WAS OUR JAMES HAWORTH, THE HUNTER?

·       It is probable that James Haworth, son of George, was "James Haworth, the Hunter".

·       Why? There was simply no other James Haworth in America that could have made such a trip in the mid 1700's. 

WHEN DID THE HUNTING TRIP TAKE PLACE?

·       Probably about 1750. James may have traveled with Squire Boone to NC, after Boone's brief stop in Virginia. James does not appear to have been in Virginia during the early 1750's.

·       Marilyn Winton wrote in the minutes of the 1999 Haworth reunion that James was fined in a 1755 court martial hearing for missing three musters in the company of Captain Jeremiah Stewart.

·       There is an otherwise unexplained age gap in the births of James Haworth's children during this time period.
