THE WOODBRIDGE RECORD
PREFATORY
HE W OODBRrnGES OF AtrnRICA-so far as known-are all descended from the Rev. John vVoodb1/ic(£;"e, who came to this counhy in the _year z634, and settled at Newbury, in Massachusetts.
Tlu's john vVoodbn'dg"C was the son of another Rev. John vVoodbridge, who was ,m.m"_c;ter at Stanton, near Higlzwortlz, z'n Wiltshire, England. There are traddz.on.s--seeniingly well founded-of other Rev. Woodbn'dges back of these traddz"01zs which t!ze compiler of this Record has not souglzt lo verify, finding· 7.uhat seemed to hz·m a pleasanter and a worthier work in tracz·ng out the embranclmzents of the Woodbridge faniily on this side of tlze A tlantz'c.
The Rev. John, of t!ze second generatz'on, wlzo is noted above, had a famzly of eleven children, who grew up to maturity. Of these, five were sons-the Rev. /ohn 3 being the oldest; the Rev. Benjamin next in age; Captain Thomas next: the Rev. Timothy next; and Joseph the youngest. It is wz'th the famzHes of these five sons, in the male branches, that tlzz's Record z's chz·e.fty concerned. In the female line, the marriages of Woodbridge daughters are noted, as are also the nanzes of the children of Woodbridge mothers, so far as these could be obtained,· the nanzes of grandclizldren also, in a few z'nstances, are mcnhmzcd,· but suclz mentz·on of clzzldren, or grandclzildren. not beariJZ// t!zc name of FVoodbrz'dge, z'1wariably accompam·es tlze orz'g'z'nal record of tlze motlzer's birth, marriag·e and deatlz; nor are descendants z·n tlze female lz'ne anywlzere named in tlzc clzronzde of tlze succcss1·z,e gcneratz'ons, saz 1e z'n tlze fezu cases 7-:,,/zere a ffroodbr/d,g-e daitglzter lzas intermarried witlz a cousz'n bean·ng tlze T-Voodbndg·e na1ne.
T!zz·s lz'mz'tation of tlze record lzas been sug:g·ested b_y t!ze fact tlzat full account of female descendants would cncroaelz upon tlze genealogies of otlzer famzlz"es, and tlze lz'mz'tation !zas been enforced by the g·reat difficultz·es attending tlze work.
Every indivz'dual lzead of a fmmly zs entered with a lwief pedigree ( in tlze male line) traced back to some one of the five sons of John T17oodbndge of JVewbzt1J', wlzom I have named, thus:-

To facilitate reference and to slzow at a glance to wlzich one of the five branches any partz"cular famzly ma)' belong-, t!ze names of the fi7x brothers, wizen appearing in tlze record as above, are printed in Old Engkdz.
No apology seems necessary for tlze fulle1' details which belong to tlu: mentz'on of those famzlies more immediately related to t/zat of tlze compiler.
A much wider rang-e and greater accuracy would, .I am certain, !zave been gz·ven to the work, had my brother liz1ed to finislz zi: but lze had no hope of entz'rely escaping error, or of gz·z;ing completeness to the Record,· indeed, he uniformly spoke of lzz·s labors as only prelz'mz·na1y to some fuller and zuortlzier Genealogy of the Woodbridge Famzly to be made at sonze fittiwe day.

UPON THIS
I Rev. John '\"IV oodbridge, b. d. Dec. 9, 1637. was Rector of the parish of Stanton, near Highworth in vViltshire, and a minister "so able and faithful "-says Cotton Mather, in his Magnalia-" as to obtain an high esteem among those that at all knew the im·aluable wortb of such a mi'nister."
His wife was Sarah Parker-daughter of Mr. Robert Parker, a learned English Di vine, and a daughter "who did so virtuouslJ', that her own personal character would have made her highly esteemed, if a relation to such a father had not farther added unto the lustre of her character."-Magnalia, Book .I.fl, Cliap. 5.
He died in the year 1637, leaving a widow and four children.
(The wido,Y subsequently married Mr. Thos. Bailey.) THE WOODBRIDGE RECORD.

