The Wentworth Family Crest
Elder William Wentworth, the emigrant, who came to Boston in 1628, is acknowledged to have descended from a younger branch of that great house of Wentworth, who received the grant of so many noble titles: Earls of Strafford, Marquesses of Rockingham, etc., etc. The direct, early ancestor of the emigrant was Thomas Wentworth, of North Elmsall, county York, who died in 1522. His greatgreatgrandson was William Wentworth of Ravendale, father of the emigrant. Historically, the family descends from William de Wentworth of Wentworth (tempo. Henry III.).
