I have been writing about William J. Worth in my Not So Forgotten: War of 1812 blog.
He was an officer in the War of 1812, Second Seminole War and the Mexican War and at one time, a close friend of Winfield Scott.
After the Mexican War he was almost involved in a plot to kick the Spanish out of Cuba.
He is buried under the Worth Memorial in New York City.
Interesting Reading. --Cooter
