Source 4: 352. MARY11 CASE (ISABEL10 ROCKWOOD, REUBEN9, MARGARET8 PHIPPS, JOHN7, JOHN6, JAMES5, WILLIAM4, ROBERT3) was born May 15, 1795 in Camden, Oneida Co., New York, and died January 11, 1840 in Grafton, Lorain Co., Ohio. She married AMOS PRENTISS WORDEN, son of JOSEPH WORDEN and AMY LAMB. He was born September 05, 1780 in Groton, New London Co., Connecticut, and died July 02, 1841 in Grafton, Lorain Co., Ohio. Any more on this family?

Children of MARY CASE and AMOS WORDEN are: i. JOHN12 WORDEN, b. Abt. 1818, Antwerp, Jefferson Co., New York. ii. ISABELL WORDEN, b. Abt. 1820, Antwerp, Jefferson Co., New York. 781. iii. JOANNA CASE WORDEN, b. February 17, 1822, Antwerp, Jefferson Co., New York; d. May 05, 1902, Vernal, Uinta Co., Utah. iv. MARY E. WORDEN, b. Abt. 1823, Grafton, Lorain Co., Ohio. 782. v. MARIETTA CALISTA WORDEN, b. March 30, 1824, Latay, Jefferson Co., New York; d. June 03, 1879, Snowflake, Maricopa Co., Arizona. vi. NATHANIEL PRENTISS WORDEN, b. April 09, 1826, Rutland, Jefferson Co., New York; d. February 27, 1907, Pima, Graham Co., Arizona; m. (1) ANNA CROWLEY, January 15, 1846, Nauvoo, Hancock Co., Illinois; m. (2) HARRIET ELVIRA TEEPLES, January 13, 1850; b. October 15, 1830, Pontiac, Livingston Co., Michigan; d. October 06, 1911, Eden, Weber Co., Utah, daughter of GEORGE B. TEEPLES and HULDAH COLBY; m. (3) MARY E. BUTTERFIELD, Abt. 1851, Nauvoo, Hancock Co., Illinois; m. (4) NANCY MCTATE/MCCLOT, July 15, 1863, Salt Lake, Salt Lake Co., Utah. Burial: February 28, 1907, Pima, Graham Co., Arizona vii. HANNAH LOUISA WORDEN, b. November 11, 1827, Antwerp, Jefferson Co., New York; d. July 03, 1842. Either this or the other below are obviously wrong. Also it appears these two Hannah's death dates match the death dates of brothers Anson and Amos below. This info is from the IGI but is certainly confused. Who can straighten it out for me? viii. HANNAH LOUISA WORDEN, b. November 11, 1829, Grafton, Lorain Co., Ohio; d. December 22, 1845; m. ELIJAH BARROWS KEYES; b. March 28, 1806, Chenango Co., New York; d. September 27, 1855, Provo, Utah, son of HYRUM KEYES and MARTHA BARROWS. ix. ANSON MILLER WORDEN, b. May 20, 1834, Rutland, Jefferson Co., New York; d. July 03, 1842. x. AMOS MILLER WORDEN, b. May 26, 1834, Rutland, Jefferson Co., New York; d. December 22, 1845. Again, the info on these two persons seems to be confused. How could Amos b. born 6 days after Anson in the same year? Are they one and the same person? Or are they twins with one birthdate incorrect? Why do their death dates match the death dates of the two Hannah Worden's above? Please help! xi. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WORDEN, b. 1836, Grafton, Lorain Co., Ohio; d. July 03, 1908, Laharpe, Hancock Co., Illinois; m. ANN PARR, May 12, 1860, Hancock Co., Illinois. Burial: Laharpe Cemetery, Laharpe, Hancock Co., Illinois.
