Subject: Looking for the birth of John Worth
Date: Sun, 3 Jan 1999 16:28:00 -0500


My great grandfather, John Worth, was born in Pennsylvania in 1852 according to the 1900 census of Delaware, where he lived at that time. He had a brother named William Worth who was also said to have been born in PA. Because Chester County is so close to Wilmington, DE where they lived I have been thinking maybe they were born in Chester County. I have not found them on any census indexes or anywhere else, however.
Does anyone know if there is a way to find a record of a birth in Pennsylvania in about 1850 if one does not know the county of birth? Would this birth be on file in the State Archives?

Thank you,
Mary Lou
