The John B. Wornall Collection(1829-2013)

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION:

John Bristow Wornall, the oldest son of Richard and Judith Wornall, was born October 12, 1822, in Clark County, Kentucky. Two years after John’s birth the family moved to Shelby County, Kentucky, and settled four miles north of Shelbyville. Richard Wornall had been a successful farmer as well as mule and horse trader for nineteen years, but financial losses forced him to move west. In 1843, Richard, Judith, and their two sons, John Bristow and George “Thomas,” moved to Westport, Missouri. Richard Wornall purchased 498.98 acres of land from John McCoy for a total cost of $2,500. The crops from the first year reportedly paid the entire purchase price of the farm. Richard and Judith sold the land to their sons in the mid-1840s. Thomas died of cholera on the western plains in 1849, and John became the sole titleholder. After Judith died in 1849, Richard Wornall returned to Kentucky.

In 1850, John married Matilda Polk, daughter of William Polk of Bourbon County, Kentucky. She died childless in 1851. In September 1854, John married Eliza Shalcross Johnson (born April 20, 1836). Her father, Rev. Thomas Johnson, founded the Shawnee Methodist Indian Mission in Kansas in 1831.

John and Eliza had seven children. Two lived beyond infancy: Frank (September 25, 1855-June 24, 1954) and Thomas Johnson (June 28, 1865-December 5, 1923). Eliza died on July 5, 1865, a week after the birth of her last child. She was 29 years old. On September 25, 1866, John married Eliza’s first cousin, Roma Johnson (August 30, 1846-May 9, 1933). They also had two children who lived beyond infancy: John B. (March 13, 1872-February 4, 1962) and Charles H. (born August 26, 1876-February 21, 1938).

Wornall was one of the more prosperous farmers in Jackson County. In 1860 he paid “State, County, State Interest and Asylum” tax on $18,500 and received a receipt for $114.85. The Kansas City Enquirer and Star listed him as one of the “Solid Men of Jackson County, “meaning one of those who paid taxes on $10,000 or more. The 1860 census shows that John Wornall had four slaves and two hired hands (Silas Dawson and Josiah Bassett). Family records indicate that a young Kentucky lawyer, John Peyton, lived on the farm as did Harris Manion, a sixteen-year-old orphan, and Mittie Pigg, a fourteen-year-old orphan from Kentucky.

John Wornall was a leading citizen in Jackson County. He was one of the original members and president (in 1856) of The Jackson County Agricultural and Mechanical Association. The association, founded in Independence in 1853, sought to encourage better methods of farming and introduce superior types of crops.

John was active in the Baptist Church, serving as treasurer and moderator of the Big Blue (later Westport) Baptist Church. He was also a strong supporter of William Jewell College and acted as chairman of its Board of Trustees.

In 1857, John Wornall and his brother-in-law, A. S. Johnson, became incorporators for the Shawnee Town Company of Johnson County, Kansas. This interest in real estate apparently continued, as a directory in 1867-68 listed his profession as such. In 1860, the Kansas City Enquirer and Star reported that southern sympathizers formed a temporary vigilance committee called the Westport Minute Men. John Wornall’s name headed the list; he also served on its examining committee.

John Wornall co-founded the Kansas City National Bank in 1870. That same year he was elected to the state senate representing Cass, Jackson, and Bates counties. He served four years before declining re-nomination.

During the Civil War, John Wornall, a slaveholder with family ties to the south, tried to maintain neutrality, but more than once was a subject of violence. In fall 1861, Colonel Charles “Doc” Jennison moved into Jackson County as the leader of the Seventh Kansas Calvary and in 1863 commandeered the Wornall home as his headquarters. About 200 men under Jennison’s command occupied the farm for eight days, burning fences, killing livestock, and destroying crops. At the end of the eight days, Jennison admitted that he had come to kill Wornall because of his southern sympathies and alleged aid to the bushwhackers, but finding no evidence to support these rumors, Jennison departed, leaving over $2,800.00 for damages done to the farm.

The John Wornall House was also used as a make-shift hospital for wounded soldiers during the Battle of Westport in 1864, and still stands today as a historic site and museum.
