; Edward Southworth was born circa 1590 in England to Thomas Southworth and Rosamond Lister. His grandfather, Sir John Southworth and his parents, Thomas Southworth and Rosamond Lister were living in London when he was born (Weis, 127-28; Weis in Ancestral Roots . . . ). He died about 1621 at London, county Middlesex; his wife was a widow in July 1623 (Tracy Crocker, MagnaCharta). Edward Southworth of Sturton le Steeple, silk worker. He married Alice Carpenter who was born Dec 1593 of Wrington, Someset, England. They were married May 28, 1613 in Leyden, Holland. He was shown on the rolls of a congregation of Puritans at Leyden, Holland during a period 1610 to 1622. His future wife Alice was a witness at sister Julia Ann's wedding on 23 July 1612. The widowed Alice Carpenter Southworth, went to Plymouth aboard the Anne in July 1623, her two sons following after 1627. (NEHGR, XIV, 1860, 195). Alice thus survived Edward Southworth and died 29 March 1670 in Plymouth, Massachusetts as the wife of Governor William Bradford.
Edward Southworth is listed as number seven of seven sons of Thomas Southworth and Rosamond Lister. His brother Thomas Southworth had a residence in Leyden, Holland in 1613 (Melton/Sharp).
COMMENTARY BY THIS SUBMITTER: The birth place of Edward Southworth is under challenge. A Magna Charta site (http://www. magnacharta.com, Tracy Crocker 2007) states he was born about 1590 at London, England in county Middlesex. A book by Walter Lee Sheppards (see sources) is probably the source. An earlier Magna Charta application also had him born in London. The family of Edward Southworth on the Melton/Sharp web page asserts, "In 1602, Edward and his brothers, including Thomas, were still in the neighborhood of Samlesbury, all listed as foreign burgesses with their father in the Preston (Lancashire) Guild Roll of that year. They were all mentioned by their grandfather, Sir John Southworth, in his will dated September 17, 1593. Sir John died November 3 the same year." The Tracy Crocker data on Magna Charta.com states Edward Southworth of Sturton Le Steeple was a silk worker (citing a letter from Robert Cushman to Edward Southworth at Heneage House, London, 17 August 1620 (Bradford's history of Plymouth Plntation, Boston, 1901, p. 86).
COMMENTARY: Sturton Le Steeple is far east of Liverpool past Sheffield in the middle of England. Edward Southworth as a "foreign burgess" in a guild registered in county Lancaster traveled from north England to London and over to Holland, then back. He would have been more than a "silk worker." A 1982 unabridged dictionary defines a Burgess as a citizen of a town or borough, or (2) in England, a representative or a borough, corporate town, or university in the British parliament. This explain a 1602 connection in both county Lancaster (Lancashire) and London, as the Southworths would have needed living accomodations in London. His ancestral background suggests a person of affluence and influence.
Edward Southworth was born circa 1590 at London, county Middlesex, England to Thomas Southworth and Edmund Lister. He died about 1621 as his wife was a widow in July 1623 (Tracy Crocker, MagnaCharta). Edward Southworth of Sturton le Steeple, silk worker. His death is identified as ca. 1621 from a "letter of Robert Cushman to Edward Southworth at Heneage House, London, 17 August, 1620, in Bradford's "History of Plimouth Plantation, Boston, 1901, page 86."

James I acquired rule in 1603 upon the death of his cousin Elizabeth, reigning to his death 1625. He was first and remained James VI, King of Scotland, but did not spend much time in Scotland after succeeding to the throne in England. James suffered chronic illness, wrote poetry, ailments caused facial deformity, could not get along with Parliament so could not raise money for war. He died in bed (unlike Stuart precessors), but England had peace (Murray, 85-89).
