Moore / Worley



James Cader Worley and Lindey (Malinda) Finley

Following my father's 40 year, non-productive search for "Caden" Worley, I decided to look for "Linna." Thankfully, we had the names of their children, so they were easily identified once the Finley branch was found. We are fortunate that James Cader Worley was active in his community and left behind enough legal documentation to prove his identity. Thanks so much to Cousin Willis for all his hard work.

Joseph John is not my ancestor, but Daddy had this in his records, so I will include it in the hope that someone may find their own ancestor among the children of my 3-g-grandfather's brother.
