1.3.2.4B.1.2.1.5. Robert S. Lee Washam b. 11
Sep 1834 Sullivan Co, TN. md 1st) Catherine Bushong
& 2nd Rebecca E. Booker. It is possible
that he was the Robert Worsham who was m. to Lucinda
Mary Ann Miller who d before 3 Oct 1859 Sullivan Co., TN. Lucinda
Mary Ann wrote her will on 9 Jun 1859 in which she left her husband, Robert
Worsham, her "entire interest in the land left me by my father Wm Miller
dec’d lying in Carter Co., TN in the Crab Orchard also my entire interest in
the estate of my Grand Mother Elizabeth Mackinturf deceased which she inherited
of her father Sherrell deceased late of Putnam Co., Indiana." Lucinda b abt
1841 TN. Jay G. Lamb found the above mentioned will in the Carter Co., TN
courthouse. Included was a 22 Mar 1860 receipt for $88.80 paid to Robert
Worsham. Also in the Carter Co., TN courthouse were found papers regarding the
estate of William Miller. His will names Lucinda M. A. Washam as a daughter. In
guardianship papers for the Miller children, she was identified as Mary A.
Worsham.
Robert S. Washam is in
the 1860 Sullivan Co., TN census age 25 day laborer, p 138 with his wife
Catherine & daughter Martha M. Washam age 6. His mother Rebecca Washam age
55 is head of the household with $200 P.E.
He is living next to
Samuel Kelly in the 1870 Greene Co., TN census who has a son living with him by
the name of George W. Kelley. George W. Kelley md Rosie Worsham who is Robert S.
Worsham's niece, the daughter of his brother, William Odell Washam. (see page
155, 1.3.2.4B.1.2.1.4.6. Rosanna Lee Worsham) Listed in the 1870 District #2, Gonsleys Bridge, Greene Co., TN census, pg 184 is Robert Washam age 36,
occupation colier. Also in his household is George W. Washam age 24 (b. abt.
1846) TN, Mary T. Washam age 16 (b. abt. 1854) TN & Robert's 2nd) wife,
Rebecca E., age 38 and children: Martha E. Washam age 9; Nancy N. Washam age 6;
Laura A. Washam age 3 & William D. age 1 month. A George W. Washam served
the CSA in TN 6th (Wheeler's) Cav. Co. It is possible that Mary T. Washam is the
wife of George W. Washam as we have not been able to place Mary T. Washam in any
other census record.
From the Family History Library Catalog "Tombstone records, Greene County,
TN, Historical Records Project (Tennessee) FHL Film 24668 Items 2-3, p. 288,

Probate Index Volume 2 1920-1959 Young Co., TX: Worsham W. D. p87. (1/12-1870;
10-1880; 49-1920) The following information was received from Frances Burkett,
2000: "William Delaney Worsham brought his new bride, Mary Elizabeth Long
out of Oklahoma to Texas in the year 1896, making their home in Mineola for a
while then to Bowie, Texas. After a short time in Mineral Wells, the young
couple moved their family for the last time and settled in Graham where they
purchased a farm north of town in the Flint Creek Community. They remained on
the farm until "Jake's" poor health required the move into town to
be near the family physician. Before failing health, Jake and his close
friend, Homer Brigham worked together buying, selling or trading mules, horses
and cattle in and around Young county. Mr Brigham owned a truck and drove Jake
and whatever livestock they had bought or traded to their destination. Jake
would sometimes buy some poor and neglected animal and with good feed, water
and the necessary care, restore them back to stock worthy of a good sale
price. He was known by his neighbors as a kind, generous and honest man. Mary
Elizabeth "Lizzy" tended to her family, sewing to provide clothing,
cooking and cleaning. A quilt frame, hanging from the ceiling, always had a
quilt in progress. She was always ready to help out her neighbors. She
assisted in the deliveries of some of the neighborhood babies. Her children
remember coming home from school and always finding fresh baked sweet potatoes
on the back of the wood stove in the kitchen. Jake kept peanut hay in the loft
of his barn. The children and grandchildren would spend hours in the loft
laughing, talking, playing with kittens and eating peanut. The old well near
the kitchen door provided the best drinking water in the country for the hot
and thirsty visitor. Jake b in Shelby Co, Tennessee 29 May 1871. He came to
Texas as a small child and later moved to Oklahoma. He told his family of
herding sheep when he was very small boy and of how lonely he would get. The
story is told that, as a young man, he bought and sold mules to the U. S.
