.Catherine's parentage is a guess. There are two Bushong families she could belong to. George Bushong and Sarah Pyle or David Bushoing (Jr) and Dorcas Stophel....

DNA is about the only way you’re going to figure this one out. If you go this route, I suggest AncestryDNA.
I tested or have access to the DNA results of a good many people in my mother’s family (she is the granddaughter of the William Worsham you noted on the census, brother of Robert). Quite a few of WW’s descendants did their DNA after I contacted them about our family history. Anyway, DNA pushed me a lot further down the road than I ever expected to go. I did not attempt to identify the descendants of the siblings of WIlliam Worsham among her DNA results, that would be interesting to look at.

My tree is William Odell Worsham/Sarah Rodgers on Ancestry, and my email is onewally@aol.com if you want to email me.
