Documentation for John Worth

(About 1817 to After 31 January 1886)
father of Chesterfield Worth
(1850 to After March 1892 and Before 1893)
John Worth was born in North Carolina about 1817.(1) He was the son of Charles
Worth and Elizabeth Frye.(2) Charles Worth was born on the island of Nantucket,
Massachusetts, on June 17, 1761, and came with his father and mother to New Garden,
North Carolina, in September or October 1774.(3) The parents of Charles Worth were
Joseph Worth and his wife, Judith Starbuck.(4)
Charles Worth married Elizabeth Frye (daughter of Michael and Nancy Frye),
probably in early 1799 in North Carolina.(5) William C. Folger, a genealogist on the
island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, recorded the names of the nine children of Charles
and Elizabeth Worth Frye during the mid-1800s.(6) The brothers and sisters of John
Worth were Lydia, Levi, Seth, Rachel, Elizabeth, Paul, Lucinda, and Rhoda. Folger
labels the Charles Worth family as "descendants of the New Garden emigrants."(7) New
Garden was at the present site of Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina.(8)
John Worth probably was born in Randolph County, North Carolina, where
John's grandfather and father had numerous connections. Joseph Worth bought and
sold land in Randolph County, North Carolina.(9) He died in Randolph County, North
Carolina, before May 1816, the date his will was proved.(10)
Three sisters of John Worth married in Randolph County, North Carolina. A
marriage bond for Lydia Worth and John Rigsby was posted in Randolph County, NC,
on November 13, 1818.(11) A marriage bond for Rachel Worth and Joshua Rigsby was
posted in Randolph County on January 1, 1822.(12) A marriage bond for Elizabeth
Worth and David German was posted in Randolph County, NC, on December 19,
1824.(13)
The first marriage of John Worth was to Elizabeth Hyatt, according to the
William C. Folger Manuscript.(14) No marriage record for John Worth and Elizabeth
Hyatt has been found. However, evidence that John Worth had a child by his first
marriage appears in census records. The U. S. Census of Indiana, 1840, Daviess County,
lists one female child, age 5 and under 10 living in the John Worth household.(15) This
child must have been by his first marriage, since he married his second wife in 1837.
The female child is not listed in the John Worth household in the 1850 Indiana census
and perhaps she died before the census was taken.(16)
The 1850 Indiana census also lists a Mary Hiatt, age 60, living in the John Worth
household. According to the 1850 census record, Mary Hiatt owned the land on which
the John Worth household lived.(17) Mary Hiatt probably was the mother of Elizabeth
Hyatt. A Campbell County, Kentucky, marriage record was found for Allen Hiatt and
Polly Drysdale. The marriage date was May 3, 1817.(18) Also found was a genealogy
listing that gave the name of the spouse of Allen Hiatt as Mary Polly Drysdale.
The second marriage of John Worth was to Julia Ann Drysdale. They married in
Rush County, Indiana, on June 5, 1837.(19) The parents of Julia Ann Drysdale were John
Drysdale and Martha McGlaughlin, who were married February 15, 1809, in
Montgomery County, Kentucky.(20) Rachael Ann Drysdale, born Sept. 29, 1820, in
Campbell County, Kentucky, was a sister to Julia Ann. Rachael married Sandford David
Turner in Rushville, Indiana, on February 15, 1838.(21)
John Worth and his family lived in Daviess County, Indiana, in 1840, as did a
number of individuals related to him.(22) Sanford Turner, husband of Rachel Drysdale,
appears in the 1840 Daviess County, Indiana, census.(23) David German, a brother-in-
law of John Worth, lived next to Sanford Turner in 1840.(24) Mary Polly Drysdale and
her husband, Allen Hiatt, lived in Davies County in 1840.(25). John Drysdale also
appears in the 1840 Daviess County, Indiana, census.(26) He probably was the father of
Julia Ann Drysdale and the brother of Mary Polly Drysdale. William Drysdale,
probably a brother of Julia Ann Drysdale, lived next to John Worth in 1840.(27)
Seth Worth, a brother of John Worth, sold land that he owned in Rush County in
1839.(28) Seth is listed in the 1840 Rush County, Indiana, census.(29) However, Seth
Worth also is listed in the Daviess County, Indiana, census in 1840.(30) Seth and his
father, Charles Worth, are listed in Daviess County, Indiana, census in 1850.(31) Charles
was listed as a member of the Seth Worth household. His age was given as 90 years.(32)
Sometime after the 1850 census, Seth and his family moved to Harrison County,
Missouri, where he and his wife later died.(33) It is not know where Charles Worth died
or is buried.
