  4. ↑ Source:Eaton, Lilley. Genealogical History of the Town of Reading, Mass, p. 127, conflates this John Woodward of Newton with a John Woodward of Reading, giving the resulting man three marriages, misses all children of this man, and lists only children of the Reading man. Since Rebecca Robbins did not die until 1696, and John Woodward of Reading m. 1686 Sarah Bancroft, it should have been obvious that this was wrong, but the author apparently mistranscribed Rebecca's death date.
