Frederick Houseworth born Bucks County, PA 1814-Died Morrow County, Ohio(about) 1865.
Frederick Houseworth is my "other" Great-Great Grandfather Houseworth. If descended from Nelson and Mary Ann Houseworth, both Fred and Solomon Houseworth are your Great Grandfathers of varying numbers of Great.
Fred was the second of three Houseworth sons born to Israel and Catherine Houseworth.
Frederick Houseworth marries Ursula Jane Scribner @ Delaware, Ohio, January 7, 1839.
It is very possible that Ursula is descended from John Alden who arrived in America on the "Mayflower"....another cousin Bertrand MacPherson of Lima, Ohio, has been doing research on this family. He is descended from a sister of Ursula....another sister, Elizabeth Scribner married Frederick and Solomon's brother George Houseworth.
Fred and Ursual and at least 14 children, although many did not live past early childhood. My Great Grandmother Mary Ann Houseworth was one of the older children, and the eldest to make it to adulthood. It is believed that Fred died about 1865 in Morrow County(near the Marion-Delaware County lines). Ursula lived in Waldo where she owned several tracts of land, including the one that currently occupies the local town park. Ursula died March 26, 1882, and is buried in a grave between two sons, John and Andrew, in the Waldo Cemetery.
