1.2.2A.3.6 Margaret Worsham may be a d/o Wood. She was b 22 Sep 1914 Cleveland, AR; d Jun 1917 Cleveland, AR. The Cleveland Co. Herald has her obit: “WORSHAM, MARGARET Again the death Angel hath visited the home of one of our worthy citizens and taken from them and us, Little Margaret Worsham who b Sep. 22, 1914 and departed this life June, 1917 after several days illness. She will be missed in the home as she was just reaching an age to be interesting and lovable. But to the parents and loved ones, I would say weep not as those who have no hope; For Jesus said of such is the Kingdom of Heaven, and may each one resolve to so live on earth as to meet her in the Kingdom above, where sadness and sorow weeping and dying never come, nothing but joy, peace and happiness, forever more. God Bless All. J.J. Colson”

1.5. Cannon Worsham. In "Wayne County, Kentucky Pioneers" (1974), p. 90, June Baldwin Bork relates the following story: "Charles S. Cocke and Nancy his wife came into Court and filed a Suit August 1819 for Slander against James Shepherd. Nancy Cocke states that she has always been a good, faithfull and virtuous woman and respected by all her neighbors, and acquaintances and has never been suspected of Adultry. However, James Shepherd has published in the hearing of many good citizens that she was guilty of Adultry with Cannon Washam. Nancy and Charles sue for $2000 in damages. This Deposition taken 20 Dec 1819 of Beverly Shepherd in the Town of Franklin in Howard County, Missouri Territory - Questions by James Shepherd to Beverly Shepherd:

Question: Did you not hear Charles S. Cocke tell me that my wife was a liar in regards to his wife Nancy commiting Adultry with Cannon Washam?

Answer: Your reply was that the report was above stated in regards to Nancy Cocke.

Question: Where was myself and Charles S. Cocke when this conversation took place?

Answer: You were on the Main Road leading from the Town of Monticello to Somerset, about 40 or 50 yeards from each other.

N.B. There is no Court House in the above Town of Franklin.

Commentary I have located the family of James Shepherd (1793-1845) and Barbara Catron (1789-1870) who moved to Howard County, Missouri in 1819 and lived near the town of Franklin. However, there does not appear to be any familial relationship to the Cockes. On 5 Oct 1819, Cannon Worsham married Margaret Mullen, daughter of Isaac Mullen and Mary Cocke."
