Notes for CAPTAIN JOHN WORTHINGTON:
In the Hundred of Leyland, Parish of Standish & Palatinate of Lancaster is situated the Manor of Worthington. The main stock established at Worthington is recorded in the "Herald's Visitations" & can be traced thru the archives as far back as the time of Henry III. In the 20th of that monarch's reign (1236) the name William de Worthington occurs in the Testa de Nevill, & in the 15th, Edward II (1322), by the same authority William held 1/2 a knight's fee in Worthington. In the 5th of the next reign William is mentioned & in the 20th, Hugh de Worthington & John de Heton as holding a knight's fee in Worthington.
Thr Hundred of Leyland (Leylandshire) was in Saxon times a royal possession of great extent. King Edward, the Confessor held the Hundred of Leyland which was divided into 12 divisions or manors. The manor or lordship of Worthington was one of the 12. Of the derivative branches of this most ancient family, the oldest is that of Henry de Worthington of Blainscough: the 2nd Christopher Worthington Esq of Crosshawe, 3rd William Worthington of Shevington, in Standish Parish ,Co Lancaster described as a younger brother of Worthington of Worthington. (The Genealogy of the Worthington Family compiled by George Worthington, 1894)Professor Childs of Harvard University says" the name was originally spelled Weorthington, and is as old as anything in England. Translated into modern English it means the descendants of the men who settled the place. During the civil war between Charles I & the Puritans, the Worthingtons were staunch supporters of the Crown & the established Church; in consequence of which they lost the estates which they had held for more than 4oo yrs & which had been bestowed upon their progenitors for loyalty & marital valor. Upon accession of Chrles II most of this land was restored to the orginal owners. (The Bowies & Their Kindred)
************************************************************************************* The motto of the Worthington family of Cheshire, England, was Virtute dignus avorum ("In virtue worthy of one's ancestors"). Each branch of the thirteenth-century Lancashire family of William de Worthington inherited not only his motto but a coat of arms: "Argent - three shakeforks, sable, two and one; crest a goat passant, argent, holding in his mouth an oak branch proper )or vert), fructed, or"; which, translated, means a silver shield with three black, triple-tined stable forks, one below and two above; the crest, a side view of a silver goat, holding in its mouth a green-leafed oak branch with golden acorns. This motto and coat of arms may be seen in Chorley Church, Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire, where lived the particular branch of the family in which we are interested.
From Norman times on, the family had been a fertile one; in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the Worthingtons were numerous in Cheshire and adjoining Lancashire. Many were devout Anglicans and eminent scholars; for instance, John Worthington (1618-71) was master of Jesus College and Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge. Others were nonconformist ministers: John of Dean Row, and Robert of Mottram-in-Longdendale, who in the 1640's fought the power of established church. Others remained true to the Catholic faith, notably Thomas (1549-1622), president of Douay College, and his son Thomas (1671-1754), Dominican Prior of Barnhem, Flanders and Prior Provincial of England. Many joined the Pietiest Society of Friends and fostered in their communities the industry, sobriety, and integrity associated with the will of the righteous God they tried to serve (Thomas Worthington Father of Ohio Statehood by Alfred Bryon Sears) ************************************************************************************* "The 1st settlements in Anne Arundel Co were made in 1649 when a few families, members of the Puritan sect, came up from Virginia & settled at the mouth of the Severn, calling their settlement Providence.