William Hiatt, perhaps a brother of Elizabeth Hyatt, was born about 1820 in
Kentucky. He married Rhoda Worth, a sister of John Worth, on November 7, 1837, in
Rush County, Indiana.(34) William was dead by September 1858 when a guardian was
appointed for his minor heirs.(35) Rhoda (Worth) Hyatt died December 30, 1854, and is
buried near Morristown in Shelby County, IN.(36)
The children of John Worth and Julia Ann Drysdale were Seth, James, John C.,
Mary J., Elizabeth, and Chesterfield Worth as listed on the 1850 census record.(37)
Another child or other children listed in the 1860 census may have been a child or may
have been children of John Worth and Julia Ann Drysdale as well. John Worth lived in
Shelby County, IN, in 1854.(38) Julia Ann Drysdale died April 10, 1856. She was buried
in the Old Boggstown Cemetery, Shelby County, Indiana.(39)
The third marriage of John Worth was to Mary Jane (Lemon) Stephens.(40) She
was born October 10, 1824 at Akron, Ohio, and died October 22, 1913, in Lafayette,
Tippecanoe County, Indiana.(41) The John Worth family lived in Hendricks and
Montgomery counties in 1860.(42) The John Worth family lived in Montgomery County,
Indiana, in 1870.(43)
John Worth lived in Montgomery County, Indiana, in 1874 according to the
Peoples' Directory of Business and Religious Directory of Montgomery County.(44) The Atlas
of Montgomery County indicated John Worth also lived there in 1878.(45) By the time of
the 1880 Indiana census, John Worth and family lived in Tippecanoe County,
Indiana.(46)
The John Worth letter to Hiram C. Worth dated February 1, 1886, was written at
New Ross, Indiana.(47) In the letter, John Worth lists the names of Charles Worth's
children as: Lida, Levi, Rachel, Seth, Betey, Paul, Lewcinda, John (himself), and Rhoda.
This list concurs with that found in the Folger MS, 3:2077, listed above.
Hiram C. Worth, to whom the letter was sent, was associated with the New
Garden area, now Guilford College, on the west side of Greensboro, NC. Hiram C.
Worth is buried in the New Garden Cemetery near the Guilford College campus.(48)
Laura D. Worth was a granddaughter of Hiram C. Worth.(49) As the keeper of
Quaker records at Guilford College for many years, she compiled much of the North
Carolina data for the William Wade Hinshaw book, Encyclopedia of American Quaker
Genealogy.(50) She was the foremost authority in the early 1900s on Quaker genealogy in
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, according to Hinshaw.(51) Laura D.
Worth is buried at the New Garden Cemetery at Guilford College in Greensboro, North
Carolina.(52)
In his letter, John Worth states that his son, John Worth, was at Hiram C. Worth's
home during the war.(53) John C. Worth was in the 120th Indiana Volunteer Infantry
during the Civil War.(54) The 120th Indiana unit was stationed in North Carolina from
about April 1865 until the time John C. Worth was discharged at Raleigh, NC, on
January 8, 1866.(55) The unit was assigned to the Department of North Carolina and
was stationed at times in Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte, and Greensboro.(56)
John Worth died sometime after February 1, 1886.(57) No date of death, location
of death, location of burial, will, or estate papers have been found for him.
Also of note is an Affidavit of Marshall Benton Rigsbee dated December 28, 1914,
that was prepared for and submitted with the application of Arlie L. Rigsbee for
membership in the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Marshall Benton
Rigsbee was a grandson of John Rigsbee and his wife Lydia Worth. Lydia was the
oldest child of Charles Worth and his wife Elizabeth Frye. The affidavit lists a number
of related Risgbee children through John and Lydia Worth Rigsbee and through Joseph
and Rachel Worth Rigsbee.
