The Worthington Family Crest
These arms-those of the Worthingtons of Worthington, county Lancaster, England, and of various other branches of the same family-are borne in New England by the descendants of Nicolas Worthington, first of Saybrook (1650), later of Hartford, Ct. He died in Massachusetts in 1683. His descendants possess plate with very old hallmarks bearing the same devices. The Worthingtons of Maryland claim descent from the same Lancashire family, but not through the above-named Nicolas.
