Darryl Rowlett, in "Rowlett: The First 225 Years", quotes a Mrs. Jefferson Davis Rowlett of Murrays, Kentucky, who several decades ago, stated that Worsham's history goes back to the "illustrious DeVere family" of England, which was connected to most of the Barons of Runnemede and other royal lines.

William Worsham & Elizabeth
William Worsham, Sr. b bef 1619, probably in England. The first record of William Worsham in Virginia was a patent for William & George Worsnam for 400 acres of land in Henrico Co., VA dated 15 Feb 1652. Two hundred acres was part of a patent which William Worsnam purchased in 1640 from Seth Ward and two hundred acres was for transporting four persons. George was probably William's brother. William married Elizabeth by 1646.
Some researchers believed her maiden name was Littlebury because this name appears as a given name among some of her descendants. The Littlebury name could have come from the Eppes family since she and her second husband named a son, Littlebury Epes. William died before 1661 and George died before 6 Jun 1666. On that date John Wilson patented 100 acres of land which was on the North side of Appomattox along a fence which line parted said Wilson and the orphans of George & William Worsham. After William died his wife, Elizabeth married Col. Francis Eppes II of Henrico Co., VA about 1661. Elizabeth Worsham Eppes made a will with a codicil and both were recorded in Henrico Co., VA Oct 1678. In her will, she named her daughter, Elizabeth Kennon; her granddaughter, Mary Kennon; daughter, Mary Worsham; daughter, Mary Epes; son, John Worsham; son, Charles Worsham. In the codicil she states she is Elizabeth Epes, widow & relict of Col. Frances Epes of Henrico Co. She also mentions former husband Wm. Worsham, dec'd. This time she names her Epes children: William, Littleberry & Mary Epes.

William & Elizabeth children:

1.1. William Worsham Jr. b abt 1647. He died before 1678 as he is not listed in his mother's will. The age of William is established by a deposition on 3 Jun 1665 when he was 18 years of age.

1.5.3. Miss Worsham b. abt 1690 Henrico Co., VA (d/o Charles & Mary Beville Worsham) Change paragraph to 1.5.5. Her name is probably Frances Worsham b. 14 Sep 1700 Bermuda Hundred, Henrico Co., VA (Ward Family Record owned by Daniel Ward which has the text: Richard Ward son of Seth Ward Born October 29th 1692, Frances His wife born Sept 14th 1700) m. Richard Ward 18 Dec 1716 Henrico Co., VA. Richard b. 29 Oct 1692 Varina Parish, Henrico Co., VA s/o Captain Seth Ward & Anne Hatcher. (Richard Ward was brother to Seth Ward who married Martha Worsham, d/o John & Phebe Worsham, page 67) Richard & Ann Ligon Family Bible which was printed in Edinburgh by Mark and Charles Kerr, 1795 & was owned by Mrs. William Henry Graham, 1907. Mrs. Graham was a descendant of Tahpanes Ward Webber a daughter of Richard Ward & Frances Worsham. Mrs. Graham died in 1933 in New York City. The location of the Bible is unknown at this time. Jack Webber has a transcript copy of the Bible record and posted the transcript on Genforum on 28 Oct 2005. (Brenda Reed & Charles Ward-2005) It was interesting to note that Tahpenes Ward m. Phillip Webber 14 Oct 1751 and they had a son Essex Webber b 19 May 1769 & a daughter Ann Bevill Webber born 25 October 1775. Ann Bevill Webber m. Richard Ligon 10 Sep 1797.
The grandson's name of Essex Webber & the granddaughter's middle name of Bevill links Frances Worsham to Charles Worsham & Mary Beville. In the law suit in Henrico Co. Sep Court 1722 between Richard Havewell, lesee of John Worsham Plt. Vs Mary & Wm Worsham Deft, it was brought out in the suit that when Charles, husband of Mary, died he left 3 sons & 2 daughters which were still living.

The transcript of the Bible entries are:

Richard Ward and Frances Worsham was married December 18th 1716
Phillip Webber and Tahpenes Ward was married October 14th 1751
Richard Ligon and Ann Bevill Webber was married September 10th 1797
Alfred Wood married Tabitha Ward Ligon December 22 1822
William Richard Wood and Lucy Henry Southall were married August 25th 1847
Nannie Jane Wood married David Malcolm Wilkinson April 14th 1857
John Webber born August 15th 1752
Frances Webber born September 10th 1754 died September 14th 1754
Richard Webber born May 24th 1756
Phillip Webber born April 30th 1758
Benjamin Webber born October 6th 1760
Mary Webber born October 27th 1763 died November 3d 1763
Seth Ward Webber born March 20th 1766
Essex Webber born May 19th 1769 died October 8th 1773
Simeon Webber born January 16yth 1772
Ann Bevill Webber born October 25th 1775
Richard Ligon born Jul 18th 1798
Daniel Ligon born December 22d 1799
Archibald Ligon born August 10th 1802
Tabitha Ward Ligon born June 10th 1804
Rachie Ligon born August 10th 1806
Catherine Ligon born December 11th 1808
Henry Ligon born February 11th 1811
George Ligon born June 7th 1813
Judith Ligon born February 1st 1815