The affidavit states that (Marshall Benton Rigsbee) "the affiant herein knows
positively that Lydia Worth married John Rigsbee and had the following children". He
also states that Joseph Rigsbee married Rachael Worth. This is the opposite of what the
Folger Manuscript at the Nantucket Historical Association states. The marriage records
of Randolph County, North Carolina, as listed in The Genealogical Journal of the
Randolph County Historical Society, Volume VII, No. 3, 1983, lists the marriage of John
Rigsby and Lydia Worth, the marriage of David Jerman and Elizabeth Worth, and the
marriage of Joshua Rigsby and Rachel Worth. The statement of Marshall Benton
Rigsbee (Rigsby) appears to be correct in this regard and the Folger Manuscript has the
spouses of Lydia and Rachel Worth reversed.

4) Elizabeth A. Worth, a daughter of John Worth and a sister of Chesterfield
Worth, was born about 1847. [See 1850 U. S. Census for Indiana, Rush County, Jackson
Township, Roll M432_170, Page 556, Dwelling #52, Family #54, Elizabeth Worth, age 3,
female, born in Indiana. Also 1860 U.S. Census for Indiana, Hendricks County, Middle
Township, Post Office -Pittsborough, Roll M653_265, Page 799, enumerated July 12,
1860, Family 823, Dwelling 823, Elizabeth Worth, age 13, female.]
Elizabeth Worth married Jesse W. Lewellen on November 17, 1864. [State of
Indiana, Montgomery Co., Marriages, Jesse W. Lewellen and Elizabeth Worth, married
November 17, 1864, filed and recorded January 28, 1865, Book 6, p. 272. "The proper
Consent having been first filed by Jesse Lewallyn & John Worth a resident of said
county."]
Elizabeth Worth and her husband Jesse Lewellen lived in the Shannandale
community not far from John C. Worth and his wife Matilda (Horn). [U. S. Census of
Indiana, 1880, Montgomery Co., Shannandale, enumerated June 11, 1880, by F. H.
Marshall, p. 16, e. d. 102, John Worth, wife Matilda, dwelling 152, family 153; Jesse
Lewellen, wife Elizabeth, dwelling 158, family 159.] [State of Indiana, Tippecanoe Co.,
Marriages, John Worth and Matilda Horn, May 14, 1866, Book C-11, p. 202.]
Jesse Lewellen and Elizabeth Worth Lewellen had a male child who was born
March 26, 1888. [State of Indiana, Montgomery Co., Births, 1882 to 1920, Book H-4, p.
141, male child of Jesse Lewellen and Elizabeth Worth, born March 26, 1888.]
Lucy Jane Harmison, the widow of Chesterfield Worth, married again on June 9,
1896, in Terre Haute, Indiana. Lucy married Jesse Lewellen, the widower of Elizabeth
Worth, who was the sister of Chesterfield. Elizabeth Worth Lewellen apparently died
sometime between March 26, 1888, and June 9, 1896.
Chesterfield Worth and his wife, Lucy Jane Harmison, had named their first two
children after Jesse Lewellen and Elizabeth Worth Lewellen. [U. S. Census of Illinois,
1880, Vermilion Co., Oakwood Township, e. d. 219, sheet 41, dwelling 298, family 299,
enumerated June 28, 1880, by Magruder W. Selby, Chesterfield Worth, age 29, born in
Indiana, Lucy Jane Worth, age 27, born in Indiana, Elizabeth Worth, age 7, daughter,
born in Illinois, and Jesse Worth, age 4, son, born in Illinois.
The relationship of Chesterfield Worth as the son of John Worth is proven
through Chesterfields relationship to his sister, Elizabeth Worth, who was a daughter
of John Worth.
5) Chesterfield Worth, according to census records, had an older brother named
John C. Worth. [U.S. Indiana Census for 1860, Hendricks County, Middle Township,
John C. Worth age 15, male, Chester F. D. Worth age 10.]
We know from a letter written by John Worth, at New Ross, Indiana to Hiram C.
Worth of Greensboro, NC, that John Worth had a son named John Worth who visited
with Hiram C. Worth at his home in Greensboro, NC, in the time of the war. [Letter
from John Worth (New Ross, Indiana) to Hiram C. Worth (Greensboro, North Carolina),
1 February 1886. Original letter at Hege Library, Friends Historical Collection, Guilford
College, Greensboro, NC.]
