Lucy W. Fuller, in my line, married William Philip Wortham in Franklin County, NC on 23 Dec 1896. The marriage certificate is on file in the Franklin County Courthouse in Louisburg. It gives Williams’ age as 21, parents Andrew Wortham and Arredia Wortham of Franklin County, deceased.
William and Lucy had two children who survived to adulthood: Annie Laura (1898-1980), who married a William Olson from Sweden and lived in Wisconsin; and Maggie Lee (ca 1901 to before 1858), who married Eugene W. Woodlief in 1923 in Franklin County.
Lucy Fuller Wortham died between 1910 and 1916, and William remarried a Rena Young. They had several children. William died in Wake Forest, NC in 1958 and is buried at Oak Grove Baptist Church near Youngsville, NC.
I have in my notes that Andrew was born in VA, but this doesn’t seem to agree with the 1880 census for the Thomas Perdue household.
