John Worden b 1807/08 married Esther Whiting (b 1811 Maine), probably Chautauqua County, NY. (Esther Whiting's family had recently moved from Maine to Allegany County, NY, so John and Esther could have married in either Allegany County or Chautauqua County.) The 1830 Federal Census finds John and Esther residing in Hanover, Chautauqua County, NY; 1840 Federal Census finds them in Poland, Chautauqua County, NY; 1850 census in Yorkshire, Cattaraugus County, NY. The family seems to break up sometime between 1850 and 1855, as the older children are residing with relatives in the 1855 census, with no sign of John Worden, Esther (Whiting) Worden and the two youngest Worden children, Esther Ann and Elbert/Ehlert. John Worden and Esther (Whiting) Worden Children: Lois Elvira - b 1830 Hanover, Chautauqua County, NY - married Miles Colton Lydia Jane - b 1832 Hanover, Chautauqua County, NY - married 1) Asa Eastland; 2) Charles Babcock Hannah Minerva - b 1834 Hanover, Chautauqua County, NY - married Isaac H. Beach Alsophina - born 1839 Hanover, Chautauqua County, NY - married John H. Peck (my line) - Peck family resided in Machias until shortly after the Civil War - removed to Wayland, Allegan County, Michigan until 1872 when Alsophina divorced John and moved to Iowa with their daughter Ida May Peck, leaving her ex-husband John and their son Harvey in Wayland. Benjamin - b 1840 Poland, Chautauqua County, NY - married 1) Prudence Catherine Martin; 2) Kate Ann (Jennie) Hawkins I have recently found Esther (Whiting) Worden's marriage to one Richard B. Nuzum on April 1, 1855 in Marion County, Virginia (now West Virginia). Apparently Esther had married ___ Clarke sometime after the 1850 Federal Census and before April 1, 1855, as Esther was called "Widow Clarke" at the time of her marriage. I do know that this is my Esther Whiting Worden, as probate records have been found in Yorkshire to prove this is the correct Esther. The 1860 census finds Esther residing with her third husband, Richard B. Nuzum, some children from his first marriage (that wife deceased) and the two younger Worden children, Esther Ann and Ehlert, now using the name Clarke. I have also recently found the death of one John C. Worden (1872) in Orangeville, Barry County, Michigan. The death certificate indicates this John C. Worden was born 1808 in Chautauqua County, NY. His parents' names were unknown. The 1860 and 1870 census give his wife's name as Harriet, twelve years his junior, also born NY. Land records indicate that John Worden purchased this land from the US Government in 1856. I believe this John Worden to be my ancestor, John Worden, first husband of Esther Whiting. His daughter (my ancestor) Alsophina Worden Peck would have been residing in next door Allegan County, Michigan in 1872, at the time of his death in Barry County. I believe after her father's death, Alsophina's marriage which was probably already weak, could take no more, at which time she divorced her husband and came to Iowa with her daughter. I seek help with the following questions: 1) Proof that the John Worden who died 1872 in Orangeville, Barry County, Michigan is indeed the John Worden who first appears 1830 Hanover; 1840 Poland; 1850 Yorkshire. 2) Names of John Worden's parents 3) Name and marriage information and death information for Esther (Whiting) Worden's second husband, whose surname was Clarke or Clark. I am guessing she probably met and married him around Yorkshire, Cattaraugus County, NY and he probably died in or around Marion County, Virginia (now West Virginia) ca 1854. 4) Descendants of the two youngest children: Esther Ann Worden born abt 1843 New York, going by the surname Clark(e). I believe she might have married one Benjamin Mason in Marion County, West Virginia 20 Dec 1863, although old family records passed down in my family indicate she married a ___ Nugent. 5) Descendants of Elbert/Ehlert (Worden) Clark(e) born abt 1845 New York. I believe he married 1) Elizabeth Jane Hovater and had at least the following Clark children: Andrew born abt 1861 Marion County, Virginia (WV) and Elizabeth Clark born abt 1864 Marion County, Virginia (WV); married 2) Sarah Stevens and had Louise E. Clark born abt 1880. 6) I also seek the death date and place of my Esther (Whiting) Worden Nuzum. Richard B. Nuzum died 1887. At that time, I believe Esther was still alive. I do not know if she died in what was then known as West Virginia, or if she perhaps moved north again to New York (perhaps Cattaraugus County) to be with some of her other children, or perhaps moved elsewhere to be with children I have not yet placed. Any and all assistance greatly appreciated. Brenda Hare Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Are there online listings for cemeteries in / around Yorkshire? Could someone please point me to them?

