Geoffrey Worssam compiled Notes On The Origin Of The Name Worsham that
descends from Robert & Olive (Todman) Worsham. A copy of his notes are in
the Library of Congress. Geoffrey lived in Swanage, Eng. and for many years did
research on the Worsham & Worssam family name along with his cousin Leslie
Worssam of Sevenoaks, Eng. Geoffrey died Oct 1994 in Canada. Leslie stated in a
letter to Pat Kruse dated 13 Mar 1996 that within Worsham families there have
been various ways of spelling the surname. Worsham was the usual spelling down
to 1770 although there was one entry as Worsum and one as Worsam. Leslie has
copies of wills of various Worshams & other similar surnames from the 16th
century but none have made any reference to sons William & George. Leslie
also wrote: "The very presence of these wills from groups point to there
having been a number of other families who have since disappeared or the
surnames have progressively changed to something not immediately associated with
Worsham."
The following two sections are primarily the result of the research of Geoffry
Worssam.
The
Richard Worsham section is mostly from "Extant UK Branch #3, "Worsham .. Worsam
of Wootton St. Lawrence, Worting & Farnham", by Geoffrey E. Worssam of
Swanage, England, Jun 1986. This descendant tree was furnished by Antony
"Tony" Worsam of Cheltenham, England, 2002.