"He was trained up," says Cotton Mather, "inthe way he should go:" was sent to Oxford when he had finished school and kept. there "until the Oath of Conformity came to be required of him ; which neithe:- his father, nor his conscience approving, he removed from thence into a course of more private, studies." In the year 1634, being then twenty-one years of age, he came to New England on the ship "Mary and John," in company with 'his uncle, the Rev. Thos. Parker; and with him, and others who accompanied him, settled at Newbury, Mass. He was town clerk of Newbury from 1634 to 1638, and was chosen "Surveyor of Armes" in 1637.
In the year 1639, he married Mercy, the daughter of Thos. Dudley, Governor of Mass. Colony.
l\lATHEli'. says, In 1643 he kept school in Boston. He, with others, negotiated the incotrectly "Ord. Sept. 16, 1644.1' Predous purchase from the Indians, of the plantations, on which the town of ministers (with possibly one Andover grew up; and he was ordained at Andover, Oct. 24, 1645; exception) had received Ep is. this being one of the earliest-if not the earliest-of the regular Ord. in Eng land. ordinations in New England.
He returned in the year 1647 to England, with his wife and family (having at that time three children); was Chaplain to the Parlia mentary Commissioners, who treated with the King at the Isle of '\Vight; and afterward minister at Andover, Hants, and Barford St. Martin (Wiltshire) until he was ejected at the Restoration.
In 1663 he was driven by the Bartholomew Act from a sch?ol he had A prev. return to England, is established at Newbury (Eng.); and in the same year returned to New mentioned by :II at her, of \Yhich there is England. He arrived July 26, having lived sixteen years in England. no other record,
6 SECOND GENERATION.
FAltfJLY OF REV IV0. 1 He was now made assistant to his uncle, the Rev. Thos. Parker, at Newbury; remaining in this office till Nov. 31, 1670, when he was dismissed in consequence of dissensions in the church.
He was "Assistant" of Mass. Colony, 1683-4, and died at Newbury, Sunday, March 17, 1695.
His wife, who was born September 27, 1~21, died July I, 1691. J no. W oodbridgc was a man of large "substance" for those days, and rn the year 1688-in the time of Gov. Andros-he was taxed in the to,,;-n of Newbury on
"4 houses 30 acres plow-land 50 acres meadow-land 40 acres pasture-land
2 horses 6 oxen 8 cows 15 young cattle 34 sheep."
His farm was north of Green st., Newbury, and his house stood on the east side of the pond, on the upper green.
Judge Sewall says in his diary, under date of March 17, 169f:
"Mr. W-- dies of a good old age-more than So ; he was a good man and a constant attendant upon God, at his Publick Worship, on the Sabbath day, tho' he himself preached not."
l'vfather in his JV/agna!ia, says of his church troubles:
"There arose at last, little differences between him and some of the people upon certain points of church-discipline, wherein his largeness, and their straitness, might perhaps better THE WOODBRIDGE RECORD.

have met in a temper; and these differences ended not, without his putting an end unto his own ministry among them; after which, the remarkable blessing of God upon his own prirnte estate, abundantly made up to him the public stipend, which he had parted withal."
And again,
"He was by nature wonderfully composed, patient and pleasant; and he was by grace much more so ; he had a great command of his passions, and could and would, and often did forgive injuries, at a rate that hardly can be imitated, * * At last, he who had been a great reader, a great scholar, a great Christian, and a pattern of goodness in all the successive stations wherein the Lord of Host, had placed him, on March r7, the day of the Christian Sabbath, after much pain, went unto his everlasting 1·est; having a fe,r minutes before it, refused a glass of offered wine, saying 'I am going where I shall have better.'"

He sailed to New England probably in the year 1639 or 1640. He studied at Harvard, and was the first graduate of Harvard University,
rn 1642. After his return to England with his brother 111 1647, he
was settled as minister at Newbury (Berks); was ejected 111 1662, but continued to preach privately. He was a member of the Savoy Con ference, and one time Chaplain to Chas. II. He received Episcopal. ordination after the Restoration, but subsequently became non-con- formist.

