WORRELL, Nancy ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

The spelling of her name was Worrell in North Carolina as verified by her grand-nephew, Wesley J. Mast in a letter he wrote at age 85 to a relative. It is oft misspelled in Montgomery and Miami County records as Ware because there were other families in the area with the Ware spelling and the county clerks made the assumption that her surname was of the same spelling.

Her parents aren't published in any source I've seen. In the 1790 census, the only Worrells in North Carolina live in Wayne or Randolph Counties. The only Worrell living in Randolph County at the time was a William Worrel whereas Wayne has about 8 Worrell families.

She might possibly be the "Nannie" Moss (Mast at it's current day spelling) who was the first person buried in West Branch Cemetery, Miami Co., Ohio Her stone was put up with letters on it that had been made by Frederick Yount, a relative. (C-2436) ^{2 3}
