This chart surfaced at the year 2004 national reunion, and is owned by Cy Shearer, who said I "levitated" a foot off the floor when he asked me what I knew about the chart.
The last reference we have to the chart, is in the minutes of the 1907 national reunion. The following is an except from the minutes:

"THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
....FOURTH: -- That we express our thanks to Miss Grace Hanson and Dr. 0. J. Pennington for the efficient manner in which they have brought the genealogical chart of the Haworth family up to its present degree of completeness.
In a paper submitted by Grace Hanson, she states:
"...The compiling of family history, with no source of information save the memory and traditions of a scattered family is no easy task. Chas. B. Davis, of High Point, N. C. has worked industriously for seven years to complete his tables of the Haworth genealogy and his work is not yet complete. The chart before you, which contains all of his and as much more as we could gather, cost ten days of constant work besides that occupied in correspondence. "
It is believed that Grace Hanson and Dr. O. J. Pennington prepared this chart from data that had been collected by Charles Davis.
Mr. Charles Davis published the Haworth Record, a newsletter for the Haworth family, in 1906 to 1915. We have collected and copied every issue of this newsletter and included it here on the web page. See: Haworth Record
As to the picture above, I have marked an x (on the left) showing my grandmother's direct line. And the x on the right showing my grandfather's direct line. My father saw this chart (or a portion of the chart) in 1930 and copied exactly the text shown on the middle left side of the chart. This chart is indeed a great surprise. Ron Haworth, Editor
