NOTES:
The critical connection of Constant Southworth as son of Edward Southworth centers on the identification of Edward Southworth of Leiden as being one and the same as the man by that name who was born in London; the latter known to be of the old Samlesbury, Lancashire line, as shown here. Thus, while this connection has been adopted by many sources, it still remains an issue under debate, without absolute proof.