The death certificate of John C. Worth gives his date of birth as May 8, 1845, lists
his father as John Worth and that he was buried at Clarks Hill Cemetery. His
tombstone at Clarks Hill includes an inscription indicating he served in the 120th
Indiana Infantry.
According to his military records, John C. Worths unit, the 120th Indiana, was at
Greensboro, NC, sometime between May 1865 and August 22, 1865. He probably
visited with Hiram C. Worth during this time. [National Archives, Civil War Pension
Records, John C. Worth, 120th Indiana Infantry, Private, Company C, soldier's
certificate #368-228, Can #7 730, Bundle #22, wife Rebecca J. Worth, number 497,241
appears on the cover of his folder, also #1,567,964. File contains a copy of his Honorable
Discharge, a copy of his Death Certificate, and a copy of the Death Certificate for
Matilda (Horn) Worth, his first wife.]
John C. Worth married Mary A. Hamm on or about February 4, 1920. The
marriage certificate lists his father as John Worth and his mother as Julia Ann Hiatt.
[Julia Ann Drysdale, as listed on the marriage license to John Worth, the father of John
C. and Chesterfield, probably was at one time Julia Ann Hiatt.]
Elizabeth Worth and her husband Jesse Lewellen lived in the Shannandale
community not far from John C. Worth and his wife Matilda (Horn). [U. S. Census of
Indiana, 1880, Montgomery Co., Shannandale, enumerated June 11, 1880, by F. H.
Marshall, p. 16, e. d. 102, John Worth, wife Matilda, dwelling 152, family 153; Jesse
Lewellen, wife Elizabeth, dwelling 158, family 159.] [[State of Indiana, Tippecanoe Co.,
Marriages, John Worth and Matilda Horn, May 14, 1866, Book C-11, p. 202.]
The evidence strongly supports the conclusion that John C. Worth and
Chesterfield Worth were brothers and the sons of John Worth.

15, 1809, in Montgomery County, Kentucky.(2)
Census records and other material obtained from limited research into the matter
indicate that a James Drysdale Sr. probably was the father of a James Jr., John, and Mary
"Polly" Drysdale.(tt) A John Drysdale and James Drysdale witnessed a will on March 29,
1816, for Henry Boyals of Campbell County, Kentucky, wife's name was Martha.(KK)
The 1830 census records for John Drysdale and his presumed brother, James Drysdale
Jr., indicate that only John Drysdale had any children living with him, and his wife,
Martha McLaughlin, in 1830. It seems probably therefore that Julia Ann Drysdale was a
daughter of John Drysdale and his wife Martha McLaughlin and that the father of John
Drysdale was named James Drysdale.
Additional information on the Drysdales indicate that a Rachael Ann Drysdale,
born Sept. 29, 1820, in Campbell County, Kentucky, probably was a sister or cousin to
Julia Ann Drysdale. Rachael married Sandford David Turner in Rushville, Indiana, on
February 15, 1838.(3) A Martha Drysdale married James Collins on January 14, 1850,
and also probably was a sister or cousin to Julia Ann.
Information received by Curtis Older, the sender of which is unknown to me at
present, indicated, "I, too, am looking for Drysdales in Rush Co. I have 3 Drysdale
sisters who married in Rush Co. Rachel married Sanford Turner-15 Feb 1838, Julia
married John Worth-5 June 1837, and Martha married James Collins-14 Jan 1850. They
were the daughters of John & Martha McGlaughlin Drysdale, who were married 15 Feb
1809 in Montgomery Co, KY."
Census and other information obtained on a William Drysdale indicates that he
probably was a brother or cousin of Julia Ann Drysdale. William Drysdale was born in
Kentucky, August 28, 1815, and died April 7, 1898, age 82 years, 8 months. He was
buried at the Morris Cemetery located 3 miles north of Adrian, Missouri.(II) Cemetery
Records of Bates County, Missouri Volume III William Drysdale married Elizabeth Earnest
March 23, 1837, in Rush County, Indiana, however, no marriage record or license has
been found for this couple via the Internet. Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry F.
Earnest and Hannah Bitner. She was born in Sevier County, Tennessee on June 10, 1820.
She died November 11, 1879, in Bates County, Missouri, at age 58.(III) Cemetery Records
of Bates County, Missouri Volume III. William Drysdale indicated in the 1880 U. S. Census
for Missouri that his father's birthplace was Virginia and that his mother's birthplace
was Kentucky.