Army. Mary Elizabeth b in Nacogdoches, Texas to Samuel Houston and Luanna Carnley Long, 28 July 1879. Her family left Texas after 1880, moving to Lindsey, Oklahoma (Lindsay, Garvin Co, OK) where she and her sister Josephine were raised along with a half brother, William Cochran. She married Jake Worsham about 1896. Together they raised ten children; Eva May Worsham Gregory, Ethel (died in Mineola at age 18 months), Maggie Lee Worsham Burkett, Laska Worsham Atwell, Mabel Worsham Johnson, Lloyd Howard Worsham, Carl J. Worsham, Fannie Leona Worsham Alcorn, Jonnie B. Worsham Orr and Thelma Elizabeth Worsham Stanton.
Evenings at the Worsham home found the children gathered around Momma and Papa. Papa played the fiddle and he and Momma sang all the old songs. Carl "Rusty" learned to play the mandolin and Lloyd "Bud" learned to play the guitar.
Prostate cancer claimed the life of Jake Worsham 20 December 1938. Mary Elizabeth Worsham resided on Indiana Street after his death for the thirty-six years. She died 30 May 1974."
His Obituary was in the "The Graham Leader" Thursday Dec. 22, 1938, Graham, Young County, TX:
PROMINENT YOUNG COUNTY RANCHMAN DIES HERE TUESDAY
"Funeral services for W. D. Worsham, 67, prominent Young county ranchman, were conducted in the chapel of the Morrison Funeral Home Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Mr. Worsham died Tuesday morning after a long illness.
The service was conducted by Rev. B. E.
Kimbrow, Methodist circuit pastor, assisted by Rev. Hugh B. Warner, pastor of the First Christian Church. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs. H. M.
Tebay, Mrs. Marvin Prim, Furman Christopher, and Raymon Thompson, with Miss Emma Cloe Cook at the organ.
Mr. Worsham b in Tennessee on May 29, 1871. As a small boy he came with his family to Texas, and lived in Hill county until 1907, when he moved to Young county. For about thirty years he engaged in ranching and farming northeast of Graham. He was well known throughout the section, and was held in high esteem for his splendid character and integrity.
Surviving him are his wife, six daughters, Mrs. Albert Burkett, Mrs. Everett Atwell, Mrs. Joe Johnson, Mrs. J. W. Alcorn, Mrs. Wade Orr, Mrs. W. T. Bower; two sons, Carl and L. H. Worsham; and 11 grandchildren. Pallbearers were sons-in-law of Mr. Worsham. They were Albert Burkett, Everett Atwell, Joe Johnson, J. W. Alcorn, Wade Orr, and W. T. Bower."
In "The Graham Leader" Thursday Dec 22, 1938: FLINT CREEK:
"The Worsham family have the most heartfelt sympathy of their friends in this community in the loss of their husband and father. The Worsham family made their home in this community many years, having moved to Graham last year. Uncle Jake, as Mr. Worsham was lovingly called, was highly respected by all who knew him and his passing brought sadness to many hearts."
In the "The Graham Leader" Thursday May (30) , 1974 is:
Farewell To An
Oldtimer, Written in memory of Mrs. Mary Worsham, by Ed Spivey.
"Many people of the Graham area were saddened last week by the passing of Mrs Mary Worsham, almost ninety five years old. As I attended the funeral service I thought of the years that I had known the family. My father and "Uncle Jake" Worsham were close friends when I was a child. Then in my youth I enjoyed the companionship of their youngsters in my age group. Then I thought of the twilight years, and the love and devotion of her family as they attended to her needs. As I listened to her pastor tell about her devotion to God and His church, the thought came to me that the unselfish life that she had lived has been reflected in the lives of her family. I am glad that they are my friends. "For the Lord of the harvest has thrust in his sickle and gathered the golden grains for his own."
