WORTH
WILLIAM WORTH
was born in England about 1640. He came to Nantucket as a "Half Share" man in 1662 to pursue the occupation of a Sailor. He married (April 1, 1665) Sarah, the daughter of Thomas and Sarah Macy. They had but one child-a son, John. His wife died 1701, and he married twice subsequently but had no other children. He died 1724. He was quite active in Nantucket affairs having been five times chosen a Selectman, three times an Assistant Magistrate, four times As- sessor, and for many years Clerk of the Court. The earliest Vital Records are in his hand writing and a large number of marriages were solemnized by him, the marriage service for many years being a civil and not a religious contract. The Worth homestead was in the No-Bottom Pond section. *
Patronymica Britannica says of the name that it is " a very usual termination for family names as Longworth, Ainsworth, Whit- worth, Hepworth. It is possibly identical with the South German Worth. North German wuurt a plot of ground surrounded with water but elevated above it or secured with dykes or piles * * * The old expression in those days What is he worth? meant Has he land? If he had secured a Worth to himself he was called a worthy person."
JOHN [2] (William [1])
born May 19, 1666; married (September 22, 1684) Miriam daugh- ter of Richard Gardner. His wife died about 1700, after which he removed to Marthas Vineyard. There he was twice married. By his first marriage he had one son and two daughters. The chil- dren by his first wife, with the exception of Nathaniel, all settled in Nantucket. They were --
Jonathan, born October 31, 1685; married (16th, 4 mo. 1707) Mary Hussey, daughter of Stephen.
ii Nathaniel, born September 8, 1687; married at the Vineyard.
