Notes for Alexander Hamilton Wortman:
General Notes:
Have also seen 13 Mar 1845 as birth date.
In the 1860 Census of McArthur Township, Logan County, Ohio 55A:29. Alex is a 13 year old living with the David Patterson family. As noted for his brother John E. Wortman, 11 years old, also living with
another family at the 1860 Census. It is possible that Melinda McDaniel (Campbell) Wortman was financially unable to care for all her children and these arrangements helped ease the financial burdens.

Comments:
16 Nov 1908 from Avalon, California. Letter signed "Uncle Alex" was mailed to Irma May (Wortman) Leech congratulating her on the birth of her first child, William Leech, born 31 Oct 1908. Alex mentions he has done nothing for a year -- not well. He writes "Sister [probably Lavina (Wortman) Saum] has been in Los Angeles for last 5 weeks, don't know when she'll be home. Opal will graduate in February. She & Willie visited a couple of weeks in summer. [Opal and Willie are children of Isa May (Saum) , Lavina's daughter. You inquire about Isa [Lavina's daughter] and baby. I thought I had written you of its death -- only lived a few weeks.
