   You forgot one more theory:  The Worms created the wormlings from 
people they have taken.
   In the Marshal section of "The Quick & The Dead"(I *think*, if not, 
maybe it's "City o' Gloom") they talk about a "network" of salt rattlers 
that are taking people to their "queen" and being kept alive so that 
they could breed a human-worm hybrid.   I'm playing off memory, so as 
soon as I get my copy of Q&D back I'll look it up.
    Obviously the wormlings are the result of such a hybrid.  The 
question now is, of course, exactly how they did it- and when...