Does anyone know of any NUZUM people that lived in Cattaraugus County after 1880 or who may be buried in / near Yorkshire - Delevan after 1887? I am searching especially for one Esther Nuzum, born 1811. At one time she was residing in Yorkshire, but I'm not sure when/where she died. Her husband died in West Virginia 1887. She was alive at that time and did have some (non-Nuzum) children residing in and near Yorkshire, so my latest thinking is perhaps she moved from West Virginia back toYorkshire sometime after 1887 and may be buried in or near Yorkshire or Delevan. Thank you, Brenda in Iowa

Among the pieces of paper I have left from my Grandfather was a printed school souvenir. It's been printed plain heavy paper that has been folded. On the front it says; School District Number Eleven Fox New York Jun 22 1906 Presented by Esther Smith Teacher inside left; School Officers T.F. Kruse Trustee J. Baum Treasurer F.W. Ebel Collector W.S. Fox District Clerk inside right; Pupils Jenne Bremiller Frank Ebel Albert Kruse Melvin Ahrens Helen Baun Florence Schindler Ruth Heidel John Ebel Allious Bremiller Frank Kruse Helen Heidel This school was located on the Ahrens farm on the far west end of the property along the Fox Valley Road. It was a one room school house. I'm wondering how long was this school in operation? Does anyone have any information or who would I contact that might have info? Fox Valley Rd. was just north of West Valley. Would this school be included in their school district? Diana in Wash

I'm not related to this family, but this leads me to the question -- I had ancestors who lived in Machias, but I didn't know there was a "West Machias". Is that a different town than Machias, or just the west side of Machias? Does anyone know what the population of Machias was, say ca 1850? How about Yorkshire?

Surnames: Wilmot Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RRB.2ACE/6142 Message Board Post: "Last Wednesday morning, Mar. 31st, death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wilmot and claimed their eldest son, Allen E. after he he had been ill about four weeks. He came home from Buffalo Mar. 6th, where he was a studen in the University of Buffalo, having entered that institution last September. He has not been feeling well for a week before he came hom, and his illness proved to be typhoid fever in a mild form. He was recovering from this, when a secondary meningitis developed, and from that he grew steadily worse until he died. He was born in Centerville, N. Y., May 6th, 1887. About seven years ago, the family moved to this place from Arcade and have resided here since. Allen graduated from Delevan High School in the class of '04, and from the teachers training class in '05. After this, he taught school part of the time, he took post graduate work in the High School. It is universally conceded, that he was one of the best students, who ever graduated from Delevan High School. Although he has been in medical school less than year, he was recognized by both professors and classmates as the best student in the freshman class. He was a young man of sterling integrity, one whom it was a pleasure and an inspiration to know. Possessed of a strong mind and a great desire for knowledge, he applied himself most assidously to his work, never leaving a task, until he had thoroughly mastered it. What achievements might have been his had his life been spared, we shall never know, but we can truthfully say, that there was every prospect of a brilliant future for him. Besides his parents, he leaves a brother, Max D. The family has the sincere sympathy of the entire community. The regard in which the deceased was held was evidenced in many ways, particularly by the great profusion of beautiful flowers. The funeral services were held from the family residence, Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Thomas Browne, assisted by Rev. D. C. Irwin. Fourteen members of his class in the University were present at the funeral"
