Quintin Publications Produces a PDF file or a Paper Copy anytime you request one. I have placed all of the book plus a whole lot more onto my Genealogy program to the tone of 300,000 plus with over 9,000 Walworth/Walsworth's There was someone on this site that was offering the book but not sure if it still is avaliable. The book doesn't hold up too well with use. You may just be able to go to a local Genealogy library and possibly check it out or work on it at the libarary. I live in the Houston Area and the Clayton Library carries a copy.

genshuey — 2009-05-09 07:05:28Z

My Grandfather told me that the he had an aunt and uncle who cared for an orphan. When the man came of age, he asked permission to change his last name to Walworth as a tribute to the family. The cousins who were raised with the orphan became convinced that he was trying to claim a part of their inheritance and threatened to sue. The orphan changed his name to Walsworth and never made any claims against the Walworth estate. I believe the orphan was Peter Walsworth. My Father and Grandfather have passed but my Mother still has a copy of the Walworth book(written by my cousin Reginald). The book is out of print. There is a copy of it in the Library of Congress(USA). You may be able to find excerpts of it on their web-site. If you have specific questions, I will ask my Mother to consult the book. She will not let the book out of her sight.

Looking for a conection to this family I did find the Grueschow Gruschow Families but have not been able to find his first name to help in connecting the dots. Doris Walworth, Daughter of Milton Elisha Walworth and Bertha Rickert was born 2 October 1925 in Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but that is all I know so far.

They had 1 known son who was James D. Walworth b: c1936/7.
James married an Alice Weatherwax unkn dob.
I am interested in any information on Alice's parents, place of birth etc. I am currently editing the Weatherwax family genealogy for publication. This will cover 10 generations of the family in North America from the family arrival in 1710 to New York Colony until the close of 1930 (last available census. I can probably provide Alice's ancestral tree if I have some info on her.

Re: Walworth/Walsworth

PaulWalworth42 — 2008-09-22 19:11:28Z

The only reason I don't agree on this family is that most of the information came by letters to the compiler of our genealogy. There were so many different spellings of the Walworth name also. There are a few marriages to the Walrath's also. There is always a possiblility of it being true but who will ever know? They would ALL be the same people and have different spellings. Not so sure about Peter, don't have very many Peter's in our line. I sure wish you all the good fortune in solving this and many other questions. Some of the information he collected was from records but no one seems to know where they came from or how. There are a few Reuben's I keep finding people born to two or three parents so we just have to keep trying to find out I guess the only way we will be able to do it in this life is DNA, but I am not going there.

Re: WALWORTH-WALSWORTH GENEAOLOGY 1689-1962 by Reginald Walworth
I have already corresponded with Paul regarding a Reuben C. Walworth and Peter Walworth, who I believe were brothers and the sons of William P. Walrath and Lydia Dey. Paul does not agree. The surname Walrath has over 35 different spelling variations, among them Walworth. I only found Reuben listed with his father and step-mother in the 1850 Census, but found no later reference to him as a Walrath until I found a Letter of Administration filed in Montgomery County, NY. In this document I found besides a Reuben C. Walrath of Michigan, a brother Peter Walrath of Minnesota, and sister Mary Watson of Michigan. All three unknown to me and any previous search of documents. Only one other Walworth researcher (Ancestry World Tree) lists Reuben C. and Peter Walworth as sons of James and Charlotte Graves Walworth (Ref: Reginald Walworths genealogy). I have not seen this genealogy so do not know what it contains. Is there firm evidence that Reuben C. and Peter were sons of a James Walworth and Charlotte Graves? The sister of my Reuben C. and Peter, Mary has been shown in a couple of online trees as a Walworth, and a Walrath. Any help would be appreciated in determining whether Reuben C. Walworth of Michigan and Peter Walworth of Winona, Minn are not Reuben C. Walrath of Minnesota and Reuben C. Walrath of Michigan. Both Reuben's dates are consistent. Peter's birthdate is around the time of William P. Walrath and Lydia Dey's marriage.
Regards,
Jerome A. Walrath

