He married Charlotte GRAVES in Rome, Oneida, NY, in 1811. I found a family tree showing he died in 1840 in Spring Prairie, WI. I'm trying to verify that they were the parents of my gggrandfather Edmond Walsworth, born in 1817 in Ontario, Canada. Any info you could find would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am not the free lookup person, but just thought I'd answer with a few thoughts. Walworth County was settled in the 1836 era and the first settler in Spring Prairie was in April of 1836 when he started working the land. Others came soon after. There just aren't records from that early to find much information about. The only Walworth/Walsworth in the index of county histories was a George Walworth, born Rome, NY in August of 1793, died Jan. 1853. George was the son of Jesse and wife Hannah, and Jesse's father was a James Walworth. George came 1843 to Spring Prairie with a brother Jesse Jr. and Jesse soon returned to Rome. The only Walworth name in the Spring Prairie Hickory Grove cemetery listing is a George Walworth who died Jan. 13, 1964 at age 70. The listing says that there are a couple of broken stones nearby, probably unreadable. I checked the Spring Prairie Bapttist Church Clerk's notes for any Walworth/Walsworth names, but that didn't start till May of 1841. No Charlotte listed there. I know there are no dates that early (1840) in the vital statistics at the courthouse, so not much help here.
