Dear Ms. Conklin,
My grandmother was Ollie Beresford Worden of Kirkwood, Illinois, Warren Co., b. in Biggsville, Henderson co., m. William Worden.Her gparents were John and Margaret Beresford, b. in Ireland, I believe, Antrim, County Antrim.We are closely related to the Boyds in Antrim.Go to the Beresford fmaily forum and see messages from Maureen O'Neill who is a Boyd, also of Moore and Gibb families.Much of Henderson Co. came from County Antrim.The same families appear on the OH/PA border.
Do you have information on your N. Ireland origins?
If you grew up in Warren Co., my uncle, Harley "Bump" Worden was the sheriff during the early '60s.
Best,
Kay Larson
