| Birth |
between 1735 and 1741 |
Joseph Worley was born between 1735 and 1741 at Goochland County, VA. |
|
|
He was the son of John Worley Jr.. |
| Note |
|
I suspect that his wife was a Reynaud, from the French settlement at Manakintown. If not, it's a very unusual name for his son. |
| Note |
|
Why I think Joseph was probably the son of John Worley Jr: He lived in the same places as John Jr and/or John III more than once (Cumberland in 1757 and Campbell in the 1790s) and was associated with them in more than one document (The draft in 1757 and the marriage of his daughter Rhoda to John's son Moses). Also the men I believe to be his sons lived in the same places as other family members (Renny and Joshua both moved to Bedford, where Uncle William was, and Daniel moved to Franklin, where John III's family was. That makes him pretty obviously related. If he was old enough to be drafted in 1757, then the only family members who were old enough to be his father were William and John Jr. We know he was not the son of William because William named his children in his will, and Joseph was not one of them. |
| Fact 1 |
20 June 1757 |
On 20 June 1757, at Cumberland County, VA,, At a court for "draughting" soldiers "in pursuance of an Act of Assembly entitled An Act for Granting Aid to His Majesty, for better protection of this colony," the following persons were "adjudged to be soldiers." List of 15 names, including John Worley the 2nd, John Whorley the 3rd and Joseph Whorley, spelled as I spell them. They were to be "apprehended" and brought into court in one week. At the follow-up court on June 28, 1757, John Whorley the 2nd and 4 others were dismissed and the others were to be "delivered up to Capt. Poindexter Mosby." My guess is that the act required each county to supply a number of soldiers. This requires further research. The date of 1757 would place this happening during the French and Indian War..1 |
| Fact 1 |
5 September 1765 |
On 5 September 1765, at Charlotte County, VA,, Joseph Worley witnessed a deed between William Ussery and Richard Childres for 150 acres on a branch of Ward's Fork. This is from Deed Book 1, page 92. (His presumed sister Mary married James Smith, whose mother was a Childers AKA Childres. Maybe some connection?).2 |
| Fact 1 |
1 November 1775 |
On 1 November 1775, at Charlotte County, VA,, Joseph Whorley bought from William Copeland 100 acres on the Middle Fork of Cub Creek, adjoining Townson, John Copeland, Williams. Witnesses were Edmund Sumpter, John Copeland, William Watson Jr..3 |
| Fact 1 |
1782 |
In 1782, at Charlotte County, VA,, Joseph Whorley listed for Land tax, with 100 acres. I checked all the years from 1783-1791 and he is not listed again..4 |
| Fact 1 |
1782 |
In 1782, at Charlotte County, VA,, Joseph Worley was listed for personal property taxes. This was the first year for which tax lists have been saved. He was not present in 1783 or thereafter..5 |
| Fact 1 |
8 April 1783 |
On 8 April 1783, at Charlotte County, VA,, Account current of the estate of Joseph Marshall includes Joseph Whorley among list of debits..6 |
| Fact 1 |
29 June 1786 |
On 29 June 1786, at Charlotte County, VA,, Joseph Worley sold to Joshua Worley for 25 lbs, 100 acres on the waters of Little Cub Creek, bounded by Cock, William St. John, Emanuel Almond, Matthew Jordan. The land is said to be "clear of all titles dower," which I assume means Joseph's wife is deceased. Witnessed by Andrew Wallace, William Marshall, Matthew Jordan and John Hewitt..7 |
| Fact 1 |
between 1787 and 1789 |
Between 1787 and 1789, at Campbell County, VA,, Joseph Worley was listed for personal property taxes..8 |
| Fact 1 |
between 1787 and 1789 |
Between 1787 and 1789, at Campbell County, VA,, The Account Current of the estate of William Jones, deceased, includes debits for Joseph Worley for work done on the mill in 1787 and for building the mill house in 1789..9 |
| (Bondsman) Marriage |
9 May 1788 |
Joseph Worley was the bondsman for the marriage of Daniel Worley and Rachel Copeland on 9 May 1788 at Charlotte County, VA.10,11,12 |
| (Consentor) Marriage |
15 May 1789 |
Joseph Worley consented to the marriage of Moses Worley and Rhoda Worley on 15 May 1789 at Campbell County, VA.13 |
| Fact 1 |
1792 |
In 1792, at Campbell County, VA,, Joseph Worley was listed for personal property taxes. I cannot find where he went after this date. Possibly he died, but he was in good enough health in 1789 to be "building the mill house," so there's a good chance he moved west somewhere..8 |
