Peter Worden, b. 1609., d. between Jan 9, 1680, date of will, and Mar 3, 1681, date of proving, m. Mary Sears, or Winslow, b. 1610; is repeatedly named as juror; from 1643 to 1648 was prominent in all public affairs. He sold twelve acres of land in the West Field to Robert Dennis before 1648. In 1651 was appointed on the Grand jury and was fined for not serving.
He was opposed to the prevailing order of things and in 1667 was fined for creating a disturbance in the meeting house on the Lord's day, which consisted in speaking his mind audibly about theological matters.
Will of Mary Worden, widow, of Yarmouth: "that there may be no difference amoungst my children... my sd Children also having manifested their willingness and Consent unto me to dispose or bequeth what should be left of my worldly goods or estate at my decease as I should see couse as per Articles of agreement in writinf Indented bearing ddate of the Second of may Anno Dom 1681 doeth and may appeare I ... declare this ... my last will."
All wearing apparall to be equally divided between her three daughters Mary Burge, Mercy Winslow, and Martha Seaverns; John Burge; "excepting my Indian squaw servant which I will bequeath to my Son Samuel Worden." Will dated 6 March 1686, signed by her mark; proved 31 May 1687, witnesses Samuel Sears, Silas Sears and Gov. Thomas Hinckley.
Peter Worden and his wife and daughter Mercy Winslow are burried in the east end of old Yarmouth. It is sometimes called the Winslow graveyard because the latter family, having intermarried and residing near, have kept the grounds in good condition. (See Brewster, Mass. Rec.)