William Drysdale and Elizabeth Earnest were the parents of twelve children,
including: 1) John N. Drysdale, born May 29, 1841, died August 23, 1895, married Mary
Jane Allender; 2) Henry Drysdale, born 1839, died 1907, married Mary E. Davis, wed
1863; and 3) James, born April 28, 1843, Rush County, Indiana, died March 12, 1909,
Bates County, Missouri. James Drysdale married Mary Strain. Many of the William and
Elizabeth Drysdale children and their spouses are buried in Morris Cemetery, Bates
County, Missouri, and others are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Butler, Bates County,
Missouri.
William Drysdale lived next to John Worth according to the 1840 Daviess County,
Indiana, census. Additional research and data is needed to determine conclusive
answers as to the identity of the ancestors of Julia Ann Drysdale.
Julia Ann Drysdale married John Worth in Rush County, Indiana, on June 5,
1837.(4) John Worth was born in North Carolina about 1817.(5) He was a son of Charles
Worth and Elizabeth Frye.(6)
The first marriage of John Worth was to an Elizabeth Hyatt, as recorded in the
William C. Folger Manuscript.(7) The Folger Manuscript of three volumes is known as
Genealogical Records of Nantucket Families. Folger recorded many of the Nantucket
families that moved from Nantucket, Massachusetts to North Carolina in the late 1700s.
Charles Worth, the father of John Worth, was born on Nantucket Island in 1761 and
moved with his parents, Joseph and Judith (Starbuck) Worth Jr., and his brothers and
sisters to New Garden, North Carolina, about 1775. New Garden became the present
site of Guilford College on the west side of Greensboro, North Carolina. Charles
married Elizabeth Frye of Stokes County, North Carolina, probably in 1799.(10) The
listing of the Charles Worth family in the Folger Manuscript gives the name of the wife
of John Worth as Elizabeth Hyatt.
No marriage record for John Worth and Elizabeth Hyatt has been found.
However, support for the marriage does appear to exist in two census records. Evidence
that John Worth was the father of a child, before his marriage to Julia Ann Drysdale,
appears in census records for 1840 and 1850. The 1840 U. S. Census of Indiana, Daviess
County, lists one female child, age 5 and under 10 living in the John Worth
household.(8) This child must have been born by 1835, prior to his marriage to Julia
Ann Drysdale in June 1837. This female child is not listed in the John Worth household
in the 1850 Indiana census and perhaps she died, or married, before the census was
taken.(9)
Additional information from the 1850 U. S. Census of Indiana, Rush County,
Jackson Township, household of John Worth, appears to support a connection between
John Worth and a Hyatt, or Hiatt, family. The Folger Manuscript spelled the last name of
the wife of John Worth as Hyatt. The 1850 Indiana census lists a Mary Hiatt, age 60,
living in the John Worth household. It seems reasonable to assume that the Folger
Manuscript and the 1850 Indiana census for Rush County contained two viable ways to
spell the last name of John Worth's first wife. Folger used Hyatt while the 1850 census
used Hiatt. The Mary Hiatt of the John Worth household in 1850 could have been John
Worth's first mother-in-law. Mary Hiatt could have been the mother of Elizabeth Hiatt,
John Worth's first wife, according to Folger.
Some might argue that the Mary Hiatt living in the 1850 household of John
Worth, was the mother of Julia Ann Drysdale. That she had remarried after the death of
her Drysdale husband and that her second spouse also had died by 1850. There appears
to be significant, but incomplete evidence, to indicate the preceding was not the case.
There is evidence the parents of Julia Ann Drysdale were John Drysdale and Martha
McLaughlin. The 1850 census records a Martha Drysdale living with ????? who
probably were her daughter and son in law.
There is evidence that Allen and Mary "Polly" (Drysdale) Hiatt could have been
the parents of an Elizabeth Hiatt. There is evidence John Drysdale, father of Julia Ann
Drysdale, was a brother of Mary "Polly" Drysdale, the mother of Elizabeth Hiatt. All of
these individuals can be closely connected, or an association shown to exist between
them, through census records and marriage records. Additional information that has
been found gives support to a close association between these individuals as well.
