1. Jacob D. Worsham b. abt 1810 VA md Mary Gleason 9 Sep 1834 Montgomery Co, AL.
Jacob is likely the son of Green Worsham (Page 493, 2.1.2.1.4.6.) b 18 Dec 1779 of Dinwiddie, VA who in 1820 had 2 males age < 11 and 2 males < 16 years living in his household. Also Jacob's first son was named Green Worsham.
In the 1840 Montgomery Co, AL cens. is J. D. Worshum: 1m age 20-30, 4 m age 30-40, 2 f age <5, 2 f age 20-30. (p207) Mary Gleason is believed to be the Mary S. Yeager age 42 b NC in the 1860 Montgomery Co, AL cens and Mary S. Yager, age 49 b NC in the 1870 Montgomery Co, AL cens. In the 1880 Montgomery, Montgomery, AL Cens, Mary S. Yager age 62 b NC. In the Montgomery, AL Directory, is Mrs M L Yeager 236 Lee street. Of significance, is in the 1893 directory she is Mary S Yeager, widow Jacob and boards 615 Clayton Montgomery AL. Jacob D. Worsham probably m 2nd) Sarah A. E. "Sallie" abt 1845 of Baker Co, GA. He is in the 1850 Baker Co, GA cens. as Jacob D. Worsham age 39 b VA and the 1860 Baker Co, GA cens. as J. G.

Children of Jacob and Mary:
1A.1. Elizabeth V. Worsham "Lizzy" md John W. Kenney 28 Jun 1859 Mobile Co., AL. (bk 17 p156) They are in the 1860 Montgomery, Montgomery, AL cens, living with Mary S. Yeager as John W Kenney age 29 b PA clerk, and E V Kenney age 24 b AL. In the 1880 Montgomery Co, AL cens, John W. Kenny is age 49 b PA, Elizabeth Kenney 39 AL, and Mary S. Yager is living with them. In the 1885 Montgomery AL directory is John W Kenney, r 211 Church, Lehman-Durr Co. clerk. It looks like Mary Yeager/Yager could be the mother of Elizabeth Kenney. Elizabeth V. Kenney died 1 Oct 1911 Montgomery. (Vol 19 Cert 577)
1A.2. Edward Henry Worsham b Dec 1845 of Montgomery Co., AL m. 1st) M. Ella m. 2nd) Isabella "Belle" Cayton 17 Jan 1888 Montgomery Co., AL. (IGI) Isabella was the dau of Samuel L.

(Vol 19 Cert 577) Edward enlisted in the CSA Co. G. 3rd regiment, AL Infantry as Edward H. Worsham on 26 Apr 1861 in Montgomery Co., AL for 12 months.
