• Notes

  Woolson-Fenno Ancestry (citation details below) gives her as "probably a daughter of John and Miriam (Gordon) Worth of Nantucket," presumably meaning John Worth and Miriam Gardner. We have found no evidence that this couple had a daughter named Lydia. Further, Joseph Armstrong's brother John married an Ann Worth just under two years earlier, and James and Elizabeth Worth of Boston had daughters named Ann and Lydia who were of entirely appropriate age to marry two of the Armstrong brothers.
