is taken from the 1895 Membership Annual of the Confederate Veteran Assn. of
Kentucky (5th Edition, Lexington). In the great majority of cases, the images in
this book have been altered from originals by having uniforms drawn onto them
... they normally do not show original uniforms. The exceptions to this may be
the image of Richard Worsham, 2nd Kentucky Infantry. Thompson's "History of
the Orphan Brigade" presents unpublished or less commonly seen images of
Orphan Brigade soldiers and veterans, with an emphasis on the enlisted men of
the Brigade. For other images of Orphan Brigade soldiers, see Orphan Brigade

1.3.2.4B.1.1.3. Joseph Worsham b 18 Feb 1800
Washington Co, VA. His birth date and death date is on the back of his wife's stone in the cemetery in Upton, Texas Co., MO. It reads died 21 Mar 1834, 34 years 1 month 3 days in east Tenn.
(Don R. Seward, 2000) Amanda d/o John Lewis & Caroline Matilda Tankersley.
Joseph's wife, Amanda Melvina Lewis, is listed as Amanade Washam in the 1840 Monroe Co., TN census,
p 184 with 2 males 5-10 & 2 males 10-15; 1 female 15-20 & she is 30-40.
She is age 43 as Amanda Washam in the 1850 Monroe Co., TN census with sons:
Radford age 25, John age 20 & Marion age 14. Marion age 24 is again listed
with Amanda Washam & her son John Washam in the 1860 Greene Co., MO census.
If Joseph died in 1834, it does not seem reasonable that Marion b abt 1836 could
be their son unless a date is incorrect.
