The following received from Sue Worley Starr: My great grandfather Robert R. Worley was born 23 March, 1849 in Johnson Co. Tn. and died 28 Dec. 1934 in Madison Co. Illinois. He went to Missouri with his brother James H. around 1868/69. They were on the 1870 Census in Texas Co. Mo. I could not find him on the 1880 census, however he married Mary Wallace 4 Nov. 1880 in Madison Co. Illinois. They only had one child, my grandfather Joseph Albert Worley. Grandpa married Maude Wilkey and they had 3 children: Loretta, Mary and my father-Robert Henderson Worley. Dad married Edna Eveline Burton and they had 10 children including myself. I still haven't figured out what brought Robert R. to Illinois and I still don't know what his middle name was. I haven't found anyplace where the middle name was used, only the initial R.