Because of this obvious link of Frances Worsham & Richard Ward to the Charles & Mary Beville Worsham family, it is now believed that their third son is Charles Worsham who was born about 1695 and is numbered 1.5.5. He should be renumbered as 1.5.4. & Frances should be numbered 1.5.5. Charles Worsham m. Elizabeth and their family is covered beginning Page 297.
Originally we stated on Page 28 of our book that the third son could be either Charles or Francis Worsham. It is doubtful that Charles & Mary Beville would name two children Frances & Francis; therefore, it becomes evident that Francis was not a son of Charles. It is more likely that Charles & Mary Beville would name a son Charles after Charles, Sr. and not after Charles Worsham's stepfather Francis Epes.
Francis Worsham's family is covered on Page 563. His number is 1.5.5. His parents' names are still unknown at this time; therefore, his number should begin with 1.
Children of Frances Worsham & Richard Ward:

1.5.5.1. Benjamin Ward 18 Sep 1717 m. 1st) Missy c1738 & 2nd) Mary Duke, d/o James Duke & Mary Byrd of Westover, Charles City Co., VA.
1.5.5.2. Tahpenes Ward 29 Mar 1729 m. Philip Webber 14 Oct 1751. They lived in Cumberland Co., VA.

Sarah Worsham. Several researchers have claimed that Sarah Worsham is a d/o William Worsham & Elizabeth, however, no proof has been found. Abraham Womack is said to have been married to Sarah Worsham and had a son Abraham Womack. Several Womack family researchers have asked if there was any documentation that Abraham was md Sarah Worsham. To date, no one has supplied documentation to support this theory.
According to Wayne Calk, Stoutland, MO records, Abraham is in some records as Abram. Wayne's sources: Valentine Papers; He lived near N. Swift Creek; Fm Carl Womack. Wayne showed on a Family Group Record that Abraham Womack was md to Sarah Worsham dau of Capt. John Worsham, Jr. who was b abt 1655 and Sarah Worsham b abt 1644. (According to Dorothy Tuttle, this is not possible if her father was b abt 1655. Sarah was not mentioned in the will of John Worsham nor was she mentioned in the 1678 will of Elizabeth Eppes who was the mother of John Worsham. Elizabeth was 1st married to William Worsham & 2nd Francis Eppes.)
There was a book on the Womack family at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in Salt Lake City by C. W. Womack. Mr. Womack wrote that "Abraham's wife, Sarah was possibly Sarah Sumercales. Mr. Womack did not have documentation & wrote that Abraham & Sarah had the following children: 1. Jane Womack b 1662 md Henry Pew, Jr. abt 1680 & d bef Nov 1732. 2. Thomas Womack b abt 1664 md Mary & d abt 24 Mar 1732. 3. Abraham Womack, Jr. b abt 1666 Bristol Parish, Henrico, VA md Jane & d bef Apr 1744. 4. Martha Womack b abt 1675 Henrico Co., VA md John Mosby 22 Nov 1708 & d 1733. It could be that Martha md 1) James Hambleton."
(Roger G. Womack wrote in Womack Genealogical Network, 1998 http://www.womacknet.com/message/messagearchive.html that Sarah Sumercales did not come to America until 1691; therefore, she could not have been the mother of Abraham's children) WGN can be found at http://www.womacknet.com/
Lynn Collis had a post on Womack GenForum dated 17 Aug 2000 regarding the possibility that William Womack was the father of Abraham, William Jr., Richard John, Thomas & Mary. Lynn stated that Abe Womack & Wm Clarke had a difference in 1674 about the est of Wm Womack dec'd. It was ordered that the sd Abraham Womack, bro to sd Wm Womack have 2/3 of estate both real & Personal, and the wid have the other part. 8 Apr 1674. On 1 Oct 1677 An acct of cattle bel to the orphans of William Womack dec'd presented by Timothy Allen Sr. Mary Womack & Thomas Womack & again on 1 Aug 1678 Acct of cattle of Mary & Thomas Womack by Timothy Allen. Lynn Collis stated, "This seems to imply that William Jr. died without issue. His brother is his heir, not any children. For this reason I do believe that the William, whose orphans, Thomas and Mary were left in the guardianship of Timothy Allen, was the possible father of them all. As for the name of his wife, or wives, I have no idea. Timothy Allen, guardian to his youngest children, may have been their grandfather, or he may have been a second husband to William's widow."
The first record that Dorothy Tuttle has recorded linking Abraham Womack to the Worsham family was when John Worsham was a member of the Grand Jury for the years 1677 & 1678 and made a report on 14 Aug 1678 that Abraham Womack was drunk by his own confession. (Henrico Co., VA Colonial Record Bk 1, Wills & Deeds 1677-1682, p 70)
In 1679 Abraham Womack is on the Henrico Co. Tithables: Ann McDonald posted a message to WGN Message Page (quiltdog@yahoo.com) stating she saw an abstract of the tithables list from Henrico Records Nov. 1677-Dec 1692, p 79 June court 1679 lists in Bermuda Hundred "at Mrs. Isham's 6; Turkey Island Capt. William Randolph 5; Curles; Robert Woodson 5, John Woodson Sr 3, John Woodson Jr 2; Mr. John Pleasants 13; Abraham Womacks 2.
In 1689 Abraham Womack pet the court declaring that being possesed of a parcell of land he has been stopped from ascertaining the bounds of sd land by William Clarke & Edward Stratton who bound upon him. The sd William Clarke pet at the same time in the presence of sd Stratton, saying that he is uncertain of his right till the sd Womack's land which is unbounded be laid out which the sd Womack refuses to do. It is ordered that Womack and Clarke, at their own expense, have the land surveyed before the next court. 1 Oct.
1689-In the difference bet William Clarke & Abraham Womack concerning bounds of their land, the sd Womack says that Mr. Minge has all his papers and requests a cont. 2 Dec.
1689/90-The pets of William Clarke & Abraham Womack concerning the bounds of their lands are referred to next court; Womack has already surveyed his land & Clarke is to survey his next week, 1 Feb. 1690-Agree: William Clark, Abraham Womack, about bounds of their lands, adj Gilbert Elam & Thomas Shipy, wit: William Randolph & Littleberry Epoes, 30 May-1 Aug.

