H.R.-
You wrote that you had a book with information concerning the PA
Worthingtons., "I do have some information on the Worthingtons that
entered Chester Co., PA from a book on the history of that County.
Being a Worthington AND lived in Chester Co., I was very interested.
Have not found the connection, within the US between the two lines."
Does the book contain information relating to the family Robert "Bobby"
Dunblean Worthington? This is the line that I am following. As I
understand it Bobby, son of Samuel Worthington, was b. abt. 1717 in a
part of Delaware, which is today in Chester Co., PA. He died in May,
1788, in Westmoreland Co., PA.
As I understand it this line began with Robert Worthington, b. abt. 1663
in Quarrel Bank, Pownall Fee, Cheshire, England and d. in 1735,
Patuxent, Anne Arundel Co., MD.
"Robert Worthington was persecuted for his religion, and aided in part
by a collection made up for him by the Morely Monthly Meeting, Robert and
Alice Left Quarrel Bank (England) and emigrated from Morley MM,
Cheshire, England, to Ballignehee, Kings Co., Ireland, in 1695.
Between 1695 and 1697 they moved to Ballinakill, a small village in
County West Meath, in Ireland. In 1711 they moved to Dublin and on June
23, 1713, he and Alice requested a letter from Dublin NM to Friends in
Pennsylvania. Robert's eldest son, Samuel, migrated to Salem, New
Jersey, in 1712. Robert and Alice followed their son on July 26, 1714,
where they presented their certificate to Salem MM New Jersey.
In 1722 Robert Worthington was dismissed by the Salem Meeting to the
Philadelphia Meeting and moved his family to the vicinity of
Philadelphia, where he established himself as a merchant, farmer, stock
raiser, and dealer in lands. Unhappily, a few years later Alice was
taken sick and died.
Robert married his second wife, Mary Burtis, in 1729 in New Jersey.
Deciding to leave Philadelphia and move westward, Worthington divided
his estate into nine equal portions, retaining one for himself and
distributing the others among his eight children, who, with the
exception of Samuel and Jacob, were not interested in moving into the
wilderness. In 1730, having completed the purchase of three thousand
acres of northern Shenandoah Valley land, he moved his wife and infant
son Robert, to the area west of the Blue Ridge mountains just south of
the Potomac. This land lay in Frederick Co., VA; for a time in Berkeley
Co., VA, and finally in Jefferson Co., WV.
In mid October 1735, while at Snowden's ireworks near Paxtuxent, MD,
Robert was taken ill and died at an inn close by. On October 2, he had
had an attorney draw a will which divided his estate of three thousand
acres among his widow, his children (Robert, Jacob, Mary and Martha) and
a grandson, Bobby Dunblean, first son of Samuel, who was Worthington's
eldest son by his first wife. However, the lawyer failed to specify
that the land was to be held in fee simple by each devisee and his
heairs forever. The Virginia law, therefore, gave the heirs only
lifetime estate, with reversion to Bobby Dunblean on their deaths."

Benjamin Borden was born in 1692, a son of Benjamin
Borden and --- Grover, near Freehold, N.J., and died in Frederick Co, Va.,
in 1743. He married Zeruiah Winter of West New Jersey, and came to
Virginia sometime in 1732 ... His will, dated April 3, 1742, and probated
October 9, 1743, in Frederick County, mentions his wife Zeruiah, his sons
Benjamin Jr., John and Joseph, and his daughters Abigail, wife of Jacob
Worthington, Hannah, wife of Capt. Edward Rogers, Mercy, wife of

of --- Branson and Deborah and Lidy, still single.

