Pam Heaton, 2001, a descendant of Willie Mae Worsham (daughter of William H. Worsham page 289, 1.5.4.1.4.2.1B.1), has a letter given to her by her father-in-law that was written by a Sallie A. Worsham from Republican Grove, VA dated Mar 29, 1905.  She is Sallie Ann Worsham (page 289, 1.5.4.1.4.2.1B.4)  the dau of William Coleman Worsham.  The following is a copy of the letter from Sallie Worsham exactly as she wrote it:

"Republican Grove, Virginia

March 29, 1905

Mr. John Worsham

Richmond, Virginia

Dear Sir,

You letter requesting a pedigree of our branch of the Worsham family rec’d. we have no written pedigree; therefore, I will have to depend on the memory of my father for all the information I give you.

My great, great grandfather came from some European country, possibly England and settled near Petersburg Virginia. I don’t know the date at which he came nor his christian name.

My great grandfather, whose name was Essex, fought in the Revolutionary War. He lived in Williamsburg, Va. for a number of years, then moved to Prince Edward county, Virginia. He married A Miss Doniphent. There were six children by this marriage, namely: Henry, Thomas, Samuel, Archebald, Elizabeth and Sallie. He then moved from Prince Edward to Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and settled near Staunton(spelling ?) river and there spent the rest of his life.

His son, Henry, went to Louisiana, married and made his home there. I don’t know whom he married.

I think all the others made their home in Virginia. Thomas and Sallie never married. Samuel married Fannie East, there were six children by this marriage namely: Myles, Issac, Thomas, Martha, Elizabeth and Mary. Elizabeth married William Smith, they had only one child, a daughter, whose name I think was Martha though they always called her Puss.

Archebald, my Grandfather, married Dollie Bruce. He had seven children, namely: William C. Thomas, Henry, Elizabeth, Archebald, John and Essex. William C. first married Julia Vaughn, there were three children by this marriage namely: Dollie, James and John. His second wife was Parthenia Payne (my mother). There were six children by this marriage, namely: William H., Elizabeth, Susan, Sallie A., Samuel E., and Charles E.

Henry Worsham married Emma Green. They had six children. Thomas Worsham married Susan Layne and they had seven children. John never married, he died in Petersburg while fighting in the Civil War. Archebald married Lelia Carr; they had eight children. Essex married Martha Hubbard, they had seven children. Elizabeth Worsham married William Moon.

My great grandfather had a brother by the name of Hal or Henry. I don’t know whom he married, but he had three sons named William, John and Patrick. My great grandfather’s brother henry fought in the War of 1812 and he was also in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. My great grandfather had a cousin by the name of Branch Worsham living in Prince Edward County a few years ago. I suppose that he or some of his decendents still live there. My father, William C., is doubtless the oldest member of our branch of the Worsham family. He is now seventy-six years old. I am sorry that I cannot give Miss Harrison and yourself a better history of our branch of the Worsham family, but I hope this will be of some benefit.

Sincerely,

Sallie A. Worsham"

This letter confirms most of the information on the family of Essex Worsham.  However, the letter has Thomas & Samuel are two different people and that Essex had another daughter named Sallie.  We have added these two new children.
