Thank you for your response. John Monroe Worley was born 27 January 1825 in Virginia. He died 1926 at the age of 101 in Baker, Oregon. My profile for him is Worley-703 on Wikitree. The easiest way to access it is to click on the name under the picture, which will take you to his profile, or to type John Monroe Worley Wikitree in your browser and it pops right up. Interestingly his obituary had a typo and listed him as John W. Worley, but on his profile page I have a picture of his headstone, which shows the John M.
He and Matilda Katherine (Forgy) had 10 children, and one of them was John H. Worley. He drowned in the natatorium at the age of 23.
On familysearch.org I found numerous John Worley's from Virginia in about that same era, so it is very confusing. One reason I want to connect with others is specifically to find DNA corroboration for the possibility that he may have been married and had another family before he met my great grandmother. Another reason is to find someone who may have gone by the nickname 'Slim" to help solve a family mystery.
