Samuel Montross
Worden was born on 7 July 1794 at Clinton Twp, Dutchess Co., NY; or 1795 (shown as age 5 in 1790 census).
2 He was the son of
Leonard Worden.
1 Samuel Montross Worden married
Catherine Southard, daughter of
Barend Southard and
Elizabeth Ostrander, on 8 November 1823 at Rhinebeck Reformed Church, Rhinebeck, Dutchess Co., NY; Samuel Montross was a widower when he married Katherine Southard. (Could he have been married to the Elizabeth Worden who died 1 Jan 1822 in Pleasant Valley, Dutchess County NY.? There is a reference at the First Presbyterian Church in Pleasant Valley, record "#12: 17 May 1812. Baptized adult, Elizabeth Worden, wife of Samuel Worden." But also see Samuel M. Worden, b. 1777 in Westchester County, died in 1839/1840 in Pleasant Valley; he may have been married to an Elizabeth who had a child Zaccheus b. about 1807, d. 1826 in Pleasant Valley.).
3,4,5 Samuel Montross Worden died on 28 January 1880 at Rhinebeck, Dutchess Co., NY, at age 85.
6 Samuel Montross Worden appeared on the census of 1800; age 6.
7 He lived circa 1840 at Milan Hollow Road, Milan, Dutchess Co., NY; per June Goodrich Wilcha, this homestead was near Bulls Head Road and Clinton. In a letter from the Town of Milan historian, Norma Ingles, dated November 10, 1989, the suggestion is made that Samuel Montross' land may have bordered Wildey, Thorne or Herrick land, near the Town of Clinton line. According to family tradition, he was a blacksmith. In 1828, a Samuel M. Worden sold blacksmith tools to John Bard (see land records at Dutchess County Courthouse), but this was probably a cousin, the son of Samuel Worden, Peleg's brother. (But see Gilbert Bahn. Dr. Gilbert Bahn, eminent Worden researcher, disagrees with my assignment of Samuel Montross' parents. He attributes SM to Jesse - Samuel - Daniel - Samuel, Jr. - Dr. Samuel Worden. Jesse was Benjamin's cousin. Benjamin's father, Peleg, and Jesse's father, Samuel, were brothers, both sons of Daniel.).