| Birth |
between 1735 and 1741 |
John Worley III was born between 1735 and 1741 at Goochland County, VA. |
|
|
He was the son of John Worley Jr..1 |

circa 1759 |
John Worley III married Dorothy ? circa 1759. |
| Death |
3 March 1815 |
John Worley III died on 3 March 1815 at White County, TN.2 |
| Fact 1 |
20 June 1757 |
On 20 June 1757, at Cumberland County, VA,, At a court for "draughting" soldiers "in pursuance of an Act of Assembly entitled An Act for Granting Aid to His Majesty, for better protection of this colony," the following persons were "adjudged to be soldiers." List of 15 names, including John Worley the 2nd, John Whorley the 3rd and Joseph Whorley, spelled as I spell them. They were to be "apprehended" and brought into court in one week. At the follow-up court on June 28, 1757, John Whorley the 2nd and 4 others were dismissed and the others were to be "delivered up to Capt. Poindexter Mosby." My guess is that the act required each county to supply a number of soldiers. This requires further research. The date of 1757 would place this happening during the French and Indian War..3 |
| Fact 1 |
1764 |
In 1764, at Buckingham County, VA,, John Worley was listed for personal property taxes in the household of John Douglas, along with 5 slaves. This could be either John Jr or John III. My guess is that it is John III, for the following reasons: In 1778 John Worley of Buckingham Co sold the land in Powhatan County (formerly Cumberland) that was left in John Sr's will to John III with John Jr to live there for his life. So unless John III died young, this sale was by him after John Jr's death. This means that John III did live in Buckingham. A John Worley signed the oath of allegiance to the commonwealth in Powhatan Co in 1777, showing that one of the Johns remained there. So if only one John moved to Buckingham, it was John III. This is not a certainty though, because we know that Jr patented that land in Albemarle Co in 1745, and Buckingham was formed out of Albemarle. However, we know he lived in Cumberland (later Powhatan) in 1757 because his father's will mentioned "where he now lives," so we know he didn't stay on the Albemarle land.
.4 |
| Fact 1 |
between 1773 and 1774 |
Between 1773 and 1774, at Buckingham County, VA,, John Worley was listed for personal property taxes in the household of John Benning, along with Joel Bondurant. Total tithes in 1773 were 9 and total in 1774 were 10. This probably means the rest of the titheables were slaves, and Worley and Bondurant were overseers or some other type of employee. It is possible that this could be John Jr, but it is probably John III..5 |
| Fact 1 |
16 April 1778 |
On 16 April 1778, at Powhatan County, VA,, John Worley of Buckingham County sold to John Moseley 100 acres lying between Moseley and Trent. This is believed to be the land John III inherited in his grandfather's will, on which his father was to have the right to live for his lifetime. Therefore John Jr was probably dead by this date..6,7 |
| Fact 1 |
3 May 1780 |
On 3 May 1780, at Buckingham County, VA,, This entry in the surveyor's plat book on page 40: John Worley; May 3, 1780; 183 ac; on branches Wreck Island Creek, joining David Rogers, John Worley; transferred to John Worley by Nortley Gordon; transferred to John Miller November 20, 1793. But a review of the land tax books for 1782-1794 shows no record of John Worley being taxed on any land. Possibly the land was surveyed for Worley but not actually deeded or patented to him. On page 38 in the plat book Nortley Gordon has an entry for 60 acres on Bear Branch. This entry also says that it was transferred to John Miller November 20, 1793. Possibly Worley did not complete payment to Gordon and he retained the land, transferring it to Miller with other property later..8,9 |
| Fact 1 |
between 1782 and 1783 |
Between 1782 and 1783, at Buckingham County, VA,, John Worley was listed for personal property taxes in 1782 and 1783. The state of Virginia just started retaining the tax records in 1782, so it is not known how many years before then he was taxed. He did not show up in any years after 1783..10 |
| Fact 1 |
8 August 1785 |
On 8 August 1785, at Campbell County, VA,, John Worley was the bondsman for the marriage of Jane Taylor, widow of John Taylor, to William Newberry. Could Jane be his daughter?.11 |
| Fact 1 |
between 1786 and 1790 |
