He applied for a pension even though he fought for the South. (jb-Pension was paid for by Southrons of Texas as in all the CSA States.)

On his pension application, it stated he was 68 years old on 15 Nov 1903 or b 1835. He was actually b 1839 according to census records.

There were two affidavits included with the pension application papers. One is signed by J. J. Colson in regards to the funeral expenses that he paid for William T. The other is signed by the doctor of record. Both say William d on 12 Feb 1923.

A family story said that the reason William Thomas Worsham and Tennessee moved to Texas in 1875 was that William T. had killed his brother back in Louisiana. Since his elder brother lived until 1888 and his younger one married in 1876, perhaps there was a Richard after all.