According to the 1850 census record, Mary Hiatt owned the land on which the
John Worth household lived.(10) A Campbell County, Kentucky, marriage record was
found for an Allen Hiatt and Polly Drysdale. The marriage date was May 3, 1817.(11)
Also found was a genealogy listing that gave the name of the spouse of Allen Hiatt as
Mary "Polly" Drysdale. A daughter of this Allen and Mary (Drysdale) Hiatt might have
been born about 1817 or 1818 and could have married John Worth in 1834 or 1835. Allen
Hiatt was born about 1797 in Pennsylvania. His parents were William and Elizabeth
"Betsy" Thatcher Hiatt.
An 1820 census record for Allen Hiatt exists for the state of Kentucky, Fleming
County, no township stated. The census indicates that Allen Hiatt and Mary Drysdale
Hiatt had two daughters and one son who were under 10 years old. Since they were
married in May 1817, they likely had one child in 1817 or early 1818. This child could
have been named Elizabeth Hiatt.
An 1830 census record exits for an Allen Hiatt household in Rush County,
Indiana. The 1830 census indicates one female of 10 years and under 15. This child
could have been Elizabeth Hiatt who would have turn 18 or thereabouts in 1835. The
1830 census indicates that Allen and Mary Hiatt were in Rush County by 1830. It
appears the Drysdale and Worth families did not arrive in Rush County until a few
years later.
The 1840 Indiana census for Davies County lists Allen Hyatt as living near to
John Drysdale as well as near Sandford Turner, William Drysdale, Seth Worth, David
German, and John Worth. The 1840 census uses the Hyatt spelling. Hence, Hiatt and
Hyatt do seem to be used interchangeably in the census records for this family. The
1840 census indicates Allen Hiatt was age 40 and under 50 and that Mary Drysdale
Hiatt was age 50 and under 60. It appears that Allen Hiatt, or Hyatt, husband of Mary,
died before the 1850 census was taken.
There is no 1850 census record for the Allen and Mary Hiatt household. The 1850
John Worth census in Rush County, Indiana, indicates Mary Hiatt was 60 years old at
that time. Allen and Mary Hiatt appear to have been in Davies County, Indiana, along
with the John Worth and John Drysdale families.
Additional information obtained on the Internet indicate that William Hiatt, born
about 1777, married Elizabeth "Betsy" Thatcher, who was born about 1781. William and
Elizabeth Hiatt came from Pennsylvania to Ohio and on to Kentucky William and
Elizabeth Hiatt moved to Ohio about 1808. They then moved on to Kentucky, being in
Mason, Fleming, and other counties in Kentucky.
William and Elizabeth (Thatcher) Hiatt were the parents of the following
children, and perhaps others who are unknown:
1) Allen, born in 1797, married Mary"Polly" Drysdale May 3, 1817, in Campbell
County, Kentucky
2) Stephen, born 1798, married Lucy Morris, December 6, 1817, in Campbell
County, Kentucky
3) Thatcher, born 1799, married Esther/Hester Hunt, Green, Markwell, in 1820,
in Kentucky
4) Nancy, born 1803, married 1st Landon Bonham; married 2nd John Pemberton
5) Sarah/Sallie, born 1805, married Jeremiah Rice, March 24, 1824, in Greenup
County, Kentucky
6) Elizabeth "Betsy", born 1807, married July 16, 1830
It seems entirely possible that Allen Hiatt and his wife, Mary Drysdale, named their
first female child Elizabeth after Allen's mother, Elizabeth "Betsy" (Thatcher) Hiatt.
Additional research or data is needed to determine conclusive answers to the Elizabeth
Hyatt issue as well as to identify the ancestors of Julia Ann Drysdale.
John Worth and Julia Ann (Drysdale) Worth and their children lived in Daviess
County, Indiana, in 1840, as did a number of individuals related to them.(12) Sanford
Turner, husband of Rachel Drysdale, appears in the 1840 Daviess County, Indiana,
census.(13) David German, a brother-in-law of John Worth, lived next to Sanford Turner
in 1840.(14) Mary Polly Drysdale and her husband, Allen Hyatt, lived in Davies County
in 1840.(15). John Drysdale appears in the 1840 Daviess County, Indiana, census and
lived very near to Allen Hyatt.(16) John Drysdale probably was the father of Julia Ann
Drysdale and perhaps was a brother of Mary Polly Drysdale. William Drysdale,
probably a brother of Julia Ann Drysdale, lived next to John Worth in 1840.(17)
The children of John Worth and Julia Ann Drysdale listed in the 1850 Indiana
census for Rush County, Jackson Township, were: Seth, James, John C., Mary J.,
Elizabeth, and Chesterfield D. Worth.(18) In 1854, John Worth and his family lived in
Shelby County, Indiana.(19) Julia Ann Drysdale died April 10, 1856.(20) She was buried
in the Old Boggstown Cemetery, Shelby County, Indiana.
