I believe that the families in High Park 1841, William Worton and Mary and William Worton Bayonet Forger and his wife also a Mary, together with their children, are descendants of the children of Abraham & Eleanor.

Interesting reading Linell. You guys are all so quick at this! I found my Worton notes and my ancestor from B-ham was a Laeticia Worton, not Priscilla. Sounds similar I guess, which is probably what stuck in my head. Surname is spelled the same though, Worton, instead of Wharton etc.

Hi Rachel, I have been researching the Wortons of Cradley for years. The name can be spelt Wharton Whorton Worton or Warton, take your pick <LOL> Some of the Cradley Wortons ended up in Lye Old Swinford and Cradley Heath, others stayed put for generations. Good luck with your research and merry xmas to you from linell.

There is no further information on Abraham but Eleanor was born 1686, her father was Gyles Bradley born 1657. Abraham and Eleanor lived in Cradley, Pete is right, their descendants were William Worton and Mary Heathcop who Married 1736 Old Swinford. linell.
