I cannot find any Worthen nor Russell families living in Fountain County on the earliest
township maps that I have. Nor do I find any Worthen in the cemetery records. In the book
COUNTIES OF WARREN, BENTON, JASPER, AND NEWTON INDIANA 1883, I did find the name Asa
Worthen in the index. When i went to the page that was indicated, it was telling the
voters in 1836 in Washington Township. Asa Worthen is mentioned as a voter that year. I
looked in the Warren County cemetery records, but found no worthens buried in the
cemeteries there either. It looks like the family was living in another county besides
Fountain and Warren in later years, since they are not showing up in the cemetery
records.
