>From NS VR site:
George William Worthen, b. @1838, Mitchells Bay, ???, d. of Brights
Disease, on 12-Sep-1918, at Nicum Teouch, Halifax Co, NS. He was buried in
St John's Cemetery, in Necum Touch (or however it's actually spelled).
Francis (dau), b. 01-Apr-1866, Necum Teuch, Halifax Co.
on her birth record, shows Caroline and George married in 1861 at Ecum Secum, Guysborough.
Perhaps Emma is the unnamed child, b. "Necum Cheugh" on 18-Nov-1868, which
shows Caroline's maiden name as Smith. Again, marriage date listed as
1861, at Necum Cheugh.
Likely William is the unnamed male child, b. 07-Jun-1872, Smith's Cove,
showing parents as George William Worthen and Caroline Lucy Smith. That
account shows their marriage 1861 at Smiths Cove, and an informant as
Agusta Smith (likely relation of Caroline's, I guess).
Daughter, Eliza Ann, m. John H. Burgoyne, 21-Jan-1889, Smiths Cove,
Halifax Co.
Son, Edward, m. Hattie Grey, 13-Apr-1908, at Dartmouth, Halifax Co.
Daughter, Margaret, died single, aged 29, NS Hospital, on 12-Jun-1909 (29
or 39?)
Son, Thomas (George Thomas) married a Catherine, he d. Oct-1919, Halifax
City. (b. 04-Dec-1878 by death record). Wife/widow, may have been d/o
William DeWolfe Worthen, as one of that name (Katherine Worthen) married
Robert Duncan MacDougall, 1926, Halifax.
Of Note, and possible relation... in 1871, a Henry Worthen married a Naomi
Smith, same geographic area. Henry was son of Thomas and Eliza Worthen,
and Naomi was d/o Jacob and Lucy Smith.
Did two brothers marry two sisters?
IGI at LDS shows:
Caroline Lucy Smith, b. @1840, m. George William Worthen, 02-Jan-1862,
Smiths Cove, Digby Co, NS (well, so much for accuracy, as should probably
be Smiths Cove, Halifax Co). She died, by that account, 30-May-1885,
Smiths Cove "Digby". Account also shows DOB for George W. Worthen was
06-Apr-1839, Ecum Secum, Guysborough Co, NS. Further family info:
Lucy Alice, b. @1862
Eliza Ann, b. 06-Mar-1864, d. 1927, Port Dufferin, Halifax Co
Margaret Caroline, b. 29-Jan-1871
William Howard, b. 07-Jun-1872
Thomas, b. 09-Dec-1875, d. 08-Oct-1919, Halifax City
John, b. 16-Jan-1878, Smiths Cove "Digby"... believe this is a recurring
error, and mentions of Smiths Cove more correctly would be showing Halifax
Co.
Edward Henry, b. 12-Mar-1885, d. Feb-1968, Halifax.
Another record of marriage in @1861 for the two, shows parents of George
William as Bertram Thomas Worthen and Eliza Jewers. Again, these are
LDS/IGI and Pedigree Resource File records, so no original sources are
shown.
After consulting a Halifax area map, seems Ecum Secum, Necum Teuch, and
Mitchell Bay, are all right there on the county boundary between Halifax
Co and Guysborough Co, right on the shore.
Others connected to that area and WORTHEN name found at Sheet Harbour,
Watt Section, Port Dufferin and nearby towns.
