I wish I could be of help. My Worthington line is only back to m great-grandfather, born 1853 (he was 55 years older than my great-grandmother, so the year is not a mistake). I don't know if he had siblings or not. I have parents' names for him, but I'm again not sure if this information is accurate. He does not show up on any census until 1880. I have never found a census for the presumed father. I am thinking that he was illegitimate and may not have used his father's name until he was older.