Re: WALWORTH

frankjjkm — 2008-07-08 01:01:50Z

I have George as being born in New York and buried in Spring Prairie in 1864. His parents were Jesse Walworth and Hannah Daggett. Acording to a brief biography I was given by a family member George moved to Wisconsin withhis family several other families and his younger brother Jesse. Jesse returned to New York but the rest stayed. No mention of James. But it seems that at least thier mother also moved to Wisconsin because she died in Ripon. Most of my info was supplied by relative of my mothers who did a family tree in the 40's. I don't know how accurate it is and I am trying to verify what I can. My mother who is 90 was talking about some faction of the family that went to canada generations ago but I don't know who and she probably won't remember.

Re: WALWORTH

BlakeHoltzbach — 2008-07-07 17:49:53Z

Hi, my ancestor was James, and George was his brother. Have you come across any info on James? I have two bits of info indicating James died in spring 1840 in Canada, and died in 1840 Spring Prairie, WI. His wife Charlotte is also shown as having died in 1840 in Canada. Have not so far been able to find out anything else for sure on their DODs.

Re: Walworth/Walsworth

BlakeHoltzbach — 2008-07-07 17:38:31Z

Just came across your posting. That James is the grandfather of the James I am almost certain was my ggg-grandfather who married Charlotte Graves, moved to Canada after they were married in Rome in 1811. My ancestor Edmund Walsworth, their son (I'm pretty sure), was born in Villa Nova, 1817. The "Walworth/Walsworth Genealogy" has all that information if you haven't read that yet. I got my copy from Quinton Publishing. I don't know if they still have it or not.

Hello,

I just started working on this Walsworth branch.

Henry was born in New York (same date). His family was living in Cortland County, NY. They moved to Manitowaoc County, Wisconsin by 1860. Henry's wife's name was Jessie.
Their daughter, Vena married Bert Baker. I found four children on the 1930 census: Stanley, Doris, Lucille, and Bert w..

I found Louise Walsworth on the 1930 census living in Washington D.C.

Re: Cora B Walworth/Winona Minn

2006-09-23 22:45:58Z

Ruth.....I would be interested in how you connect Cora B. Walworth to the line you mention (Almus Walworth) beyond David Walworth who married Jennie B. I seem to find that David was the son of Peter 'Walworth' and wife Catharine ?. It is my belief that this is not a 'Walworth' line, but a Walrath line. Of course if you can prove the connection of Peter D. Walworth to Almus then my theory is not proven. My 3rd g-grandfather was William P. Walrath. He was first md. to Lydia Dey. Two of the children from this marriage were Peter D. and Reuben b.ca. 1834. Reuben is found in the 1850 NY Census in the William P. Walrath family. William died in 1874 and did not have a will. His 2nd wife Emily (Ellison) petitioned the court for his remaining estate. Mentioned in the petition were a Peter and Reuben of Minnesota. According to the 1860 Census a Reuben Walworth, age 26, was living in the family of Peter Walworth and by age could be a brother. There was also a son named Reuben as well. Peter is found in the 1850 Census for Fairfield, Dodge, Wisconsin; both are found in the 1860 Census for Ralls, Missouri, and then Peter again in 1870 and 1889 censuses for Winona, Winona, Minnesota. Please let me know what you think about this possibility. Regards, Jerome Walrath

WALWORTH family from Wisconsin(1850) to Minnesota(1870)

2006-09-22 19:17:53Z

I have been trying to find the ancestors of Peter D. and Reuben Walworth. Peter is found in the 1850 Census for Fairfield, Dodge, Wisconsin...then in 1860 Census for Raulls Missouri with Reuben living in the family (most likely a brother), then from there to Winona, Winona, Minnesota in the 1870, 1880, and 1900 Census. It is my belief that this Walworth line is not from any Walworth lineage but from a Walrath line. The dates for Peter and Reuben would be correct for a Peter and Reuben Walrath who were said to be in Minnesota when their father William's widow (2nd wife Emily) petitioned the court for his remaining estate. But then, if someone can connect Peter and Reuben to a Walworth family then my theory is not proven.