It is not known when John Frost died, but the records of
Frederick County show that administration upon the estate of
John Chambers was granted to John Frost, with Robert
Worthington and Richard Morgan as sureties, on June 18, 1748.
Pages 183-184:
In the settlement of Friends in the section that is now
Jefferson County, W. Va., and near to the country-seat, Charles
Town, perhaps the first Friend to arrive was Robert Worth-
ington, who settled on Evitt's Marsh on a tract of 3000 acres
granted him from the Crown, and which he named "Quarry
Banks New Stile" for his old home in Cheshire, England,
which was named "Quarry Banks." The date of his arrival
in the Shenandoah Valley is not definitely known, but among
the paper relative to the settlement of his estate on record in
Orange County is a deposition made by his widow, which states
that she and her husband were married in Friends Meeting
at Burlington, New Jersey, 13th of 6th month, 1729, "and
quickly after the said marriage ... removed to this County."
Robert Worthington was a consistent Friend and devoted
to the interests of our Society. This is shown by the records
of Moate Monthly Meeting and Dublin Monthly Meeting
in Ireland, which he attended during his residence in that
country, and of the Monthly Meetings of Salem, N. J. and
Philadelphia, Pa., in America. After his settlement in Vir-
ginia he was largely engaged in business as a merchant and
exporter as well as a farmer, and was instrumental in promot-
ing the settlement of the lower Valley. After his death
"Quarry Banks" and a portion of his land came in to the pos-
session of his youngest son Robert. The latter by marriage
out of meeting withdrew from our Society in 1760, and shor-
ly thereafter he with others erected hear his mansion house
St. George's Chapel, said to have been the most costly chapel
in Virginia at that time. The ruins of this chapel are a well
known landmark two and a half miles northwest of Charles
Town. His son Thomas, born and reared at "Quarry Banks,"
removed to Ross County, Ohio, and became the sixth gover-
nor of that state.
The remainder of the "Quarry Banks" estate was divided
amount the older children of Robert Worthington Sr. and was
purchased from them at various times by Lawrence and
Samuel Washington, the latter of whom built, on a part of
this land, his mansion "Harewood" where he resided at the
time of his death in 1781. It is of interest to note that Samuel
Washington's son, George Steptoe Washington, married Lucy
Payne, whose parents, John and Mary Payne, served for many
years as the clerks of Cedar Creek Meeting in Hanover Coun-
ty, Va. At "Harewood" Dorothy Payne Todd, sister to Lucy
(Payne) Washington and widow of John Todd of Pine Street
Meeting, Philadelphia, was married to James Madison, later
fourth President of the United States.