John Worth and Julia Ann Drysdale may have been the parents of children who
were born between the time of the 1850 Indiana census and the date of death for Julia
Ann in April 1856. The 1860 Indiana census records for the family of John Worth
include 1) children from his marriage to Julia Ann Drysdale, 2) children by his marriage
to his third wife, Mary Jane (Lemon) Stephens, who he married on January 1, 1857, in
Shelby County, Indiana, and 3) children from the prior marriage of Mary Jane Lemon to
? Stephens.(21).
Mary Jane Lemon was born October 10, 1824 at Akron, Ohio, and died October
22, 1913, in Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana.(22) and was buried at Battle
Ground, Tippicanoe County, Indiana. Indiana State Board of Health, Death Certificate,
Mary J. Worth, Tippicanoe Co., Indiana, 22 October 1913
The John Worth family lived in Hendricks and Montgomery counties in 1860.(23)
The John Worth family lived in Montgomery County, Indiana, in 1870.(24) John Worth
died sometime after February 1, 1886.(25) No date of death, location of death, location
of burial, will, or estate papers have been found for him.

SOLDIERS HOME NATIONAL CEMETERY
Soldiers Home National Cemetery

Washington, DC 20011
Phone: (202) 829-1829
The Military Asylum Cemetery is now the Soldiers Home National

Cemetery. To date, 14,313 soldiers and airmen have been interred in it's
15.8 acres. 292 unknown soldiers are buried here, and 22 Medal of Honor
recipients.
The Soldiers' Home National Cemetery, D. C., illustrates this want of

uniformity. In 1861 the Board of Governors agreed to permit usage for
cemeterial purposes of a portion of the land originally assigned to its
jurisdiction in 1851. A cemetery was opened on August 1, 1861, nearly a
year before enactment of the legislation authorizing President Lincoln to
purchase burial grounds. Since no compensation has ever been made to the
governing board of this institution for the use of its land, the cemetery site
first occupied in 1861 still belongs to the Soldiers' Home.
Soldier's and Airmen's Home
About three miles from the White House, on high ground overlooking the
city, the US government in 1851 established the United States Soldier's and
Airmen's Home for distinguished veterans of the Mexican War. The
salubrious location and the serene grounds were considered a fitting site
for those who had served with honor in the military. The site had been the
country estate of George W. Riggs, a prominent Washington banker, who
had built a 14-room house known as Anderson Cottage.
Anderson Cottage became a presidential retreat, first used as a getaway by

President James Buchanan. But it is the presence of Abraham Lincoln, who
spent a great deal of time there, often visiting every day during the
summer, that makes the place one of the most significant presidential sites
in the nation. In the upstairs bedroom, which is remarkably unchanged
since 1862, he worked on the Emancipation Proclamation. He liked to sit
under a huge copper beech tree while his son Thad sat in the branches. In
2000 Anderson Cottage was named a national monument, and a restoration
effort, spearheaded by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is
currently underway.
Soldiers' Home is still a residence for retired veterans. One of the first
cemeteries established during the Civil War, Soldiers' Home National
Cemetery, is also on the site. In 1864, there was no more burial space left on
its six acres, a shortage that led to the establishment of Arlington Cemetery
on the grounds of Robert E. Lee's estate across the Potomac River in
Virginia. Among those buried here are Union General John A. Logan, who
later represented Illinois in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

25 August 2005 RE-EVALUATION, FILE #21: JULIA ANN DRYSDALE
First three paragraphs:
Having looked at the three census years (1801, 1820, 1830) for the John and James
Drysdale families, I concur with your analysis regarding Julia Ann Drysdales
parentage. This is mostly based on her being the right age to be a female still in the John
Drysdale household in 1830.
