He married, October 14, 1807, Esther Smith, born June 26. 1786, died January 28, 1832. She was also a descendant of passengers on the "Welcome," being a great-great-great-granddaughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Walmsley, who came over on the "Welcome," 1682, bringing a certificate from Settle Monthly Meeting in Yorkshire. Their son Thomas Walmsley married, 1689, Mary Paxson, and their daughter Mary Walmsley married, 1720, John Worthington, of Byberry. She died April 18, 1754, and he January 14, 1777.

"John Worthington was a weaver and farmer, and spent his whole adult life on his plantation in the northern end of Byberry township. His wife, Mary (Walmsley) Worthington, died April 18, 1754. The births of their six sons and five daughters are of record on the registry of Abington monthly meeting. Five of the sons and at least three of the daughters married and reared children, and all have left numerous descendants. Three of the sons, William, Isaac and Joseph, removed in middle life to that part of Buckingham township, Bucks county, bordering on Wrightstown town ship, and many of the descendants of William and Joseph have ever since been residents of these two townships, Isaac removing later to Chester county."^[6]
