2014: DNA evidence now proves that Leonard was the son of Benjamin and Sarah Worden, which suggests that Samuel M. was probably the son of Samuel b. 1745 (although it doesn't rule oyut the possibility that Samuel M. was also Benjamin's son).
******************************
2011: Gilbert Bahn now attributes Leonard (ID #1545) as a son of Samuel b. 1745 (ID #1875) instead of Benjamin (ID #1654) and Samuel M. (ID #1873) as a son of Benjamin (ID #1654) instead of Samuel (ID #1875). While no records have yet been found to confirm or deny this, one thing to consider is that Benjamin and Sarah lived in the northwest part of the Town of Clinton (Dutchess County, NY) and Samuel M. lived in Pleasant Valley in the southern part of Clinton (until 1821 when it was spun off to form its own Town), at least 10 miles south of Clinton Hollow. We do not know where Leonard lived but his wife was a Montross and her family lived in Clinton Hollow, a mile or two east of the Frost and Benjamin Worden lands. It may also be worthwhile to note that Leonard and Amy Worden's oldest son, Samuel Montross Worden, lived 2 or 3 miles north of Clinton Hollow at the intersection of Bulls Head Rd. and Slate Quarry Rd. in the Town of Milan.²
