Excerpt from Southworth, With Collateral Lines: Buckingham, Collier, Kirtland, Pratt, Shipman; Ancestral Record of Henry Martyn Lewis

The genealogy of the Southworth family in England has been traced by Henry Somerby, from the Herald's College, London, and runs back ten generations in that country. It is given in Winsor's History of Duxbury, but later genealogists have found errors in the records there found, and the line as here given accepts corrections made by S. G. Webber, of Boston, from reliable sources, mainly Visitations of Somerset'shire, 1673, edited by Frederic Thomas Colby, and Visitation of Lancashire, Sir Wm. Dugdale, 1664-5.

He writes: I believe all the Southworths in England and America came from Gilbert de Southworth. So far as I can learn there was only one estate in the fourteenth century named Southworth. Many families derived their surname from their estate. Every pedigree I have found of an English Southworth goes back to this Lancashire family except one, which goes back to the time of Henry VIII only. The early history of the family would, then, belong to any one of its branches until the point where the. Separation from the regular line occurred.
