Book Description
Excerpt from Descendants of Walter Woodworth of Scituate, Mass. Walter woodworth probably came from Kent. England. There is no absolute proof of this statement. But it may be reasonably inferred from the well-authenticated fact. As stated in Dean's History of Scituate. That Scituate was settled by men of Kent. The religions nature, which in a. Marked manner has characterized his descendants. May be accounted for by the probability that for ages the woodworth family had breathed the religious atmosphere of Canterbury Cathedral. Where perhaps an early an cestor had listened to the preaching of St. Augustine and received into fruitful soil the first seeds of Christianity. Which in later years became dis ciplined and strengthened by the austerity of Thomas a Becket. It is a noticeable fact. However, that the great majority of walter's descend ants are Dissenters. And, among a considerable number of clergymen. None are Episcopalians. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
