Wentworth family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The members of the Wentworth family of both the U.S. and Australia, as listed below, are descended from Thomas Wentworth[clarification needed] and Jane, the daughter of Sir Oliver Mirfield. Sir Oliver died about 1522. The American Wentworths of New Hampshire are descended from Thomas' son Oliver.[1][2] The Wentworth branch of Virginia and Maryland, and the Australian Wentworths, are descended from another son Roger.[3][4] The Wentworth family, along with the Arden family, the Berkeley family, the Swinton family, and the Grindlay family, is descended in the male line from pre-Norman Conquest Anglo-Saxon roots.[5][6][7][8]
