Hi Russ,
Wrote to you a few times before. The subject of the sketch above is my maternal 4x G-Grandfather. I have documentation of most of the information you presented (much of it from the archives at Swarthmore), except for “In 1781 he was a private in the Philadelphia Co. Militea”. Any chance you have on file the source for that part? (Not doubting – just like to have copies of the documents for my files). That’s an interesting piece of information.
Thanks, Eric
Eric,
I checked what I have on Benjamin, and only a reference in:
William W. H. Davis, A.M., Genealogies and Personal History of Bucks County Pennysylvania (Genealogical Publishing County, Baltimore, 1975), Warren County Library, Bellevidere, New Jersey, Page 721.
I will look further so see what else I might have on him that are not in my database yet.
Russ
Thanks! Appreciate your response.
Eric,
I just took a look at Fold3.com, and found a Benjamin Worthington, in the Third Company, Philadelphia Militia, 3rd Company, under Capt. Jacob Roads.
Not a lot off information on him. Its in the Fold3 Pennsylvania Archives, Series 6, volume 1, Page 698.
