Researcher Notes
1. Obadiah and Temperance may have had another child; Temperance. A note in Family Records in poss of Sandra J. Vin which states: Note !FAMILY RECORDS !C# 54 !C#Dec 1989 Louise Gallop ltr to Ila Clark !Walworths of America, 1897 RES To New York State to visit sister and while there married George Racey, when Ann Eliza was a baby, Temperance left her husband and returned to Vermont where, after a few years, she married Daniel Cox in Fairfax. After Mr Cox died Temperance went to live with her dau, then returned to VT where she died.
I have not found any records to confirm any relationship other than this note and am thus postponing the merge of Walworth-339 and Walworth-208

Daughter Temperance matches wife's name Temperance. Had a daughter Edna listed in book. Sure looks like a match unless you can prove two different death dates. Family records are not accurate, either are books. Children are sometimes missing it books.
Walworth book says there were two children. With Vermont being place of birth at the time Vermont drove many "Yorkers" to Jericho NY. any other family could be lost to the author and may need other sources. He married a Temperance and could easily have named child that as well, very common.
