She remembered a story of her great grandmother giving a child up for adoption. She was not sure if she named him Bobby and then his name was changed to Jerry or if Jerry maybe his adoptive parents older son. On the right is a picture of Minnie Farrow (second from left).

1.3.2.4B.1.2.1.4.1. Daniel S. Worsham b 3 Mar 1856 Sullivan Co, TN & d 21 Mar 1923 Spartanburg, SC as D. S. Worsham. (South Carolina Death Records)
There has been some controversy over the name of Daniel’s wife Lura Rezine Brooks whom he married 13 Aug 1880. In the Jun 1880 Madison Co, NC census Daniel Warshaw is listed with his wife Leatha Warshaw age 19. In the 1900 Spring Creek, Madison, NC census, he is Dan S. Washam age 44 b Jan 1856 TN with wife Elura R. Age 39 b Dec 1860. It looks like Leatha & Elura are two different individuals. Elura R. being Lura Rezine whom he married 13 Aug 1880. In the 1870 Spring Creek, Madison, NC census, there is a Lethy C. Brooks age 10 listed with her mother, Frances Brooks age 33. Therefore, it appears that Daniel was married twice, 1st) to Lethy C. Brooks abt 1879 & 2nd) to Lura Resign Brooks 13 Aug 1880. It is probable that Lethy C. (b abt 1860) died in childbirth when their daughter Theodosia was born 30 Jun 1880. Lura and Lethy are the d/o Terrell Anderson Brooks & Frances Elizabeth Lusk. (1870 Township 8, Madison, NC census) Lura Resign Brooks "Laura Rezine" b 15 Dec 1860 Madison, NC & d 2 Oct 1961 Hendersonville, Henderson, NC.
There is another controversy: On Lura Resign Worsham’s death certificate, it is stated she was the wife of Joseph Daniel Worsham and her tombstone also states she was the wife of Joseph Daniel Worsham. The death certificate also has she was the daughter of Terrell Brooks & Rebecca Lusk. It appears there were two errors made when the informant Rev. Cecil Worsham gave information for the death certificate. Lura was the wife of Daniel S. Worsham and the wife of Terrell Brooks was Frances Elizabeth Lusk not Rebecca. (In the 1860 Madison Co., NC census T. A. Brooks is listed with his wife Elizabeth G. Brooks age 23 with son Joseph A. Brooks age 2. In the 1870 Spring Creek, Madison, NC is Frances Brooks age 33 with children: Joseph A. Brooks age 12, Lethy C. Age 10, Laura J. Age 8, Levrell A. (Teyrill) Age 6 & Lonzo T. Al Hamann, 2009) Terrell Sr enlisted in the Civil War 7 Apr 1861 Madison Co, NC as a private in Company H, North Carolina 2nd Infantry Battalion.

was from Randy's grandfathers pictures.
Daniel Worsham's sister married Lura's brother, ie, Adaline Ellen Worsham "Addie" m Terrell Anderson Brooks (see 1.3.2.4B.1.2.1.4.7. on page 156) (ref: Terrell Anderson Brooks Jr.

Before 1920, Daniel m 3rd) Lucy J James, d/o James Madison James b abt 1841 SC. Lucy was b abt 1871 of Spartanburg, SC & d 13 Oct 1927 Spartanburg, SC. In the District 106, Spartanburg, Spartanburg, SC census are Daniel S Worsham age 63 b VA & Lucy age 49 b SC. They are living with his father in law, James M James age 79 b SC.

1.3.2.4B.1.2.1.4.1A.1. Theodosia Worsham "Dosha" was Dosha Worsham 1.3.2.4B.1.2.1.4.1.2. It is probable that her mother, Lethy C. (b abt 1860), died in childbirth when their daughter Theodosia was born 30 Jun 1880. Her obit is in the Spartanburg Herald and Herald Journal, Spartanburg, SC, 1950, as Theodosia Washam Brown, Spartanburg, w/o S. J. Brown, 3-21-50 p. 5. Abt 1897 she m Swan Jefferson Brown.

"Sallie" b 14 Mar 1871 VA. (Ollie Curry, 2001) Ollie Curry's
father was Sanders Baxter who d. 1963. His father, Sanders
Baxter m Sarah Jane Worsham
"Sallie" in Slabtown, Cocke Co., TN, Dec 24, 1887. They were md by
Charlie Goodnough. Sallie's "family lived in NC when my grandfather went to
the town she lived in and met her. They lived around the area for about a year,
then went by train to Texas, and bought land in Shannon, (Clay Co) TX, and
raised their family. Sallie is bur in the Shannon Cem. Her cousin, went to Texas
by train, and md William Alexander Baxter, Sanders brother. Her family thinks
she was a mail order bride, but I told them she was a cousin of Sallie's, and
Sallie probably got them together. I have Sallie's bible. My father was the next
to youngest. Sallie
had 12 children. Two children died, one as a baby, a girl, and one about 10
years of age, another girl. Sallie had heart trouble, and died in her early
50's. My father only knew his mother's name, not where she was from or anything.
She could read and write, and corresponded with her family for years, but never
went back to NC. The story that was passed down was that Sallie and Sanders
walked 20 miles, crossed a railroad track into Tn to get married. The marriage
license had Washburn as her maiden name, but I think now that was a mistake, it
may have been how she pronounced it that it sounded like Washburn. (Ollie Curry,
2001) The family is in the 1900 Clay Co,
