Our Warthan/Warthen family which originated in Maryland should not be confused with the Worthen family from Massachusetts, many of whom are also living in Indiana.  In Maryland our name is found both as Warthan and Warthen, and as Warthen when they were living in Ohio.  The first Worthen spelling appears after they moved to Hartford City in 1847. The portion of our family that remained in Hartford City continued using the Worthen spelling, while the family members moving on to Iowa retained the correct original Warthen spelling. S6

William Reed, ID5025 -
-  I received this from one of my Haas Aunts with no explanation or dates
-  It is a Newspaper article from Hartford City, Blackford County, Indiana recounting the life of William.  It shows a picture of William and a picture of the Old Central School
-  At this point [17 July 2008] I have no idea how William fits into the family
     -  He is the age range of Enos T. Reed, ID5732 - Maybe a brother? 
-  The Reeds I have information on are a part of my Worthen family
-  Born in Ohio, 1837 - Died in Hartford City in 1918 - was Superintendent of schools for 14 years
