Per Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . . 8th Ed." (9:40) & 170A:39), he had become a protestant by 1584, for which reason his father, SIR JOHN, a moderate Catholic, threatened to disenherit him. He was living in London in 1584. In 1594 both he and his father had returned to Samelsbury.

From WikiTree:
Thomas Southworth, son of Sir John de Southworth, Knight and Mary (Assheton) Gouland, was born and christened in 1548 in Samlesbury, Lancashire, England
Thomas married Rosamond Lister about 1582.
Sir Thomas Southworth, Knight, died on 30 Nov 1616 in Grays Inn, London, Middlesex, England at age 68.
Rosamond Lister, wife of Sir Thomas Southworth, daughter of William Lister and Ann Mydhope, was born in 1567 in Thornton, Yorkshire, England, and died in 1592 in Samlesbury, Lancashire, England, at age 25.
Sir Thomas Southworth was the first in the family to become a Protestant in 1585. When he inherited his father's estate it was heavily loaded with debts, legal costs and fines placed upon it by Elizabeth I, Queen of England. Thomas and Rosamond lived in London, 1584-1594.
Thomas, and his wife, Rosamond Lister, had seven sons and four daughters, who were living in 1595 when their grandfather made his will mentioning them. Two of these children were Thomas and Edward who were in Leiden, Holland in 1613 where many Protestants were gathering because Holland allowed freedom of religion while England required unyielding allegiance to the Church of England. Thomas Southworth, Esq. remained in Holland while others of the family came to America. It is suspected that he did not make the trip that he had intended to make because one of his friends sent him a letter talking about the harrowing voyage on his ship, the Speedwell, which was originally supposed to accompany the Mayflower to the new world. This original letter telling a terrifying account of its shortened trip is now in the possession of the Mayflower Society, and makes interesting reading. Thomas' brother, Edward, died early, but Edward's widow, Alice Carpenter, moved to Plymouth Colony to marry the famous William Brewster after his first wife drowned. Alice's sons, Constant and Thomas Southworth, first cousins to Thomas Southard and his brother, William, came to Plymouth a few years later and notably established themselves in history.

A year later John Harrington appears to have been mortgagee, John Southworth being in possession. In 1612 Thomas Ireland was one of the plaintiffs.
