Charles Worsham was the youngest of three sons born to William Worsham and his wife, Elizabeth Littleberry, In 1661 when Charles was age three, his father died at age forty-two, leaving his mother with five children ranging from age 4 - 14 to raise on her own. In about 1663 his mother married secondly, Colonel Francis Epes, Jr. of Henrico County, by whom she had four more children. Col. Epes became involved in the affairs of Charles and his siblings. Colonel Epes was most likely the father that Charles remembered most as he was so very young when his natural father died unexpectedly.
"Elizabeth Epes, of Bermuda Hundred, widow," makes the following bequests: to daughter, ELIZABETH (Worsham) KENNON a stone ring, her black gown, green silk petticoat, green satin bodie, and one-fourth of her money in the hands of SAMUEL CLAPHAMSON (of London); to her grandchild, MARY KENNON/BOLLING a stone ring "given me by my sister King; to her daughter, MARY WORSHAM, one-fourth of her money, certain personal property and wearing apparel, and her thumb ring; to her daughter MARY EPPES, a "new suite which came in this year"; to son JOHN WORSHAM, one-fourth of her money and her silver tobacco box; to son CHARLES WORSHAM, one-fourth of her money and certain other personal property. The remainder of her estate to her husband, Eppes' children. Makes her son-in-law RICHARD KENNON, executor.1 Charles Worsham died by 5 May 1712 wherein the court granted ELIZABETH KENNON, his sister and evidently a creditor, administration of his estate. Mrs. Kennon presented his estate inventory to the Henrico Court on 7 July 1712. Records of a 1724 land dispute identify WILLIAM WORSHAM as the eldest son of Charles Worsham and report that Charles then had three sons and two daughters living. ESSEX WORSHAM, identified as the security for Mary Worsham in this dispute, was undoubtedly Charles' son.
A court case involving Mary wife of Charles Worsham is found in Henrico Co., VA Minute Bk, 1719-1724 pp 233, 358 & 362. The following is a quote from the book, "Worsham & Washam Family History" by Dorothy G. Tuttle & Larry E. Washam page 19: There was a suit for debt between ROBERT BLAWS, Plt and MARY WORSHAM Deft in Henrico Feb Court 1722 for 20 shillings & ESSEX WORSHAM was her security. In Henrico Co. Sept Court, another suit appeared. This suit was between RICHARD HAVEWELL, lesee of JOHN WORSHAM Plt. vs MARY & WM WORSHAM Deft. It was brought out in the suit that JOHN WORSHAM deeded the land in dispute to his brother CHARLES WORSHAM for 99 years on 2 Dec 1678. After CHARLES WORSHAM'S death, JOHN WORSHAM rented it to RICHARD HAVEWELL. It also stated that MARY was the lawful wife of CHARLES WORSHAM, dec'd and that WM WORSHAM was the eldest son and heir of CHARLES WORSHAM. WM WORSHAM had leased the land in dispute for 99 years for a quart of rum a year to ESSEX WORSHAM and that CHARLES left at his death 3 sons and 2 daughters which were still living. In Henrico Co. Oct 1724 Court, verdict was found for the Deft MARY & WM. WORSHAM & JOHN WORSHAM was ordered to pay a certain amount of tobacco to his three witnesses Peter Hunsaker, George Worsham & Charles Roberts for appearing in court.

Richard Ward , the son of SETH WARD and perhaps KATHARINE SMITH, removed from England to Colonial Virginia sometime before 1634 and settled in Henrico County below present-day Richmond. Henrico was one of the original 8 shires into which Virginia was divided in 1634; this peninsula is on the north side of the James River, between the James and the Chickahominy, beginning at the mouth of the Chickahominy where it empties into the James and extends to "the falls" of the James which flows between Henrico and Chesterfield Counties.

Executor: oldest son, SETH WARD.
Seth Ward was the immigrant ancestor of the Ward family of Henrico, later Chesterfield, Amelia, Nottoway, Lunenburg, Charlotte, Lee and other counties in Virginia and North Carolina. SETH WARD and CAPTAIN JOHN WARD of England and Henrico, Virginia were probably kinsmen, possibly brothers, and may be the grandson of SETH WARD of Abbington, Cambridgeshire, England who died in 1598 and left a will.
