Henry Worthington was born 15 December 1815 in Copstan Magna, Warwickshire, England to Thomas Worthington and Letitia Iliffe.  Mary Ison was born 3 May 1822 at Maxstoke, Warwickshire, England to George Ison and Hannah Shaw and christened 12 May 1822 at Church End, Maxstoke. She and Henry were married 13 January 1843 at Copstan Magna.

"He (Thomas) was compelled to earn his living at a very early age and was deprived of the education we now have, although, while very young he became an engineer, operating a station engine in England. The Worthington family embraced the Gospel in England sometime in the eighteen fifties and as it was the custom with the Saints they began to send their children to America one or two at a time as their means could afford.  Grandpa was the first of the family to come to America and Utah in 1862.  At this time they were taking all the boys of the right age into the army. His mother would rather send him with the Elders to Utah than have him go in the Army. So as Elder Abraham Orme of Nephi, Utah and John Pane of Millard were coming she sent him with them. In the company there was John S. Painter, John Ingram, Elizabeth Broadhead and others. While crossing the ocean, he was stricken with malaria fever and had no one to care for him but Elder Orme. Later in years his mother and the rest of the family came. "(Taken from history of Thomas Worthington, eldest son of Henry and Mary Worthington by his granddaughter, Luella B. Ostler.)
