Parentage

Some researchers have speculated that John may be the son of John Sr.'s 2nd marriage to an unnamed spouse, because last three children are born 1636, 1637, 1640, a large gap from 1629. Robert Anderson suggests another alternative, "...it may be that the immigrant John Woodbury, on his return trip to England in late 1627 and early 1628, married a second time, to Agnes, impregnated this second wife, and returned to New England without her. She would then have come to Salem some years later and begun having children again in 1636.S1

  4.   Kew Gardens.

    link Charla Woodbury visited the archives in Kew Gardens in London immediately after I got off my airplane
    in London at 6:00 am. I found that the ships records for the HMS CROWNE still
    existed. They showed that John Woodbury, son of John Woodbury the Planter, was a
    midshipman in the British Navy and also showed what he was paid. To be a
    midshipman in 1673 meant that his family had enough money to pay for his position and
    his uniforms.
