Robert Bell and Lucy Zell Woodworth : Antecedents and Progeny, Facts and Anecdotes Robert Bell and Lucy Zell Woodworth : Antecedents and Progeny, Facts and Anecdotes Woodworth, John Bell HÍT^ FOREWORD People will not look forward to Posterity, who never look backward to Their Ancestry - Edmund Burke. I have reached the age when I sympathize more fully than ever with the writer of Ecclesiastes when he says, "There is no man that hath power over the spirit, to retain the spirit, neither hath he power over the day of death. All things r:ome alike to all; there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked. For to him that is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion." In this vein, I feel compelled to gather together in an orderly fashion such information about our family as I can glean from recollection; from those living who know somewhat; from books that may fall under my scrutiny; but mainly from the voluminous notes of my beloved, scholarly, precise father, Dr. Robert Bell Woodworth, who could have done this job so much better than I. I remember once chiding "Dad", when he was spending so much time on other .peoples' genealogies, to "Leave hoary old myths and interminable genealogies alone." It is with reluctance, therefore, that I assume this task, but feel that I would like to honor the memory of those who have gone on before, who were like as we are, some good, some bad, none perfect I am sure, but each in his own time had joys, sorrows, pain, pleasure, successes and failures. To my sons, and any others who may care, I would like to present these ancestors as more than names and dates only, insofar as I am able to do so. Stephen Vincent Benet said, "There were human beings aboard the Mayflower, not merely ancestors." Some of what is written will be confused and inaccurate, because of the lack of accurate information and the forgetfulness of time. Would that I had been interested in my youth when I could have asked questions which no one can answer now. I apologize, also, for those errors that may inadvertently and unintentionally creep in. My sincere and loving apologies if I have offended anyone by what I have said or what I have not said about anybody mentioned in this History. I could have said more in many cases, but mere words are inadequate to completely describe anyone - each one of us in his entirety is in the sight of God, his fellow man and unto himself alone, a separate and distinct being and is unique. Hopefully you readers will agree that, by and large, these people were good people and in the main, died in faith, looking for a city, that hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. This is not meant to be a complete genealogy of all descendants. I will try only to go back as far as I have information, presenting the children of each ancestor, where available, so that others may more easily tie into the line. Colton says: "The inheritance of a distinguished and noble name is a proud inheritance to him who lives worthily of it." But Overbury warns: "The man who has nothing to boast of, but his illus­ trious ancestry, is like the potato - the best part is under the ground." Prov, 22:1 admonishes us that: "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." My sincere appreciation goes to my wife for her patience in putting up with me and the clutter and to my brother-in-law, Jonathan, for proof-reading. I would urge and hope that additional information will be added by you readers when it becomes available to you and sent to me as long as I may live. The chart in the back of this History goes down the alphabet for each previous generation. The father's number is double the number of the child less 1. The mother's number is double the child's number. Each Ancestor's number on the chart refers to that ancestor's alphabetical number in the text.

That by the merest chance You're one instead of two? At all the many factors That have guided the human race, To put uniquely you In this peculiar time and place? That the odds against your being Were a billion to one or more, Considering life's tenuous thread Passed down from them of yore? That what you are or hope to be Is partly determined by your family tree? "Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny," By the scientists we are told. Or one is the sum of all his ancestors Both those recent and of old. They mean that the individual Is the mirror of the race In its rise from slimy creatures To the maid with lovely face. But the learned tell not all That fills the human breast, And makes of man a creature Far different from the rest. For we believe that to live and propagate Is not man's ultimate goal, But that God for His infinite glory Has given him an eternal soul. That He Who clothes the lily And sees the sparrow's fail Is aware of our every need Both spiritual and temporal. That God in His loving kindness Holds you with tender hand, And, like Mosas, Pharoah and Columbus You have a place in His plan. So, lift up your head, O Mortal, And glory in your day. For when God saw fit to create you He threw the plans away. For though the genes of the ages Are tunneled in your blood, And though the heirs of your body Become as drops in the flood. Remember this old adage Which is proven, tried and true, "That as long as the world standeth There will never be another You". J.B.W.
