- If I am correct, Richard Worley is the brother of my 6th great grandfather. he (Richard) was killed in South Carolina. He was one of several pirates captured by Col. William Rhett, including "Gentleman Pirate" Stede Bonnett and some 30 others. They were all famously tried by Cheif Justice Nicholas Trot and hung by order of then SC Governor Robert Johnson. All were buried off White Point Park (Battery Park) in Charleston, SC below the low water mark.

- I'm Richard G. Worley's 5th generation grandson. Was researching my family tree for a school project this year and found out. People think that he died in a naval battle against four gun ships in James Town harbor. But in truth he and two other crew member gotta escaped and settled in whats now known as south Carolina. Fearing that they send more ship for him he headed inland toward the mississippi.
