EDWARD SOUTHWORTH and wife, ALICE CARPENTER (Immigrant
1623)
Edward Southworth,
born 1590 in (Salmesbury) England, and Alice Carpenter born 1591 in Wrington,
England and died 27 March 1670 in Plymouth. They married in May 28, 1613
in Leyden Holland. Alice was the daughter of Alexander Carpenter, a prominent
member of the Separatist movement (United Brethren) - separating from the
Church of England. Edward did not come to America; he died in 1620 in
England, having been married a mere 7 years. It has been mentioned
that the branch of Southworths from which Edward descended died young
typically. He died at 30. His siblings averaged 33 years of life.
Edward was born a "gentleman" at Samlesbury, but he was the
7th son, the youngest son, and had to work for his living. He was a "say
weaver" who did not earn a lot of money and he was a Protestant. The
Pilgrims treated Edward as being of a higher social standing, or "well-to-do".

Edward and Alice had two sons, Constant and Thomas. The
widowed Alice Carpenter Southworth journeyed on the Ship Anne, arriving 1623 to
