• Notes

  National Society Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims Worth, William c1640 Devonshire, England 1724 Nantucket, MA [unk.] Sarah Macy https://www.societyofthepilgrims.com William came to New England with his older half brothers, Lionel and Richard. William stayed on Nantucket Island, Richard went to New Jersey and then up to Massachusetts where he was involved one way or the other with the Law. There is no direction as to where Lionel went. There is only one documented child of William and his first wife Sarah Macy: John, born 19 May 1666 in Nantucket. This information was derived from "A Genealogical History of the Clark and Worth Families" by Carol Clark Johnson; "Ancestral Roots of Certain Colonists" by Frederick Weis; "Plantagenet Ancestry" by Moriarity and from documents found on the Harvard Law Library web site.
