WENTWORTH

The information I have below is from the Wentworth Genealogy volumes.
My great-great-great-great grandfather, Charles Wentworth (born 11/17/1803 in Mass.) moved to Spragueville, Ia sometime around 1850 (is my best guess). He and his wife brought with them several children, including just two boys: Charles Francis Wentworth (b. 5/2/1835)and Joseph Osburn Wentworth (b. 9/27/1830). Charles F. moved to WI and married and had a child, who is my great-great-great grandfather. He left the child in WI when the mother died and took off. Our only records of him after that indicate he was living in Yellville, Arkansas and had remarried on 7/13/1876.
Joseph Osburn Wentworth appears to have stayed in Iowa because in the Genealogy, it states that he had several children, including William Walter Wentworth (born in Van Buren Twnshp 3/6/1862) and Louis Napoleon Wentworth (born in Fairfield Twnshp 4/30/1865).
That is as much as I know. I am looking on any information that would document the elder Charles, the son Charles Francis, the son Joseph Osburn, or Joseph's sons William and Louis and their descendents.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