Between 1786 and 1790, at Campbell County, VA,, John Worley was listed for personal property taxes in 1786-1790 in Campbell County. The film began in 1784, when there were no Worleys listed. He did not appear after 1790. In 1790 Moses Worley, age 16-21, was listed with him..12 |
| Fact 1 |
31 March 1786 |
On 31 March 1786, at Campbell County, VA,, A deed from John Dawn to Josias Bullock was witnessed by John Worley and William Dawn. The land sold was 335 acres on the head of Dutchman's Branch, E. side Falling River adjoining William Jones and William Harris. From Campbell Co Deed Book 2, page 401..13 |
| Fact 1 |
15 May 1786 |
On 15 May 1786, at Campbell County, VA,, John and Doriathy Worley witnessed the will of John Dawn. It left everything to his wife Marget, to be divided among his children, not named, after her death. The will was also witnessed by a John Reynolds..14 |
| (Bondsman) Marriage |
10 February 1787 |
John Worley III was the bondsman for the marriage of Reynaud Renny Worley and Nancy Worley on 10 February 1787 at Campbell County, VA.15 |
| (Witness) Marriage |
15 May 1789 |
John Worley III witnessed the marriage of Moses Worley and Rhoda Worley on 15 May 1789 at Campbell County, VA.16 |
| Fact 1 |
4 June 1789 |
On 4 June 1789, at Campbell County, VA,, William Brooks and wife Betty sold to Thomas Jones 150 acres on the South Fork of Falling River, bounded by Pryor Wright, William Brooks, Jr, the mouth of Daughan's [Dawn's] Branch, "John Worley's line down to a lower mill seat," Edmund Wood and James Brooks. This is a mystery, because in the land tax lists of Campbell County for 1782-1799, no one name Worley was ever taxed on any land. Possibly he leased it. The same property was sold in 1795 by Thomas Jones to John Asher. That deed also mentioned John Worley's line. (Deed Bk 3, p 666).17,18,19 |
| Fact 1 |
between 1791 and 1799 |
Between 1791 and 1799, at Franklin County, VA,, John Worley was listed for personal property taxes in Franklin County. Before that there were no Worleys in Franklin County. In the first year John appeared he had 2 titheables (meaning he had a male over 16 living with him), and Moses Worley was also listed for the first time in Franklin, in his own household. In 1792 and 1793 John still had 2 titheables and Elijah Worley and William Worley were listed separately, as was Moses. By 1799, Joseph, Elijah, William, Moses, James and John were listed. Finch appeared for the first time in 1800, but John was not listed after that date. I believe John may still have been present but had attained an age beyond which he would not be taxed. Most of the sons (except Elijah, who was not found after 1803) remained on the list until 1809 or 1810. After that date none of them were listed in Franklin County. In some of these years Frail or Frale Worley was also listed. I believe he may be Flayll Worley, son of Francis Worley from Bedford County; he does not appear to be a son of John..20 |
| Fact 1 |
7 September 1795 |
On 7 September 1795, at Franklin County, VA,, John Worly of Franklin County bought from David Barton (DB 3 p 289) 155 acres on a branch of Auter (Otter) Creek adjoining Ferguson and Barton. In 1798, Barton sold 50 acres to John Radford (DB 3 p 565) which was described as being on the east side of Turkey Branch between John Worly and William Cannaday. Also mentioned was the dividing ridge between Otter and R. Bad Creeks. On the same day he also sold some land to George Staton Jr (DB 3 p 575), described as "on the head of a branch of the south fork of Otter Creek, adj George Staton Sr and John Worley.".21 |

| Fact 1 |
1735 |
In 1735, John Worley appeared on the titheable list of King William Parish, in the household of John James Florinoir, along with 3 slaves. I believe that makes him an overseer or some other type of servant. King William Parish was created by King William in 1700 with a grant of 10,000 acres to be settled by French Huguenots, who were escaping religious persecution in France. The first titheable list that exists is dated 1710. John Worley appears for the first time on the list of 1735, but that appears to be the only year when the names of the servants/overseers and slaves were listed. In 1736 John James Florinoir was still there but his household, as for other households, just shows a number of tithes, not the names. So we cannot tell in how many years before or after 1735 John was present. The main town in King William Parish was the town of Manakin, which is about 10 miles from Flat Rock (the current community where John Worley's 1749 land on Swift Creek was located). I need to find out how far the parish extended.
