Mar. 1662. But the former, if there were two, was liv. in 1676, when
he made convey. to his gr.s. George Pierce, whose f. had m. his d. Mary.
Sometimes his name appears Woody, sometimes Wooddus. ROBERT,
Boston, had Joseph, b. 1641, wh. may have been error of Farmer's
informer of the s. of Richard, bef. ment. and Nathniel, b. 1642.

    WOODHULL, WOODHILL or WODHULL, sometimes WOODHALL,
RICHARD, Brookhaven, says Wood's L. I. but the Conn. governm. in
1659 and foll. yrs. call. his resid. Setauket, wh. is nearly opposite to
Milford on the continent. He was rep. 1664, and had a commissn. from

the custom-ho. officers knew more of Hercules than of the other name,
tho. both are equal. heathenish, but prob. the sound was not unlike.
He was b. 1618; but how entit. mercer, when only a minor, provokes

and came in that ship, but it was undesirable to give his name and
excite suspic. that he was not authoriz. under the odious orders of the
counc. to come to our counry. Mr. Coffin wh. says his w. Elizabeth d. 17
Dec. 1677, gives no ch. He was made freem. 17 May 1637, was lieut.
