Hi Jacquelyn,

In all this hodge-podge of information I found, I came to the following conclusions. Please try to verify.

Hope this helps,

-----------
I think that Warren Jefferson Worden and Mary Elizabeth Rampton were 1st cousins. Warren Jefferson Worden's parents were Warren D. Worden and Sarah C. (maiden name unknown). I don't know if Warren D. died, or he and Sarah were divorced, but after Warren Sr., Sarah married Joseph Randall. Joseph and Sarah's (2nd) marriage record is in Grant County, Wisconsin. You might be able to find out who Sarah's parents were through this marriage record. Joseph Randall seems to have been married 3 times. A first wife, then Sarah, then Amanda/Allie Barstow.

Warren Jefferson Worden had the following sisters:
Clarisa Worden married James Lick ???
Mary E Worden married Jacob Shelser
1/2 sister Rosella Randell married ???
1/2 brother Francis W. Randall married ???
Step-brother Warren Randall (Joseph's 1st? marriage)
Step-sister Bessie R. Randall (Joseph's 3rd marriage/Amanda)


Warren Jefferson Worden's grandparent's were David Worden and Mary (maiden name unknown).
Warren Jefferson Worden had the following aunt and uncles:
Susan F Worden, married James Rampton (Mary Elizabeth's parents !!!)
John P Worden, married Klarandye (maiden name unknown)
Gilbert Worden, married Charity (maiden name unknown)

Mary Elizabeth Rampton's parents were James Rampton and Susan F Worden. James and Susan married 28 April, 1867 in Grant County, Wisconsin

Mary Elizabeth Rampton had the following sisters and brother:
Charlotte Rampton married Charles Shinn
Nettie J./G. Rampton married W. S. Gamble
Wallas Rampton
