You can type the paper name or select the state the paper comes from on the map to see if they have the paper. Note that even if they do have the paper it does not mean they have all years.

I find newspapers.com very useful but the name search does not always work as expected.

A suggestion would be to start with a wide search with a date range and last name and narrow from there.

I did a quick search and do not see a newspaper in NY with the title The Watchman.
