John Haworth 1765-1814

Hattie Ward mother Nancy Hayworth was not easy to find at first. The main problem was that I was using the wrong spelling of the last name. I was using " Hayworth" instead of "Haworth". which I was going by a book that had Nancy being married to Ely Ward.  When I was using my DNA match list on Ancestry to search out those who match using surname search, by using the name Hayworth got me nowhere. One day I accidentally miss spelled the word to Haworth. Then I saw many match for this Haworth group in North Carolina. I started to dig into the wills on Ancestry and I was able to find a will that had Nancy's name on it. It was such a great feeling to feel when you finally after searching for so many years to find that piece of evidence that you need and to have DNA to confirm it for you.

Here is the will: It has his sons Elijah, John, Alfred, Emsley, and Newel, It has his daughters Nancy, Mary, Hannah, and Alice. It also has his wife Susanah and his brother Samuel.
