    Anderson apparently found no record evidence support an arrival prior to 1639, notwithstanding statements in several secondary sources implying that he came with Rev. Mather in 1635.

    "He was called son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Tynen) Woodward of Much Woolton, co. Lancaster, England, and is said to have been baptized on March 22, 1607, in Childwall Parish of that county[1], [2], [3]. The marriage date of his parents is given[2] as May 23, 1592. Much Woolton is about five miles southeast of Liverpool. It is asserted that Henry1 had a brother John who came with him to Massachusetts, became a Quaker, was banished and sent to Rhode Island and is supposed to have gone later to Virginia.[11]" [Sources at the bottom of page 849]

    "WOODWARD / HAYWARD / ORME – Numerous sources say that Henry Woodward from Childwall Parish, Lancashire, who very likely emigrated to Massachusetts with Rev. Richard Mather in 1635, was baptized 22 March 1607. See Ernest Flagg, Genealogical Notes on the Founding of New England (1926), 210, g55; Genealogy and Family History of the State of Connecticut, ed. by William Richard Cutter, et al (1911), p. 1575; and the obituary of Ernest LeRoy Woodward, descendant of Henry1 Woodward in 'Memoirs of the Deceased Members of the … Society' in the Register 105 [July 1951]:218-19). However, the only baptismal entry for that date in the transcribed and published Registers of the Parish of Childwall, Part I, 1557-1680, (1967), is for a Henry Hayward, page 61. The baptismal date for Henry Woodward of Childwall is 4 September 1611 (according to Registers of Childwall, I, 67). He was the third son of John Woodward (not Thomas Woodward as has been stated), who was baptized 6 March 1589, an illegitimate son of Robert Woodward and Anne Orme (Registers of Childwall, I, 41). Robert Woodward, Henry's grandfather, was baptized 26 January 1568 (ibid., I, 29) and was possibly the son of William Woodward, who had married in the parish 19 September 1563 (ibid., I, 2). - Walt Woodward, 1825 Hunters Point, Westlake, OH 44145."

    Henry Woodward was a member of Dorchester Church in 1639 and perhaps in 1638. He moved to Northampton in 1659. He was killed accidently in the grist mill April 7, 1685.
