Wentworth family

The members of the Wentworth family of both the U.S. and Australia, as listed below, are descended from Thomas Wentworth 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. The Wentworth branch of Virginia and Maryland, and the Australian Wentworths, are descended from another son Roger. 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.
