The Worsham's, Vinson's and Bone's are all intermarried; my grandfather James Henry Vinson had a half brother named Thomas Worsham. He lived in East Prairie, MO till he died in 1962.

They had the same mother, Rachael Lucy Bone md a Vinson, then a Worsham, then another Vinson, M. O. Vincent. She would be my great grandma on my mothers side. My fathers mother was a Bone and that makes them related too. Thomas Worsham md Rachael Lucy Vinson 10/11/1882 by J. L. Bone JP with witnesses, J. Evans and Allen Courtney and Wm. Brazzell.

“The Tommy Worsham I remember had no children. He and his wife, Evie Mae Warren, adopted a son Thomas Lloyd Worsham b Aug 31, 1936. He lives in St. Louis."

Jo Ann Kurtz, 1998, writes:

Ggrandmother's (Martha Ada Vinson Bone) sister or cousin, not sure which, was named Lute Vinson. Lute's married name was Worsham (husband's unknown). She had a son Tommy Worsham. My ggrandfather, Jasper Bone, had a sister Mary Dolly Bone Wilmoth (b 1867). Mary Dolly Wilmoth had two daughters, Iler and Inor Wilmoth (b late 1880s since her mother was b 1867). The story is that Tommy Worsham shot Inor Wilmoth, she died 16 days later. The Bone family members were all b in Hickman Co, KY. I believe the shooting must have taken place in or around East Prairie, MO since the Bones and Vinsons moved there in the early 1900s. I have an old photo of Inor as an adult (18 to 25) so the incident must have taken place in the 1920s, another assumption.

Worsham, at Herrin and was married Sept. 23, 1909 at Marion. The family moved from West Frankfort to Alton in 1933 and resided in Upper Alton until three years ago when they moved to the present address. She was a member of Main Street Baptist church and was active there until her health prevented her from attending. Young people acquainted with the children still residing at home, Jack, Billie and Joyce, enjoyed visiting in the Bowman home and Mrs. Bowman's jovial personality brought the young people there often. Her one desire was to live and see her children grown and established in life. The youngest child, Joyce, was graduated from Alton High School with the June class. Besides her husband and children residing at home she is survived by four other children, Mrs. Floyd Huffstutler, Mrs. Clyde Steele Jr, Mrs. Joseph Greenwall and Floyd Bowman Jr. , all of Alton; a sister, Mrs. Ada Barham of Johnson City. A sister, Mrs. Mary Willis of Alton preceded her in death a year ago. She also leaves 13 grandchildren.

Worsham unknown William Lucretia Branch.jpg (58562 bytes)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 Worsham unk William Lucretia Branch family2.jpg (62761 bytes) 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 sameWorsham relate William and Lucretia Branch3.jpg (34849 bytes) Worsham unk William Lucretia Branch family.jpg (60167 bytes)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, Shadder, Catcher, Texas."