Hi Toni,
I am taking the chance you email is stil the same.
I have the original Oak Grove Cemetery books (2 of them) that belonged to my great grandpa Ernest Christian Jenter. He started the funeral home in Manchester in 1884 and it contunued in our family until 16 years ago when my dad Ronald Arthur Jenter sold it.

I have been transcribing the books and found this entry::
Block 1 Lot 11 name on Lot Hiram J. Walworth
9 Jan 1872 Recd Hiram Walworth 49
30 Dec 1876 Recd Mr. B. Walworth
17 Sep 1881 Recd Steven J. Walworth on block 1 lot 12
27 Sep 1857 Child of H. Walworth
29 Mar 1904 Mrs. Adelia Walworth 80
16 Jun 1916 Elijah Walworth

There may be other graves there now too, but those would be in later books of the cemetery with the association.

I also found these Walsorth's in another block
Block 16 lot 10 name on lot Charles B. Walworth
11 Apr 1900 Recd infant child of Homer Fish
20 Oct 1903 Mrs. Charles Walworth 69
26 Jan 1910 Charles Walworth 85
1 Dec 1913 Luella Fish age 5 yrs 6 mo 4 da
28 Mar 1918 Wife of Homer Fish (Amy)

Are these any of the stones you might need????

If so, I can take the pictures for you.

What would you like to know?

Re: norma walworth

eulesslibrary — 2006-07-28 03:30:27Z

My grandmother, Norma, was the child of George and Emma (Emily Turner?) Alvard (also spelled as Alvord and Alvert in the censuses). She was born July 29, 1915, in Millston, Jackson County, Wisconsin and passed away December 27 or 29, 1996. She passed away in a nursing home in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, of natural causes although she had Alzheimers.

She had a sister, Vera, that was born in 1914 and a brother, Wilson, born in 1918. I have not been able to obtain any other information on either Vera or Wilson and will keep digging.

Now, it's my turn. Was I right in guessing that Emma is actually Emily Turner? If not, I would like to know what you can tell me about my grandmother's extended family.

I'm nothing but a novice and just started my quest to trace my family's genealogy. It's amazing that I don't know more and am having such a hard time tracing their lines.

In my next email I will provide the information I can provide on my grandparents 7 children. Probably best to feed small amounts of information at a time.

Why don't you email me directly at mwalwort99@yahoo.com.

Hi Lisa -

We have communicated before and I thought I gave you the information you are looking for.

The parents of Elizabeth 1844-1861 were Adolph Walrath 1811-1885 and Irene (Adeline) Jane Apple 1814-1895. They lived at Morristown, NY and are buried at Evanswood Cemetery, Weyauwega, Wisconsin. They had at least 7 children, one of which was Elizabeth.

BlakeHoltzbach — 2008-02-23 04:10:16Z

Paul, thanks anyway for your response. I was hoping the person who posted it would respond so I could contact them to find out where they got the info. There is census information that his two brothers and his mother were all in Wisconsin, and that is why I thought the posting had some merit, but so far, I have had no luck in finding anything that would show James and Charlotte as having lived in the area. There is info on a James Walworth in the 1880s, but nothing else. I have, however, been able to almost certainly link my ancestor, Edmund Walsworth, with James and Charlotte from the Walworth/Walsworth Genealogy. I have been in contact with someone in Ontario, Canada, who has a lot of information, and she is slowly but surely sharing it with me. Thanks again.

Looking for more information on James Walworth. He was called James and sometimes Charles. He died in Austin Texas around 1865/7. Can't fine his family anywhere so am unable to conect him to my family yet. Only know he was a Mississippi River Boat Captain, worked with Richard King. Bought 90,000 acres of land for $5,000 as the price went up. that was sold to King's Wife because of problems with "legal" dealings on Richard King's part. Sold half then half again, then he died and his wife collected $10,000 for the remaining land deal. Then everything goes blank.
