641. Documentation for Sarah Macy (01 August 1646 to 1701) mother of John Worth (19 May 1666 to 11 February 1731/2)
Sarah Macy, a daughter of Thomas Macy and Sarah Hopcott, was born 01 August 1646.(1) Sarah Macy married William Worth on 11 April 1665, at Nantucket, Massachusetts.(2). The marriage was the first marriage performed on Nantucket. Sarah (Macy) Worth, wife of William Worth, died in 1701.(3) William Worth was baptized 25 February 1642, son of John and Barbara Worth, in St. Andrews Parrish, Plymouth, Devon, England.(4) John Worth, father of William, was baptized 11 April 1606, in St. Andrews parish.(5) John married twice, first circa 1626 and had son Lionel by this union.(6) John married second 15 April 1634 at Uffculme, Barbara Strong.(7) This union produced Richard, William, and Olyve. According to Carol Clark Johnson, “Worth is simply a place-name taken from the Saxon ‘weord’, a farm or estate with enclosures to protect cattle from wild beasts, and located near the head of a river. The Worth of Devonshire is adjacent to the river Exe.”(8) Plague killed one-half the population of Plymouth in 1625. John died in 1643 at the seige of Plymouth Fort where his father also died. The family estates were seized by the crown and government.(9) William Worth is thought to have come with his older brothers, Lionel and Richard, to Salisbury, Massachusetts prior to 1647.(10) Afterwards they went to Newbury, Massachusetts.(11) William later went to Nantucket where he was the first Caucasian person to marry on the island.(12) William was a blacksmith and mariner, a Justice, and in 1678 a highly esteemed Clerk of the Court.(13) William Worth was quite active in Nantucket affairs -- chosen a selectman 5 times, an Assistant Magistrate, 3 times, the Assessor 4 times, and was the Clerk of the Court for many years. William Worth (1640-1724), a Quaker, left England during the Revolution and settled in Nantucket in 1662. As an educated man and owner of a half-share of common land, he became active in local affairs and served as Selectman, Assistant Magistrate, Assessor and as Clerk of the Court. His marriage to Sarah Macy was the first performed on Nantucket. Some of William Worth’s descendants settled in Martha’s Vineyard, North Carolina or Hudson, New York while others joined the gold rush in California. Many, however, remained on the island and took part in whaling as well as local affairs. William Worth kept a record of Nantucket births, deaths and marriages.(14) Only one child is recorded for the first marriage of William Worth.(15) A son, John Worth was born to William Worth and Sarah Macy on 19 May 1666.(16) He married Miriam Gardner, daughter of Richard Gardner and Sarah Shattuck.(17) They were married 22 September 1684.(18) Miriam died about 1700.(19) John moved to Martha's Vineyard where he married twice again.(20) The children of John Worth and Miriam Gardner were: Jonathan, Nathaniel, Judith, Richard, William, Joseph and Mary.(21) William Worth married again on 03 September 1703.(22) His second wife was Demaris Sibley.(23) William Worth died in December 1724.(24) His second wife, Demaris Sibley, died in 1745.(25) The following list contains some records in the Nantucket Historical Association related to William Worth: 1) Image Number worthlands-206 Owners of Shimmo, Fish Lots, West and South Monomoy.
