My Worley Lineage III
By Randall S. Treadway

Part I         Part II         Part III

    Nathan married secondly to Susanna King. Susanna was born 1805 in North Carolina according to her headstone. The 1830 Census gives us her birth range of 1801-1810, and the 1850 Census states she was born 1811 (the latter two Census records are more feasible). Also going with these variances it opens her paternal line up to more possibilities: Joseph King, Samuel King, Jr., Benjamin King and William King. Many years ago a distant cousin had told me that he thought that Susanna might be the daughter of William Rufus King. To this day I am still looking for any kind of proof. She did name her oldest son William. Nathan and his family were also listed in the 1830 Buncombe Co., North Carolina Census records, the 1840 Buncombe Co., North Carolina, Northern Division Census records, pg. 184, the 1850 Buncombe Co., North Carolina Census records, pg. 283, household 1042. Susanna was not listed in the rest of Nathan's Census records. Where did she go? Did the separate? Did the divorce and she remarry? In any case I cannot find her after that Census. Can anyone tell me? Nathan was listed in the 1860 Madison Co., North Carolina Census records, pg. 329, household 473, and the 1870 Marshall, Madison Co., North Carolina Census records, pg. 414, household 80, living with his daughter Julia Ann and James Roberts.  Nathan at one time owned his own Grist Mill.  Nathan died in 1870 and Susanna supposedly died in 1885.