Worthington, Jacob Worthington, Joab Worthington,
Samuel IRVIN and Elizabeth his Wife, Stephen GIFORD
and Sarah his Wife, William BRATTON and Ailse his
Wife, Nathaniel POPE and Mary his Wife
Against ----- William COLTRAINE
Humbly complaining show unto your Honour your Orators
that many years ago, to wit, in the Year _____ John
Worthington purchased of one Christopher VICKERY his
right to and Improvement of a tract of land lying and
situate in Randolph County, and paid a valuable
Consideration thereof. The said Christopher having
previous to that time made such Improvement upon the
said tract of land as entitled him to preemption right
when the entry Office were Opened in the year 1777-
that John Worthington immediately after he made the
Purchase, took possession of the Said tract of land
and settled thereon his Son John, who built a House
and enlarged the Improvement made by Christopher
VICKERY; that John the Son resided on the land for a
considerable time, when he became sickly and removed,
whereupon John Worthington the father kept up the
fences and worked the plantation for many Years- And
that since he discontinued the cultivation of the
plantation, no person has had the actual possession of
the said tract of and They further Show that shortly
after John Worthington junior settled
On the Said tract of land, he entered into an
agreement with one William COLTRAINE of Randolph
County respecting the perfecting to the Title to the
said tract, and in consideration of a certain Sum of
money either actually paid to the Said William
COLTRAINE or secured to be paid to him, he the said
William COLTRAINE promised and agreed to perfect the
Title of the Said tract of land by proving an entry and
a Survey to be made and a Grant to be issued for the
said land in the name and for the Use and benefit of the
Said John Worthington And that shortly after John
Worthington junior left the House and plantation as
aforesaid the Said William COLTRAINE again promised and
agreed to do all things necessary to perfect the title
in the Said John Worthington Senr. And in about the
Year 1799 the Said William COLTRAINE and John
Worthington came to a Settlement of their accounts
respecting the services rendered by COLTRAINE and the
Money advanced by him to perfect the Title to the said
tract of land, and for the balance due to the Said
COLTRAINE upon the Settlement, the Said Worthington
gave his bond.
Your Orators further Show that on or about the
24th day of July AD 1786, the Said William COLTRAINE
having made an entry of the Said tract of land in his
own name, procured a Grant from the State for the
Same, a copy which is annexed to this bill and your
Orators pray may be taken as a part thereof — they
charge that by the Agreement aforesaid the said
William COLTRAINE was bound to procure a title to the
said land to the said John Worthington, and pretended
to the Said John for many years that the entry had
been made in the name of and that a Grant would (be)
issued to the Said John, And after it was discovered
that the entry and Grant was in the name of said
COLTRAINE he often promised to convey the Title to the
Said John Worthington, Saying that he had found it
more convenient to perfect the title in his own name
than in the name of the Said John that the Land
belonged to the Said John and he was to make a
Conveyance of the Title to him.
Your Orators charge that by the Agreement aforesaid
the Said William COLTRAINE upon procuring the Grant
aforesaid became Seised of the Said tract of land in
trust for the Said John Worthington and was bound to
convey the legal estate immediately after he procured
the Grant for they charge that John Worthington
performed his part of the Contract and either actually
paid or Secured to be paid to the Said COLTRAINE and
in a way satisfactory to him, the money which he
COLTRAINE was to receive for his services and
expenditures in procuring the title aforesaid, And
that there was no Condition stipulated to be performed
by the Said John previous to his getting the Title,
which hath not been fulfilled by him with good faith-
Your Orators show that in the Year 1810, the said John
Worthington departed this life intestate leaving the
following Children his Heirs at law, to wit, Your
Orators, Ephraim, Samuel, Jacob, Joab, Elizabeth
intermarried with Samuel Irwin, Sarah intermarried
with Stephen GISFORD, Ailse intermarried with William
BRATTON, and Mary intermarried with Nathaniel POPE, upon
whom the equitable title to the Said tract of land
descended. And that since the death of the Said John
Worthington they have applied to the said William
COLTRAINE in a friendly way and requested him to
convey to them the Said tract of Land; But now so it
is, May it please your Honour, that the Said William
COLTRAINE combining and confederating with Others at
present unknown to your Orators, but whose names when
discovered Your Orators pray may be inserted in this
their Bill of Complaint with apt and Sufficient Words
to charge them and they be made parties thereto, how
to injure and defraud Your Orators in the Promises,
refused to comply with this the reasonable request,
pretending sometimes that no such Agreement as that
set forth by your Orators was ever made, nor any Other
Agreement whereby he was bound to convey to the Said
John Worthington the said tract of land, or procure
for the said John a title to the said tract; the
contrary whereof your Orator charges to be true; at
Other times pretending that true it is he was bound to
perfect the Title to the said tract of land for the
said John Worthington, and convey the Same to him, but
the Said John did not in his life time have his
representation Since his death pay up to him the Said
William the sum agreed to be paid for his services and
expenditures in procuring the said Title, and that a
large balance is still due on the bond of the Said
John given to secure the said Monies;
Whereas your Orators charge that all the money due on
the bond aforesaid hath been paid to the said William,
or that the Said John was entitled to a Sett-off for
the balance due for sundry Articles furnished to the
said William since the execution of the said bond, a
true statement of which is annexed to this your
Orators bill and they pray that it may be taken as a
part thereof; —they further charge that they have
often called upon the Said William to come to a
settlement of the Accounts aforesaid, and to ascertain
whether any and if any, how much was due. on the bond
aforesaid and offered to pay to the Said William the
Said balance, and one of your Orators made an
Application to this effect to said William a short
time ago and offered to pay to him the balance due on
the Said bond if any and requested to the Said William
to make a title to the Said Land. to your Orators, all
of which offers so made by your Orators,. the Said
William wholly refused to comply with:
— In tender Consideration whereof and for as much as
your Orators are remediless in the premises, save only
in this Honourable Court, where Matters of fraud and
trust are cognizable and relievable, and to the end
that the Said William COLTRAINE may upon his Corporal
Oath full, true and perfect Answers make to all the
singular the Premises in as ample manner as if the
same were herein again repeated and he there unto
interrogated And that the Said William may be decreed
to convey the Said tract of land to your Orators with
general Warranty, and that Your Orators may have such
other and further relief in the Premises as to your
Honour shall seem agreeable to equity a good
Conscience, may it please your Honour to grant to your
Orators the State Writ of Subpoena to be directed to.

