Hist of Nantucket 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.

JUL 16 1917 ;!. A 4 7 2 8 5 1602. The island of Nantucket was discovered by Barthol- omew Gosnold, an Englishman, who sailed from England in a small bark, with thirty-two persons, bound for Vir- ginia, in search of a proper site for a plantation. The first land seen was Sankaty Head. The Indian population at that time is said to have been about 1,500. 1630. A war occurred between the Eastern and Western tribes of Indians, according to tradition. 1639. Thomas Macy, who became one of the first settlers of Nantucket, came from England this year and settled at Salisbury, where he and his wife (Sarah Hopcott) lived twenty years before coming to Nantucket. 1641. The island was deeded to Thomas Mayhew and his eon Thomas, by James Forrett, agent of William, Earl of Sterling. 1659. Thomas Macy and family, accompanied by Edward Starbuck and Isaac Coleman, moved from Salisbury to Nantucket, and were the first white people who lived on the island. This year the island was deeded by Mayhew to the ten original purchasers for the sum of thirty pounds sterling and two beaver hats.

  • The Congdon Chronicle, Begins the Realization of One of the Hopes of My Later Years
    cV9*CS7l ,C75I 1921-34 CA /C ^ > o / flit/ m ffifte Congbon Cftromcle NUMBER I IANTARV, iqzi PRICE, 25 CENTS Foreword With the publication of this, the first number of the Congdon Chronicle, begins the realization of one of the hopes of my later years. Away back as early as 1893 I began writing to Congdons gathering information from various families. Soon I had the opportunity of visiting a large library, the Newberry Library of Chicago rich in genealogical material, and from various books culled all references to Congdons. While the field now is far from covered, I have a large amount of material. It consists of vital statistics from town records, cemetery records, wills and probate records, copies of old letters and other papers, biographical sketches, newspaper clippings and the like. Xow that I have passed my fiftieth birthday I feel that something ought to be done to put this matter in print— if not all of it at least the essential and more valuable parts. By the publication of this paper I hope to accomplish other objects also. There are several large groups of Congdorffe whose earliest known ancestor is not as yet definitely placed in the large Congdon family. Through the paper I hope to procure united effort on the part of these groups to dig into old records and establish the descent. But beyond this two chief purposes were in mind: (1) the organization of a vigorous Congdon Family Association to carry on the work of completing the genealogy if I should not live to do it, and (2) the bringing about of a Congdon Family Meeting, which should gather annually, biennially, or trien- nially as might be seen fit.

BRADBURY -« » t ». * e c (I, c c c t C I < ^o % S(rmha PREFACE. Anatole France, the distinguished French writer re- marks, as if it were the merest truism "that all historical works which are not lies, are insupportably dull" In view of this sweeping assertion it requires no little fortitude to confess, that this History is absolutely truthful, to the best of the author's knowledge and belief. In the adjustment of conflicting facts some seeming errors possibly may be found, but none that have not been and have in carefully"******examined, nothing extenuate Nor set down aught in malice." Grateful acknowledgments are made to Mr. Stephen B. Miller's "Historical Sketches of Hudson." Had that work been still in print this would not have been written. The fear that its valuable material would be lost, together with the numerous inquiries in relation to the early history and settlement of Hudson, led to the preparation of this volume. Thanks are also due to Mr. Peyton F. Miller's "A Group of Great Lawyers," and to all who have so willingly assisted by the loan of books and documents, or by the expression of a kindly interest. A. R. B. Hudson, September 15, 1908.
