    1. [TNHARDIN-L] Worley in Hardin Co.
    2. David, In case you dont have this already. I dont know if we talked about the Worleys. This came from Jim Worley (JWorley498@aol.com) via my cousin Will Creagle. Rebecca Casey Worley was one of eight children by Johann Michael Worley's first wife Mary Martin. Rebecca Casey married Theodore F. (PH) Barnhill. She was born abou 1834, probably in Hardin County TN. Records in the Hardin County Clerk's office dating 1869 and 1870 show the settlement of her father's estate which mention "Rebecca Casey Barnhill" as one of the ten heirs (all children of Michael), each inheritting one-tenth of Michael's land. Also, "TF Barnhill" is shown as one of the buyers at the estate sale for Michael's property. Michael and his second wife Lavina Bass or Basp had four sons. Jim Worley is descended from Abraham Isaac Jacob Worley. That means there were two kids missing at the time of the estate settlement. Ten out of 12 made it that far :) ==== oh here is Jim's query of 1998. Seeking descendents and information on 4 Worley brothers and allied families. Charles Pinkney B. WORLEY (m.Rebecca SURRATT), Peter Paul S. WORLEY (m Martha Elizabeth WINNINGHAM) and Thomas Gray L. WORLEY (m Mattie Matilda STALLINGS) came to Montague County from Hardin County, TN in 1870s. Abraham Isaac Jacob WORLEY (m Mary Ann WINNINGHAM) and joined them about 1894. from USGenWeb ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/hardin/census/18500001.txt 1850 Census of Hardin County page 200B Mf#400 WORLEY, Michael 56 M Farmer born VA Lavina 37 F NC Margaret A 18 F TN Rebecca C 16 F TN Susannah E 14 F TN John V A 12M TN Joel M W 6 M TN Charles P B 2 M TN Bost Abraham 25 M NC (related to Lavina somehow, brother??)
