About James Haworth

James was a yeoman farmer and sheep raiser of Rockliffe Hall, Bacup, Lancashire. He was also a Quaker belonging to the Marsden Meeting. He was in the centre of the Quaker movement and was often persecuted for his beliefs.

By 1655, followers of George Fox had formed a pocket of Quaker enthusiasm around Marsden.

  • That he and Isobel were married in Pennsylvania may be a mistake, seeing as he died in England, and it was his son, George, who was called, "George, the Emigrant."

"The surname Hayworth was originally written “de Haworth,” in the Norman style. There was a Robert de Haworth in the 13th century in England. He was monk of the Cisterian Order, and in 1272 he was elected Abbot of Stanlow. There are now several variations of the name: Haworth, Howarth, Howorth and Hayworth. My mother’s branch of the Haworth/Hayworth family has been traced back to Henry Haworth, who was born about 1616 in Lancashire, England. He had three sons: James, Henry and William. James Haworth, who was born in 1642 and lived at Rockcliffe near Bacup in Lancashire, England, was my ancestor. James Haworth married Isabel and they had six children: Mary, Sarah, Susannah, an unknown daughter, James and George. George Haworth, who was my ancestor, was born in 1682 in Rockcliff, Rochdale Parish, Lancashire, England." http://erwinbagpiper.com/?page_id=567
