I have a question out of curiousity...........There was a family of Wadsworths who worked with Samuel Maverick in South Carolina by 1790 to form a very successful shipping and merchantile conglomerate. A number of years ago I hand copied part of a journal about the Mavericks and it contained some referances to the Wadsworths, but because the Mavericks were from the Boston area and had formed the same kinds of shipping and merchantile businesses in Barbadoes, I assumed the Wadsworths were equally from those northern areas. This is the first time I've realized the Wadsworths were in NC, to be honest, and while I am not connected to the family, I am curious to know if they were connected with the activity of trade and merchantile.