I don't know if this John Worley is Senior or Junior. We know that John Jr was an adult and had saved up enough money to buy land (or at least make a down payment on it) in 1741, so it's quite likely that he was already old enough in 1735 to have a job working for a French planter..3 |
| Fact 1 |
30 January 1741 |
On 30 January 1741, at Goochland County, VA,, John Worley Jr patented 250 acres in Goochland County on the branches of Skin Quarter Creek on the Henrico County line, adjoining Thomas Lockett. Skinquarter Creek is currently part of the boundary line between the counties of Powhatan (which was at that time Goochland) and Chesterfield (which was at that time Henrico)..4 |
| Fact 1 |
March 1743 |
In March 1743, at Goochland County, VA,, John Worley Jr sued Alexander Warren, William Worley was a witness for John..5 |
| Fact 1 |
20 June 1743 |
On 20 June 1743, at Goochland County, VA,, John Worley sold to William Bass 250 acres on Skin Quarter Creek..5 |
| Fact 1 |
1745 |
In 1745, at Albemarle County, VA,, 386 acres was listed in a surveyor's book in the name of John Worley, Jr. Albemarle was the parent county from which Buckingham was formed in 1761. According to the descriptive information included with the survey data, no deed records for Albemarle County have survived from 1744-1748, so we do not know where this land was. There are no deeds listed for John Worley in the transcribed deeds from 1748-1763..6 |
| (Witness) Fact 1 |
20 June 1757 |
On 20 June 1757, at Cumberland County, VA,, At a court for "draughting" soldiers "in pursuance of an Act of Assembly entitled An Act for Granting Aid to His Majesty, for better protection of this colony," the following persons were "adjudged to be soldiers." List of 15 names, including John Worley the 2nd, John Whorley the 3rd and Joseph Whorley, spelled as I spell them. They were to be "apprehended" and brought into court in one week. At the follow-up court on June 28, 1757, John Whorley the 2nd and 4 others were dismissed and the others were to be "delivered up to Capt. Poindexter Mosby." My guess is that the act required each county to supply a number of soldiers. This requires further research. The date of 1757 would place this happening during the French and Indian War..7 |
| Fact 1 |
10 August 1759 |
On 10 August 1759, at Goochland County, VA,, Richard Chitwood patented 153 acres in Goochland Co on the head of Skin Quarter on the county line , adj Matthias Chitwood, Joseph Baugh, and Worley. Now by 1759, Skinquarter Creek was the boundary line between Cumberland and Chesterfield Counties, which were created out of Goochland and Henrico in 1749. Goochland County contained only land north of the James River. So whoever processed this patent filled in the wrong county name; what had been Goochland was then Cumberland. I wonder if the date could be wrong in Cavaliers instead of the county..8 |
| Fact 1 |
18 December 1761 |
On 18 December 1761, at Chesterfield County, VA,, John Worley witnessed the will of Thomas Gibson (his brother-in-law). The will names 6 sons, Benjamin, Miles, Thomas, William, John and James. Eecutors named are wife Elizabeth and friend Joseph Baugh. Other witnesses were John Watkins and Joseph Baugh. It is possible that this could be John III..9 |
| Fact 1 |
1764 |
In 1764, at Buckingham County, VA,, John Worley was listed for personal property taxes in the household of John Douglas, along with 5 slaves. This could be either John Jr or John III. My guess is that it is John III, for the following reasons: In 1778 John Worley of Buckingham Co sold the land in Powhatan County (formerly Cumberland) that was left in John Sr's will to John III with John Jr to live there for his life. So unless John III died young, this sale was by him after John Jr's death. This means that John III did live in Buckingham. A John Worley signed the oath of allegiance to the commonwealth in Powhatan Co in 1777, showing that one of the Johns remained there. So if only one John moved to Buckingham, it was John III. This is not a certainty though, because we know that Jr patented that land in Albemarle Co in 1745, and Buckingham was formed out of Albemarle. However, we know he lived in Cumberland (later Powhatan) in 1757 because his father's will mentioned "where he now lives," so we know he didn't stay on the Albemarle land.

| Fact 1 |
between 1773 and 1774 |
Between 1773 and 1774, at Buckingham County, VA,, John Worley was listed for personal property taxes in the household of John Benning, along with Joel Bondurant. Total tithes in 1773 were 9 and total in 1774 were 10. This probably means the rest of the titheables were slaves, and Worley and Bondurant were overseers or some other type of employee. It is possible that this could be John Jr, but it is probably John III..11 |
| Fact 1 |
19 July 1777 |
On 19 July 1777, at Powhatan County, VA,, John and William Worley took the oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia, renouncing allegiance to King George. This is likely to be John Jr, since John III was "of Buckingham" in 1778.12 |

9 August 1809 |
On 9 August 1809, at Franklin County, VA,, James and William Worley sold 175 acres to Berry Vest adjoining Vest and Ward. Also mentioned was Sugar Camp Ridge..9 |
| Census |
1810 |
William Worley appeared on the census of 1810 at Franklin County, VA, as follows: 00011-00002. My guess is that the extra couple is John and Dorothy, although they could also be William's in-laws. They aren't any of William's brothers, because 3 of them are elsewhere in Franklin County and James and Moses are in Grainger, TN.
The nextdoor neighbors to this family are Finch Worley and family.10 |
| Fact 1 |
25 August 1810 |
On 25 August 1810, at Franklin County, VA,, William Worley sold to Aaron Jinny or Jinnery or Ginnery 50 acres on the branches of Auter Creek adjoining Ginnery. I did not find the deed for the sale of the rest of John Worley's 155 acres..11 |
