Nancy Worthy was the wife of John G. Worthy, tavern keeper. They went to Mississippi territory in 1807. I hope this information helps someone. I have no connection to the Spinks family. I was only interested as Enoch Spinks of Randolph Co. was a neighbor of my husband's Lawrence, Needham and Bird ancestors of Randolph Co., NC pre 1800. Descendants of these people migrated to present day Bibb Co., AL. It has always amazed me that they moved from Randolph County to vicinity of Randolph, AL.