Dr. Calamy speaks of him as a "uniYersally accomplished person."
He never returned to New England, but died at Inglefield (Berks), No\-. 1, 1684, and was buried from the parish church of St. Nicholas, Newbury, being followed to the grave by a Yast concourse of people; but there is no record to mark the spot of his interment.

The Gentleman's Magazine for August, 1747, gives this as her epitaph: "If the remembrance of whate'er was dear Deserves the pious tribute of a tear, · Bestow it on the Dust that sleepeth near, That precious Dust, which living did comprise The Fair, the Good, the Graceful, and the Wise; Bestow a tear, nor think thy sorrow lost Another, and another, should it cost- The real worth of Virtue ne'er is known, 'Till vanished from our eyes, and gone." In the Suffolk Probate Office, Mass., is recorded the "Will of Ruth, the Widow of Rev. Dudley, late of Barbadoes, now of Boston," made Dec. 23, 1748.

Dr. Holmes, in his Autocrat, p. 279, has made the tragedy and the grave, the occasion of a pathetic episode. The antagonist of young Woodbridge in the duel-which was fought ~ith rapiers-was Henry Phillips, son of Sam'l and Hannah Gillam Phillips. With assistance of friends he escaped on board a ship in the harbor, and died within two years in "foreign parts." An altercation at cards-for they had been boon companions-is . said to have been the occasion of the meeting; though Dr. Holmes (who is talking with "the School-mistress," indeed,) says "Love killed him, I think." In consequence of the event, a law was passed "that persons killed in Duels, in the Colony, should be denied Christian burial, and should be buried transfixed with a stake."

OF If?!, T.SHJRE. I, A copy of the Will of REv. JNo. WooDBRIDGE' (Appendix AA) received from England since the early pages of this Record were printed, extends somewhat our knowledge of this family. The oldest son, REV. JNo.,' and the daughter SARAH, are not named presumably for the reason that both were provided for and established in life. A son, TIMOTHY, is named; probably the brother of Jno.,9 who is alluded to by Mather as having "d. upon the voyage." A daughter, HESTER (making sixth child), is also named in the Will, and in such terms as to warrant the inference that she subsequently mar ried. I have sought vainly for further record of either of the two last named children. The Register of Marriages and Burials in the Parish of Stanton, Fitzwarren, Wilts, has this en'try :-"JNo WooDBRIDGE Rector of this parish buryed the 9th December 1637.'' 217 THE WOODBRIDGE RECORD.

Reg.) says: "I have met with no proof that Rev. Dudley (of St. Phillips) was a son of Hon. Dudley of Barbadoes ; it is possible that be may have been a grandson." Hon. Dudley had a son Dudley, however. older than Benjamin (the victim of the duel). Mr. Dean further says : " Rev. Dudley's last wife was a daughter of Mrs. Susannah ijaggett, but I lack positive proof that her own maiden name was Haggett." 04 HON. WILLIAM. ? The Bost. Ev. Post of Nov. 6, 1769, says: •• Tuesday last died here after a tedious illness, the Hon. Wm. Woodbridge, Esquire, President of the Council of Domenica. He was a gen tleman of Fortune and greatly esteemed by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His remains were interred last Thursday under Trinity Church." The church record says : "he was 40 (sic) yrs; old." If there be no error here, he could not have been son of the Hon. Dudley who d. 1720; if, however, there may have been a clerical error of 40 for 49 (a more probable age for a man of°his dignities) the relationship in the record would be admissible.

LL the days of mine appointed time will I wait untill my changing shall come A Whom have I in Heaven but Thee and there is none upon the earth that I desire besides thee. My flesh and mine heart failetb, but God is the strength of my heart and my Portion forever. Now finding my faintness I John Woodbridge of Stanton near Ayworth cler. thought fit to cling closer to my Portion, and therefore in this my last Will and Testament settling these earthly things which the Lord hath lent me on others, ordain as _followeth :- IMPRIM IS. I desire Almighty God for his son Jesus Christ his sake to wash away all the spots and forgive all the sins of my soul wherewith it hath been stained and laden in this my mortal body, and at its departure to receive it to be with Christ Jesus through whom alone I have this boldness and hope of Everlasting Life. ITEM: I give my body to be buried in the chancel church or church yard of Stanton at the discretion of my Executrix to rest in peace until the day of Redemption of infirm creatures shall come.

