Looking for information about Richard WORTH who died sometime before Aug. 9, 1865. I
found the following on the INGenWeb, De Kalb Co. website:
Notice to sell Real Estate by Albert J. MASON Administrator of Estate of Richard WORTH.
Dated August 9, 1865. DeKalb Democrat August 10, 1865.
Any information about him would be appreciated.
My great-grandfather was Richard Worth HEDRICKS (?Hendrix).
He was b. Mar 1859 (?location); he d. Nov 13, 1939 in Richland, Spencer Co., IN. He
married Lucy MAHONEY in Trimble Co., KY - license dated 4 Mar 1879. I have his locations
from 1879 Trimble/Carroll Co., KY until his death in 1939, but I cannot find him in an
1860 or 1870 Census.
According to Richard's obituary, he was orphaned young. I have found one document
that has his parents' names as James Hedricks (b.IN) and Jane Saddler (b. KY).
One of the peripheral lines from the Mahoney's connects to Evan WORTH,Sr. (b. 1814,
KY) who is in Morgan Co., IL by 1837 where he married Lorinda DOUGLASS. They had 5 sons:
Oatha, James, Evan Jr., Charles and Willet.
I know it's a long shot to try to connect Richard WORTH and Richard Worth HEDRICKS,
but, I have been looking for such a very long time so I try to leave no stone unturned.
Thanks for any help or advice.
Jane