certain penalty therein to be inserted and appear
before your Honour in the Honourable Court on the

of "Parson Cradock," first Rector of St. Thomas'
Church, built in 1743, and still standing in that

became a member of St. Thomas' Church Vestry,
and was annually re-elected for some fifteen years.
he was a delegate from the parish to the first
general convention of the church in Maryland, and
frequently afterwards to the diocesan convention.
He was active in the revolutionary cause, and a
member of the committee of observation in 1774-5,
previous to the organization of the State govern-
ment. He served one year in the flying corps of
General Washington, in which he held a major's
commission. He died October 4th, 1794.
Margaret "Worthington, sister of Mrs. Cradock,
married Col. William Lamar, a revolutionary offi-
cer, who lies buried on a farm near Frostburg, Md.
On his tombstone his deeds are perpetuated in a
lengthy inscription, of which the following is a
copy:
"In memory of col. William Lamar, a soldier
of the Revolution. At the Tap of the drum in his
Page 16:
native State, Maryland, to the standard of his
country he flew, nor left until she was acknowl-
edged free and independent amoung the nations of
the earth At the battles Harlem Heights,
White Plains, Gerrnantown, Monmouth, Staten
Island, in the north; at Guilford Court House,
Eutaw, Camden, the capture of Fort Mott, Granby,
Wateree, and the siege of Ninety Six Six, in the south,
he was present (and actively engaged, and by his
coolness, bravery and skill, rendered most signal
and important services to the army. At Guilford
the desperate charge of the American troops which
turned the scale of victory in their favor was
ordered at his suggestion, which was communicated
to General Greene through Major Anderson, and
the plan of firing Fort Mott, which was success-
fully adopted, and which occasioned the immediate
surrender of that fort by the British, originated
exclusively with him. In the disastrous battle of
Camden he was present in the fight, and was by
the side of De kalb when that brave officer fell.
In the siege of Ninety Six the Immortal Kosciusko
was his fellow soldier, and served under him for a
while. The noble conduct of the brave Pole was
the fond theme of his admiration and praise
through life. Entering the army at the com-
mencement of the Revolution, he continued in it,
engaged in active service until the close of the war.
During the contest he made but one visit home.
Page 17:
He married early, had sons and daughters, the
most of whom he lived to see begirt with glowing
infancy. Possessing a heart full of kindness and a
temper almost proof against anger, he was re-
spected in all the relations of life. He was born
in Frederick County, but for thirty years previous
to his death he resided in Alleghany, where he
died January 9th, 1838, aged 83 years. Also
sacred to the memory of Margaret Lamar, his wife.
She was beloved and esteemed by all who knew
her for the many virtues that adorned her char-
acter. She died universally lamented, march 17th,
1821, aged 54 years."
[From the Cumberland Civilian, January 12th. 1838]
Died on the 8th inst. Col. William Lamar, in
the 83rd year of his age. Colonel Lamar was a
native of Frederick County, and had been a resi-
dent amount us for more than thirty years. he
entered the revolutionary army shortly after the
Declaration of independence, in the 21st year of
his age. He was appointed an ensign at the age
of 21, and not long afterwards was promoted to
the rank of lieutenant, then made quarter-master
and finally promoted to the rank of Captain of
the Seventh Maryland regiment. The captain was
engage in active service from the beginning to
the close of the war, and never returned to his
Page 18:
home but once during the whole time, and the
enjoyed but a short respite from duty. He was
engaged in every important battle, fought in the
east until 1780; at Harlem Heights, White Plains,
Germantown, Monmouth, Staten island and other
places. In 1780 he marched to the South, and at
the battle of Camden was fighting by the side of
De Kalb, under whose immediate command he
was when that lamented officer was killed. With
the Southern army Col. Lamar remained an active
officer and soldier until the close of the war; was
at the battle of Guilford Court House, at Eutaw,
and assisted at the capture of Forts Mott, Granby
and Watson. The desperate charge of the Ameri-
can troops, which turned the scale of battle in their
favor, was ordered by Gen. Greene, at the instance
of Col. Lamas, whose suggestion was communi-
cated to the General through major Anderson.
At Fort Mot the Colonel also distinguished him-
self by suggesting setting fire to the fort, which
was successful, and in a few moments compelled
the garrison to surrender. The Colonel was also
engaged at the siege of Ninety-six under Gen.
Greene. He had command of the mining party,
a brother officer of Virginia was associated with
him, but was compelled to withdraw on account of
sickness. It was her the Colonel met Kosciusko,
the immortal Polander, of whom he used to
take great pleasure in relating the following anecdote.

the Colonel being left in sole command of the
mining party was anxious to procure some subal-
tern officer to assist him. Kosciusko hearing
this, immediately came forward and magnani-
mously offered to serve the Co |
