I am a descendant of John Worthington and I am trying to find out his father’s name that died at sea. Also his mother’s name. I have all the genealogy completed back to 1697 in Lancashire England, any information would be greatly appreciated! I have been trying to locate his parents for years, this is the first I heard of his father’s death at sea. Thank you,
Cheryle
