From Genealogical Dictionary of The First Settlers of New England: Southworth, Constant, Plymouth, s. of Constant, or Thomas, b. 1615, was not brot. in the Ann 1623, by his wid. mo. when she came to m.

(Although this source mentions the father of Constant as Thomas or Constant, all other sources I have seen have his father as Edward including the LDS Ancestral File which cites numerous contributers.)
