authority. WILLIAM, Dedham, perhaps s. of Peter the first, was
a "min. of the gosp." d. at D. 26 June 1669, as by the Roxbury ch.
rec. is told, and the Diary of John Hull calls him "a young but powerful
preach." Of this name Farmer notes, that in 1834, twenty-one had
been gr. at N. E. coll. of wh. I count ten at Dartm. five at Yale, four
at Harv.

    WOODWELL, JOHN, Salem, wh. admin. 7 July 1701, on est. of his
br. Joshua, was s. of Matthew, a seaman, in 1661, when ment. of
him is first seen but later is call. brickmaker, in 1671 had w. Mary,

But Mary prob. d. young; and he had Mary, again, 26 Nov. 1677.
Elizabeth was a witness allow. to sw. to ridicul. nonsense, or impertin.
falsehood in the witchcr. trials of 1692. MATTHEW, Salem, s. of the
preced. left wid. Ann to admin. his est. 11 Apr. 1702. SAMUEL,
Salem, prob. eldest br. of the preced. by w. Thomasine, had Jonathan,
b. 5 Apr. 1693, who prob. d. soon for, from his will of 25 Nov.
1697, pro. 10 Jan. foll. we find that he left wid. Thomasine, ch. Samuel,
b. 14 Jan. 1685; Daniel, 17 Nov. 1697; and the f. d. in four days aft.
John, 2 July 1687; Gideon, 30 Jan. 1689; Joseph, 25 Sept. 1690;
Benjamin, 28 Dec. 1691; Elizabeth and David. Mr. Felt confid. assures

    WOODWORTH, BENJAMIN, Scituate, s. of Walter of the same, had
Elizabeth, Deborah, Abigail, and Robert, and d. in Philip's war[1]. HENRY,
the freem. of 10 May 1643, of wh. no diligence has discov. the resid. or
anything more. Farmer here introd. the name of Recompense Woodsworth,
on Middlesex rec. call. A. B. wh. d. 12 July 1679; but this must
be double error, prob. for Recompense Wadsworth, and certain. for the
coll. honor. In the Catal. such a surname has never yet appear. and
bef. 1680 the only instance of the bapt. name is, 1661, with Osborn;
and in the foll. generat. is attach. to a Boston Wadsworth. JOHN,
Taunton, had Nathaniel, b. 31 July 1679. JOSEPH, Scituate, s. of the
first Walter of the same, prob. youngest, m. 1669, Sarah, d. of Charles