SETH WARD may be related, though no direct proof has yet been found, as son or brother of Ancient Planter CAPTAIN JOHN WARDE of early Virginia as described in a will found in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 51 Lewyn, written on February 14th, 1598 by SETH WARD of Abbington, Cambridgeshire, England, yeoman, proved June 20th 1598 by JOHN WARDE. SETH WARD named in his will his wife, ANNIS/ANNE; sons, JOHN WARDE, ENOS WARDE, and THOMAS WARDE; Daughters MARIE WARDE and ANNE JACOB; Grandchildren JOHN WARDE and SETH WARDE, sons of testator's son JOHN WARDE; Brother ROBERT WARD; Sister WILSONNE; Grandchildren ANNE WARD (daughter of JOHN WARDE), MARTHA WARD, ALICE WARD and MARIE WARD. The testator, SETH WARD, owned lands in Litlington and Stephen Norden, Cambridgeshire. He made bequests to JOHN WARDE "the sonne of my said sonne JOHN WARDE tenn pounds of lawfull English monie to be paid unto him at the age of one and twentie yeares; also I give unto SETH WARD, his brother, the somme of tenn pounds of like lawfull English monie to be paide unto him at the age of one and twentie yeares."
The SETH WARD patent was land previously home to THOMAS SHEFFIELD and his family from 1619 to 1622. THOMAS SHEFFIELD had received a royal land grant of 2,300 acres from the Crown of England; he and his family were tragically killed in an Indian Massacre on February 22, 1622. From 1622 to 1634 the land remained uninhabited until the Indians and settlers reached an agreement and it was safe for the settlers to return to the area. SETH WARD acquired the Sheffield property in 1634. RICHARD GREGORY of Dinwiddie bought about 1,000 acres from another SETH WARD sometime between 1797 - 1805 and built the house that sits on the property today. Other owners of the land were MR. GREGORY's son and later his granddaughter LAVINA and her husband, MAJOR AUGUSTUS DREWRY; during this time the Confederates built a fort there known as Fort Darling at Drewry's Bluff. After the Civil War Drewry traded the farm to CAPTAIN JAMES B. JONES, a confederate officer who had served at Fort Darling. In 1887 the entire property was sold to JAMES BELLWOOD of Canada, and an agriculturist. With his three sons JAMES BELLWOOD turned the 2,400 acres into a model farm. In June 1941 the U. S. Army bought the land from the BELLWOOD sons who negotiated for the Army to take care of the elk that their father had placed on the land. The old home is used as an Officer's Club today. The property is the present site of the DEFENSE SUPPLY CENTER RICHMOND.
"Virginia Gleanings in England" states that on Feburary 1, 1650 SETH WARD sold acreage to MORGAN PIERCE (Henrico County records, Volume 1677-92, page 239) that SETH WARD held as a patent for 350 acres of land in the vicinity of Varina, Henrico County, 150 acres by a former patent and 50 acres by purchase from JOHN BAKER and 150 acres for transportation of three persons (Virginia Patent Book 1, page 946).
On July 14, 1637 RICHARD WARD patented 100 acres in Varina, Henrico County, adjoining JOHN BAKER; 50 acres for "his own personal adventure" and 50 acres by purchase (Virginia Patent Book No. 1, page 440). SETH WARD's land patented in 1643 included land purchased from JOHN BAKER. According to "Virginia Gleanings in Virginia" this RICHARD WARD has always been deemed to be a son of SETH WARD. RICHARD WARD moved to the southside of the James River and on March 9, 1665 patented 1,337 acres on the river and Falling Creek (Virginia Patent Book 5, page 164). He served as a magistrate in Henrico County in 1666 and died in 1682 leaving four children: eldest son, SETH WARD; RICHARD WARD, second son; EDWARD WARD, youngest son; and ELIZABETH WARD, daughter.
On 1 November 1640 SETH WARD sold 200 acres purchased of WILLIAM WORSHAM 200 acres in Henrico County. [Wm. Worsham :& George Worsham, 400 acres, Henrico County, 15 Feb 1652, p 23. 200 acres part hereof lying at the old Towne at Appomattox River siding SW by the Old Towne Creek upon John Coogney's land extending NE upon Mrs. DOROTHY CLERK (sic Clarke), widow; and 200 acres being part of the old Towne aforesaid, bounded from the S by W corner of said Worshams first 200 acres upon the head of the said land N by E, thence into the woods towards Swifts Creek &c 200 acres being part of a patent granted unto William Clarke deceased, 6 May 1638, and by said Clarke sold unto Seth Ward from whom it was purchased by Willliam Worsham, 2 November 1640; and 200 acres for transport of 4 persons: Henry White, Jo.
