Marilyn, Re: WORLEY - TN or VA for this Richard Worley Jones, family. I have not found a link to TN or VA. WORLEY, said to be an old Jones family name originally from Wales, passed on, son to son. I would agree, it is most likely the maiden name of a Worley Mother. I have not been able to find the parents of James Worley Jones, due to his early death. Richard Worley Jones, mother is Nancy McCarthy Carty of NC, d. 1883, Logan, Co. Father, James Worley Jones, b. c1809 OH, or NC, d. Oct 1857 in a mill accident, Mason Co, IL. The only census I was able to find James is in the Dalton, Wayne Co, IN, census in 1850. It states that James b. in NC. However, many of his children would later say he was b.in OH. Nancy was born in NC. The new widow moved her young children to Logan Co. I have contacted Ross Co, OH, and waiting for reply. 1850 Aug 20, Dalton, Wayne, IN census James Jones, 41, b.
