Excerpt from Southworth Genealogy As I send forth this book I desire to thank all who have rendered assistance in collecting material. I regret the genealogy is not more complete. Many names of Southworths have been obtained who could not be assigned to any family, nor traced to known ancestors. It must be that mistakes and contradictions will be found in the record. Dates and names obtained from different sources have not been the same. Accounts of members of families have not agreed with town records nor with each other. When it has been impossible to decide which is the more probably correct, both are given, one in parentheses; Other Southworths than the children of Edward and Alice came to this country. A Thomas Southard was in Hempstead, L. I., as early as 1650. Francis Southworth, with his servant Thomas Yates, came to Virginia in 1672. Samuel Southworth, born in Ireland in 1756, came probably in the latter half of the eighteenth century. He had two Wives and fourteen chil dren. More recently two brothers came, whose children are in Lynn and Fall River. The uniform testimony has been that the descendants of Constant South worth have shown the Virtue, courage, faith, and righteousness which they have inherited from their early ancestor. The large majority have been God-fearing citizens; many have been officers in church, town, and state, upholding the religion of Christ and building well for the nation's future. A before a name shows that the record of that person is given later. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
