This is a stab in the dark. I'm trying to find the maiden name of my 2nd great grandmother Matilda who maiden name may possibly be Washam or Worsham. She was born 12 March 1812 in MD and married Allen Gatewood Caywood. They had 10 children. 5 were born in TN, 1 in IL, 4 in IA. Allen died in 1855 in Wapello County, IA. Matilda died in 1881 in Montgomery County, IA.

Were there any Washam families in MD around 1812 with a daughter, Matilda?
