GEORGE WORDEN, farmer ; P. O. Weymouth. Is a son of Zara and Sally (Frisbee) Worden, who were natives of Connecticut, and early settlers in Medina Co. They first located in Liverpool Township, where George was born in June, 1822. When he was about a year old, his parents removed back to Connecticut and remained there about three years ; then, tired of the rocks and hills of Connecticut, they returned to Liverpool Township, where they resided for a number of years. Subsequently, they removed to Lorain Co., and then to Weymouth, Medina Co., where they both departed this life. George remained with his parents until he was 24 years old ; he then came to Granger Township, and took up 112 acres of timbered land, which he has since cleared and improved with fences, buildings, etc., and where he has resided up to the present writing. He was married, Aug. 23, 1852, to Miss Mary A. Clark ; she was a daughter of Phineas and Saloma (Brown) Clark, natives of New York, and pioneers of Brunswick Township, coming there as early as 1817, and residents of the township up to 1864, when Phineas died and his wife removed to Weymouth, Medina Township, where she died in 1875. Mary was born in Brunswick in 1834 ; she has a sister, Jane Wallace, living in Weymouth. Mr. and Mrs. Worden had but one child—William S.—who is now living at home. They are both members of the Methodist Church. The children of Zara and Sally Worden, now living, are as follows : Nathan, now a resident of Henry Co.; George, the subject of this sketch ; Joseph, living in Medina ; Sally Ann, residing in Medina ; Caroline Upson, living in Medina, and Thomas, now living in Medina.
