• Notes

  Samuel settled in Pennsylvania with his brothers, James and William. He and James moved on to Orange County, Virginia (now Jefferson County, West Virginia) around 1740. They were members of the Hopewell Friends Church in Frederick County, Virginia. Mary's children by her first marriage were made wards of Samuel in 1740. He treated Robert Worthington, Jr. harshly and bound him out to a severe master. As a result, the boy ran away to Philadelphia where he worked until he was 18, returning to the valley in 1748 to receive his patrimony. Samuel and Mary lived in Jefferson County, probably on property left by Robert Worthington, Sr. Samuel signed a number of deeds when Bobby Dunblaen Worthington sold his property over the years. No date has been found of Samuel's death. Mary died in 1794. Samuel served in the Revolutionary War, and Mary received seven pounds for her support and that of her two children for the year 1778 in Berkeley County, Virginia. She also received as the administrator of Samuel's estate, one hundred acres in Ohio for his service.
