Robert M. ALDWORTH married 04 APR 1854 in Muscogee County, Georgia, to Lucy C. WHEELER.


Mears' 1860 city directory for Columbus, Geogia, pp. 17 -18:

ALDWORTH, Richard, tinner at 137 Broad Street, boards at Front & Baldwin streets.

ALDWORTH, R. M., tinner at 137 Broad Street [address not reported; see advertisement]

(40 Ireland) male, tinner, no real estate reported but personal estate valued at $500; Lucy (27 Vermont) female; Mary (5 Georgia) female; Richard (3 Georgia) male; and Billey (1 Georgia) male.


Mary Jane Galer's "Columbus, Georgia: Lists of People in the Town, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p.251, shows: R. M.
