Citing this biography: Boyd, Michelle, "Henry Woodward and Elizabeth --," article, Olive and Eliza, last accessed [current date]."
Henry Woodward arrived in the James in the summer of 1638 at
Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts. He is said to have been a physician.
He married Elizabeth --.
In 1657, he is referred to as constable. The Woodwards moved to
Northampton, Hampshire, Massachusetts in about 1658. Elizabeth,
according to Savage, “there was one of the founders of the first church
and had been an early member at Dorchester.” On 14 Nov 1659, Henry and
William Clarke were "impowered…to serch and stake out a Farme of a 1000
acres of land granted vnto the town of Dorchester for the vse of a
scoole.” He was said to have been "licensed to keep ordinary and sell
wines and liquors."
Henry died 7 Apr 1683 in Northampton, Hampshire, Massachusetts. He was
killed at the grist-mill (according to some sources, by a mill wheel,
and according to another, by lightning at the mill). Elizabeth died 3
Aug 1690 in Northampton, Hampshire, Massachusetts.
While secondary sources state that he may have been of Much Woolton,
Lancashire, England, I have seen no proof of this. I also have not seen
proof that Elizabeth's maiden name was Mather, as has been claimed.
Henry and Elizabeth’s children are:
| 1 | Freedom
Woodward, baptized in 1642 in Dorchester, Suffolk,
Massachusetts, married Jedediah Strong in 1662 (18 Nov,

1648, married Anna Dewey 18 May 1671 in Northampton,
Hampshire, Massachusetts, called "a dutiful and well carriaged son
to me all my life" by his mother, died 17 Oct 1724, buried with
Anna in the Old Cemetery, Lebanon, New London, Connecticut. Anna’s
gravestone inscription reads that she was the “first wife of John
Woodward,” implying that John perhaps had a second wife but no
other evidence of a second marriage has been found. Wife: Anna Dewey, bapt. 15 Oct 1643 in Windsor, Connecticut, the daughter of Thomas Dewey and Frances —, d. 14 Jan 1707. |

History of the Town of Dorchester, Massachusetts
P. 141: Henry Woodward came over in the ship James, Capt. Taylor, in
the summer of 1635. He was a physician. He removed to Northampton
about 1658, and was accidentally killed there by a mill wheel.
P. 186: "At a meeting of the Selectmen, 12: 4: 1657, Thos. Bird
brought a note from Henry Woodward, Constable, and demanded twenty
shillings for a wolf that his son Samuel Greenway killed within our
bounds the 5: 1: 57, which we do order that they shall be paid the
next town rate." It was a common thing to pay for several wolves
killed in one year. Anthony Fisher, Jr., received pay for three in
1665.
P. 192: The 18th of June, of this year [1661], Mr. Eleazer Mather, son
of the pastor of this church, was ordained minister of Northampton;
and Dea. Edward Clap, Mr. Peletiah Glover and Thomas Tileston were
chosen as messengers from the church to attend the ordination—a
journey of nearly as much importance as would now be one to New
Orleans, and much more dangerous. Several persons removed from this
town [Dorchester] to Northampton, and formed the church there ; among
them, William Clarke and Sarah his wife, Henry Woodward and Elizabeth
his wife, and Henry Cunliffe and his wife Susanna.
P. 434: On the 14th of November [1659], the selectmen of Dorchester
"impowered William Clarke and Henry Woodward to serch and stake out a
Farme of a 1000 acres of land granted vnto the town of Dorchester for
the vse of a scoole by the gerierall Court held at Boston the 18th of
October, 1659."

9, 1710, Jedediah Strong, and wife set out early in the morning to
visit their children, at Coventry; but when they came against the
Falls (at S. Hadley) among the broad smooth stones, the horse's feet

[A few facts gleaned concerning the early history of the Woodward,

I.
Henry Woodward was a member of the Dorchester church in 1639, and
removed to Northampton, in 1659. He came from Much Worton, Lancashire,
Eng., and was "killed by lightning at the upper corn mill," April 7,
1683. He had 4 children : 1. Experience who m. Nov. 21, 1661, Medad

He was " licensed to keep ordinary and sell wines and liquors," as
reputable then as any other business, each year for several years
successively
(1665-81), during which time he regularly " entertained the court"
which sat each year in Northampton.
