Cassidy, 2003,
writes:
"I'm the g-g-grandaughter of Mariah Worsham. Mariah and
Dabney, as well as Mariah's sister "Aunt Dee" and her husband
"Col. Allen", lived in Amelia on the farm that I grew up knowing as
"the Old Hardy farm." My father grew up on that farm and remembers
Aunt Dee as well as being told about Col Allen and my father's g-grandparents,
Mariah and Dabney. I have photos of Mariah, Aunt Dee and Col Allen. I also
have an
 old photo album that belonged either to Mariah or Aunt Dee. The only
photo's with names on them are Margaret Virginia Worsham, Lutie Worsham and Willie
Worsham. We are reasonably sure that
one of the other photos is Mariah as a young woman and another is Col Allen.
There are an additional 9 photo's that are unidentified. Also, Aunt Dee's and
Col. Allen's graves are located on the farm I mentioned above. We are planning
to put up a marker to properly identify the graves. Right now there are a
handful of us who know where their unmarked graves are located."
The first and
second pictures were taken in Richmond, VA and were printed by the
same  photographer on the same stock with the same decoration. The next two
pictures (3rd and 4th) of the children were taken by the same photographer, ie,
G. W. Minnis, 47 Sycamore
Streeet, established 1847 and the
picture of the young girl has the following written below the photo: "My
best love to all.
Guess who I am." The fifth picture of the two young men are
believed to be Worsham's.
On the back of the sixth photo, the young woman with a Mexican style
comb in the back of her hair, is "J. T. Hendrick,

Cindy
would love to get all the people identified; anyone who has photos of
Worsham's who lived in the 1800's and are connected to the ones in Amelia
would be appreciated.
Additional children are added who were listed in the Worsham Family Bible.
Numbering is to be changed accordingly:

Dabney Hardy 14 Dec 1847
Amelia Co., VA, Wm. T. Blackwell sec & Richard E. G. Adams, wc.
(Amelia Co., VA Marriages) Dabney was the son of Vincent Hardy and Sarah
Orgain. This was Dabney's 2nd mrg. Dabney and Maria are in the 1850 and 1860 and
Maria L Hardy is in the 1870 & 1880 Lunenburg Co, VA census. Cindy Hardy
Luongo Cassidy, 2003, writes: "I'm the g-g-grandaughter of Mariah Worsham.
Mariah and Dabney, as well as Mariah's sister "Aunt Dee" and her
husband "Col. Allen", lived in Amelia on the farm that I grew up
knowing as "the Old Hardy farm". My father grew up on that farm and
remembers Aunt Dee as well as being told about Col Allen and my father's
g-grandparents, Mariah and Dabney. I have photos of Mariah, Aunt Dee and Col
Allen. I also have an old photo album that belonged either to Mariah or Aunt
Dee. The only photo's with names on them Margaret Virginia Worsham, Lutie
Worsham and Willie (can't read his middle initial) Worsham's photos. We are
reasonably sure that one of the other photos is Mariah as a young woman and
another is Col Allen. There are an additional 9 photo's that are unidentified.
Also, Aunt Dee's and Col. Allen's graves are located on the farm I mentioned
above. We are planning to put up a marker to properly identify the graves. Right
now there are a handful of us who know where their unmarked graves are
located." Cindy would love to get all the people identified; anyone who has
photos of Worsham's who lived in the 1800's and are connected to the ones in
Amelia would be appreciated.
