Hi Richard, Thanks for adding your data to the chart and for the extra trouble you went to listing John and family in the 1850 Census. You ask if John and William Worthen were brothers. John was William's father but the census taker did not record the correct age for John or we are misreading it because it is not clearly marked. The 1850 Census shows John with his second or third wife (Nancy Hardin; married in late 1830s) and not the mother of William. John is found in the 1840, 1850 and 1860 Wayne County, TN census. William is found in 1860, 1870, 1880 Collin County, TX census and the 1900 Chickasaw Nation, I. T. Census. William died in 1907. Barbara Warthen Wallace [email protected]
