernacle and did this from 1851 until 1870. His records are part of the church records.
