Posted on: Fayette Co. Oh Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Oh/Fayette/10224 Surname: Worthington ------------------------- Kathy, I checked the indexes for 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. Never a Jesse Worthington in Fayette Co. There was a Jesse in Morgan Co. each year. Morgan Co. is in southeast Ohio. Another Jesse appears in Mercer (1850) and Auglaize (1860), bordering counties in west-central Ohio. All of these counties are about 100 miles from Fayette. It's possible he owned land there, but never lived there. I know some Worthingtons from my line went to Fayette from Highland Co. after 1850, but know nothing about any Jesse. sorry, Steve Taylor, gggg-granson of Ephraim Worthington