However, I am less certain of the connection you make regarding John Drysdales
parentage, based on footnote 3. I dont see how this proves Johns fathers name.
Paragraph six:
Susan Lederers internet correspondence lacks a source for her material. Do you have
documentary proof of the marriage of John and Martha, as quoted in her e-mail?
Footnotes regarding Julia Anns marriage and also the Folger Manuscript are very
good, as are your conclusions drawn in the paragraph referencing footnotes 18 and 19.
I think that you are probably correct in believing that Mary Hiatt/Hyatt is either John
Worths first mother-in-law, or some other close kinswoman of his first wife Elizabeth.
She may have been caring for Johns child, which would have been her grandchild.
After his first wifes death, John Worth and his young daughter remained on the Hiatt
property. This is certainly logical, since John is listed as a wagon maker, not a farmer,
and would not have had the need for his own land. (One of my great-great
grandfathers in Iowa was a barrel maker and never owned land, making him very hard
to trace.)
Technically, John and Julia Ann Drysdale lived with Mary Hiatt, not vice versa, since
Mary Hiatt owned the land they lived on. I wonder how Julia Ann and Mary got
along? Two adult women in one household, with one holding the ace.the land!
Fascinating!
Moving on to John Worths children, it is difficult to prove Martha A., Mary E. and
Stephen L. as children of John and Julia Ann since Mary Jane may have brought one
or more of them into the marriage! Lets do the math. Julia Ann died 10 April 1856.
John remarried just a few months later, 1 January 1857. This is not unusual for that era,
since he was left with several young children who needed a mother.
Adalaska is listed as four in 1860 also as two in 1860; 13 in 1870; 21 in 1880. Therefore,
he has a birth date of possibly 1856, 1857, 1858, or 1859. He could have been born as
early as September of 1857, which would have made him a few months short of age
four in the 1860 census. There were a lot of children in the household in 1860. It would
be easy to make a mistake of a year or so in listing a childs age under those
circumstances. Note that the census taker got Adalaskas gender wrong on one of the
two census reports! (In your notes, where there are dual 1860 census entries, you
should enter both sets of data.) I do think it is safe to assume that Adalaska is a child of
John and Julia Anns.
More thoughts on whose children are whose:
Since Mary Jane was Mary Jane Lemon Stephens, supposedly, at the time of her
marriage to John Worth, the name Stephen becomes intriguing. Was Stephen named
for her late husband? Often when a woman with children remarried, the children were
listed with the stepfathers surname in censuses where they were minors living under
the same roof. Often as adults, male stepchildren revert to their fathers surnames. This
makes it much harder to determine parentage.
If one of the three mystery children is Mary Janes, I think it is Stephen, based on the
name Stephen, and the Stephens surname. That would make a total of seven children
for Mary Jane: Armilda, Stephen, Adalaska, Indiana, Ida, Eliza/Lydia, and Louisa B.
(Of course, Martha also is listed as having a mother born in Ohio in the 1870 census;
darn!)
Regarding Martha A. and Mary E. I doubt that Julia failed to produce at least one
child between Chesterfields birth in 1850 and her death in 1856, given her childbearing
pattern. I believe that Martha and Mary are most likely hers. This is only gut feeling on
my part.
This has been a really complex file, due to the marriages, re-marriages, dual censuses
and mystery children. Perhaps in time more documents will surface to help prove
conclusively who the parents of Martha A., Mary E., and Stephen were and who Mary
Jane Lemons husband was!
I will be tackling more files later this week, but wanted to get this one to you right
away.

REPORT FOR CURT OLDER
SOME DESCENDANTS OF DANIEL WORTH
This is interesting, with the connections to O. Henry, Gov. Jonathan Worth, etc.
You need consistency with the way you write the dates (i.e., 10th 12 mo. 1739 should be
10 December 1739 or December 10, 1739, whichever form you choose for your book).
You have a mixture of both in this narrative.
I now understand why Rev. Daniel Worth was in jail for a year, due to his abolitionist
views! I am surprised no one shot him during those chaotic times.
I found it interesting in your last entry for John Worth where you listed YOUR
relationship to John Worth. I think this narrative would be all the more interesting if you
listed your relationship to each of the eleven persons profiled, just as you did with John
Worth, even if the relationship is a distant one.
