Warwick/Worrick/Warrick Surname

The Warwick line has not been easy to trace. Over the years spelling has not been consistent, and has been spelled interchangeably as Worrick, Warrick, and Warwick. Warwick seems to be the "proper" spelling of the name, yet most of our line used the Worrick spelling. The earliest members of this line appear in Boston, Massachusetts in the early 1700's. We have not been able to find record of this family in New England before that time. They were probably English or Scottish in origin.

1st Generation:

Chasling Worrick was born circa 1690, possibly in Massachusetts. He died on April 27, 1749 in Hingham (now Cohasset), Plymouth Co., Massachusetts ¹.

Chasling's parents or origins are not known but he may have been related to John, Elizabeth, and Joseph Cannon who appear in Boston during the same time that he did. Sometime in his youth Chasling probably settled in Boston, Massachusetts, with some family. He must have traveled from Boston to Hingham though because in March 1717/8 he filed intentions to marry Hester Bates in Hingham, Mass. They were married on April 4, 1718 in Boston, Massachusetts. By his marriage to Hester, Chasling had 8 children: Susanna, Joseph, Elizabeth, Jael, George, Ann, Sarah, and Jonathan. His wife Hester died in 1739 at the age of 41.
Chasling remarried on November 22, 1739 in Hingham, Mass., to Susanna Sutton, a widow. They had 4 children together: Hezekiah, Lydia, Esther, and Jesse (see next generation). Chasling was by occupation a shoemaker and lived at Hingham, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. The part of town he lived in afterwards became the town of Cohasset in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. It is said that Chasling lived "on the Common" in what is now Cohasset. Chasling was drowned on April 27, 1749, probably near his home in Hingham, Massachusetts. His estate was appraised on May 10, 1750. The house he lived in was apparently torn down in the year 1794 and a house was rebuilt at the same location which was still standing in 1909.

Jesse was raised in what is now Cohasset, where he married Keziah Orcutt on December 26, 1771. They lived in Cohasset for the next 10 years and had 4 children there: Susanna, Samuel, Hannah (see next generation), and Sally. In Cohasset, Jesse and his family lived in King Street. It was while living in Cohasset that Jesse served in the American Revolution. Jesse served in Capt. Job Cushing's Company in Col. John Greaton's Regiment. After the war was over, the family decided to move. In 1782 the family moved out west and settled in western Massachusetts in the town of Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts, close to the border with Vermont.
In Warwick, Jesse and Keziah had 6 more children: Jesse Jr., Chloe, Betsey, Polly, Fanny, and Peter. Jesse lived in the Warwick, Mass., area for the rest of his life. It is possible that the family also lived close to or in the neighboring town of Orange. Jesse died in Warwick, Mass., on February 12, 1815, aged about 66. Jesse's wife Keziah died sometime after 1810 and probably survived him. It is possible that she remarried to a Mr. Sutton and may have moved to Vermont where she died. A burial place has not been found for either of them.