Wayne Calk's Family Group Record sent to Dorothy Tuttle in 1988 for John Worsham b 1625 Henrico Co., VA? md abt 1650 & d by 1677 Lulenberg Co., VA? md Elizabeth who d 1678 Henrico Co., VA who was md 2nd to ?? Epes. Two children were listed John Jr., Capt born abt 1655 & daughter Mary Worsham b abt 1660 who md Richard Ligon (Source: Early Settlers of AL, p 484; Valentine Papers p 1772, 1802 & 1768; John Worsham overseer, Cornwall Parish, Lulenberg Co., VA in 1764) Wayne must have a typo of the spelling of Lulenberg as it was Lunenburg County and the 1764 date could not have been for Capt. John as he died by 1677 according to Wayne)
Dorothy Tuttle wrote a letter to Wayne in 1988 stating that John Worsham died in 1729 and named children: John Worsham, William Worsham, son Daniel Worsham's widow Judith, Daughters Eliza Marshall, Frances Rowlit, Mary Robertson, Martha Ward, Ann Osborn, etc. He did not name a daughter Sarah. John Worsham, Jr. was the son of William & Elizabeth Worsham. Elizabeth md 2nd) Francis Eppes and she left a will in 1678 and she did not name a daughter Sarah.
Some Womack researchers believe her last name is Worsham and daughter of William & Elizabeth Worsham. If Sarah Worsham was still alive when Elizabeth Epes made her will, then she would have been listed. If she were deceased then at least Sarah's children would have been and they were not.
Some Womack researchers state he was md to Sarah Sumerscales and she was mother to Abraham's children. Sarah Sumerscales/Sumercales/Somerseals came over on a land patent dated 20 Oct 1691 with 16 other individuals in which Abraham received 879 acres of land. (Patent Book 8, Page 172) In that listing her name is spelled Sarah Somerseals. In the United States Passenger List 1538-1940, is spelled Sarah Somerseal. (http://www.womacknet.com/message/archive/11.1998.html on the WGN site-Womack Genealogical Network (http://www.womacknet.com/ was written by Roger Womack 19 Nov 1998)
So it looks like Sarah Sumerscales wasn't even in America at the time the children of Abraham were born. It is pretty much assumed that Sarah Sumerscales was a second wife of Abraham Womack (Jamie Ayres 10/27/1999)
Ancestral File part of FamilySearch has that Sarah Worsham's father is John William Worsham b c1625 Jordan Parish, VA d bef 1661 Henrico Co., VA m c 1643 Elizabeth Littleberry b c1623 of England, Orange Co., VA d c 1678 Bristol Parish, Henrico Co., VA. (Comment by Dorothy Tuttle. Records in Henrico Co. show his name as only William. Believe the John came from his son John who md Phebe. The Littleberry name has not been verified and probably came from the fact that Elizabeth & Francis Eppes named a son Littleberry)
Correspondence: Jamie Ayres 10/27/1999 sent a copy of the Will of Abraham Womack who died after Nov 1732 & bef Oct 1733. He did not name a wife, Sarah.
Correspondence: Jane Drake Brody JBrody845@aol.com 3/9/2000 "My 9G grandmother may have been Sarah Worsham who married Abraham Womack. I have the following from another genealogist: Joyce Wommack dated 1 Sep 1997. I have just received information that the name of the first wife of Abraham Womack (son of immigrant) and mother of his children was Sarah Worsham b. ca 1644, dau of John William Worsham b. ca 1625 Charles City, Jordan Parish, VA, d bef 1661 in Henrico Co., VA and Elizabeth Littleberry, b 1623 d 23 Sep 1678, Henrico Co., VA. It has been accepted by most researchers that he (may) have married his headright, Sarah Sumerseals/Sumerscales, sometime between 1688-1681, which would have been too late for her to have been the mother of his children and that he must have married before her. Has anyone ever heard of Sarah Worsham as his first wife?)"