Sara Woodbridge should marry after my departure that then my said wife should be content to take £20 per ann. which I do most freely allow her, having deserved much more-which she should have, if I had it, for her yearly maintenance; and the residue of all the Estate shall remain to be divided between the said two sons Tymothie and Beni amine; and at her decease the same annuity of £20 to return to 'them and so the whole to be divided between them-to be equal proportions.

LL the dayes of my appointed time will I wait till my change shall come. 0 A Lord, I have waited for thy Salvation! My hope is in God, from whom I expect my Salvation, & the Redemption of my body at the last day, though it be turned into dust. Hauing by the goodness of the Lord bin nourished all my dayes & enabled to breed up many children, & leauing a small Estate to be divided into many parcells, my desire is to deale equally with them according as I judge reasonable: on good consideration, I do by this my last Will & Testament respect them all, according to that little wch I shall leave them, & if they shall obserue my Will without contention, I hope I shall leaue the blessing of God upon their small portions, wch will be better to them than_ larger reuenues. IMPRIMIS. Whatsoeuer just debts or funeral! expences shall arise to be due before my decease, I do will & determine shall be discharged & payable from the whole Estate. ITEM: For the eighty pounds in England in my sisters hand, my will is that fifty pounds of it is heereby given and bequeathed as my daughter Sarah's portion to her flue children: to each of them tenne pounds apiece, & if it shall so happen that any of them dy without issue before the receipt of their shares, yett the whole fifty pounds shall be payd by equall portions to the surviuing: Ffor the remainder which is thirty pounds, my will is, that Mr. Henry Ditton, shall haue tenne pounds of it in case he will giue a discharge to me & mine, of all debts, dues and demands: w0h I iudge with what he hath receiued allready is answerable coscientiously to the aduenture sent by me: Ffor the twenty pounds remaining, I giue it to my daughter Anne Woodbridge, as a testimony of my acknowledgemt of her great care & dutifullnesse towards her aged parents.

ITEM: Whereas my sonne Joseph Woodbridge hath continued with me & hath bin seruiceable to our Affairs, & his other brothers have bin educated with charge so as to be fitted for such employmt whereby they haue bin capacitated to procure their Liue lyhood, & allso I promised him after he was twenty one yeeres old, besides his mainte nance, ten pounds per annu till he liued by himselfe, wth continued four yeeres,-my Will is, in consideration of the premises that my sayd sonne Joseph shall haue my dwelling house I now liue in, together with the barne & all the outhouses of all kinqs together with the land from the corner of Joshua Morses fence to runne thence in a strait line so as to comprehend all the sayd housing & two rods Southward of them&: so runne in a square Westward to the highway (wherein shall be an inlett to all the other parcells of land) as allso all the new building; provided my daughter Anne shall haue the vse of the new building or one halfe of my dwelling house I now live in at her choyce, (with vse of the well, wood yard & other necessaryes) without interruption, to be at her disposing during her naturall life & then to reuert to her brother Joseph and his heires. ITEM: I giue to my daughter Anne the vse of the old orchard during her naturall life, web shall then revert to any into whose portion it shall fall. ITEM: for my lands w 0h consist especially of one hundred & fifty acres of vpland, fifty acres of marish & meadow, & an Iland of marish & meadow I do thus, on the con ditions & provisses heereafter mentioned order & dispose of the whole, (excepting the parcell allotted to my sonne Joseph, & the dwelling house & the old orchard,) that all shall be (both vpland & meadow) as equally divided as may be, into the seuerall por tions now mentioned, that is to say: To my eldest sonne Johns children two portions :-to my second sonne Benja~in one portion; to my sonne Timothy one portion; to my sonne Joseph one portion.
