    Edward Bosworth, the immigrant ancestor, left England for America in the spring of 1634, with his wife Mary; son, Benjamin, born 1615; daughter, Mary, with her husband, William Buckland; and younger son, Nathaniel, born September 4, 1617. They came in the ship "Elizabeth and Dorcas", Captain Watts, commander, and sailed from Gravesend. Many of the passengers died during the passage, and "Edward Bosworth, the father, being ready to dye, asked to be carried upon deck that he might see Canaan. When he had seen the land he resigned his soul and dyed; was carried ashore and buried at Boston." ("Diary of Samuel Sewall", vol. 3, p. 396, and "History of New England", by John Winthrop, vol. 1, p. 161).
