Addionally, Boddie mentioned this Thomas Woodward as official surveyor of Carolina Colony in his Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight, page 127:<blockquote> Thomas Woodward, clerk of Isle of Wight County from 1652 to 1662, and heretofore mentioned as a fiery Royalist, was the surveyor for Governor Berkeley’s grants to these first colonists. The colony consisted of twenty-seven families and 447 servants. Woodward obtained three large grants for himself and his family. The total number of acres patented were approximately 29,000 and out of this Woodward surveyed 5,250 acres for himself, so he must have had faith in the colony.  While in Carolina Woodward served as secretary for the colony, member of the Governor’s Council, and together with Governor Drummond, was Commissioner to treat with Maryland and Virginia for a cessation of tobacco planting.</blockquote>

3 Boddie (op.cit., page 108): ''“Thomas Woodward, Assay Master of the Mint, had also fled from England to Isle of Wight County about 1649. His story is told in a petition of his son John to Charles II, upon his restoration, as follows: ‘November 1661, Petition of John, son of Thomas Woodward, to the king: to be put into possession of the house and office of Assay Master of the Mint, held by his father until the late troubles, when John Bradshaw, the so-called President of the Council of State, on the 23rd of October, 1649, dismissed him for refusing obedience to the usurper’s power and put in Samuel Bartlett. On this his father repaired to Virginia with a public declaration never to see England again till His Majesty’s return; is forthwith sending him the joyful news, and wishes to keep the office until his [father’s] return, or if he be dead, to have a grant of it himself.” …''

6 As J. Gary Woodward writes, "The will of Thomas Woodward was dated October 5, 1677 and proven October 9, 1677, in Isle of Wight Co., Virginia. He named his wife-Katherine; daughters-Katherine, Elizabeth, Mary, Rachel, and Philarite; sons- Thomas and John; and provided: 'if my Sonn John hath left any Children in England I do give them Two full pounds apiece.' [Will Book No.2, 1666-1719, p.165] & [Blanche Adams Chapman. ''Wills and Administrations of Isle of Wight Co., Virginia, 1647-1800.'' p.17]".  (In "Woodwards of Isle of Wight County, Virginia", op.cit.)

+
 
+
8 John Bennett Boddie: ''Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight'', "The Coming of the Cavaliers", page 107, which states (in part):
+
 
+
''"Sir Philip Honeywood had some relatives then living in Isle of Wight County. They were Thomas Woodward, formerly Assay Master of the Mint to Charles I, and Colonel Nathaniel Bacon. Colonel Bacon was the son of the Reverend James Bacon and Martha Woodward, and a grandson of Elizabeth Honeywood who lived to be ninety-two years of age and was noted for her charitable bequests. ..."''
+
 
+
Though Boddie never directly stated as much (to my knowledge), he apparently based this belief in the following marriage contract involving both Bacon and Woodward:
+
 
+
''"Major George Fawdon, Burgess from Isle of Wight in 1653, married a step-daughter of Colonel Bacon's. Major Fawdon deeded 1,500 acres of land to "Mistress Ann Smith", whom he intended to make his wife, October 30, 1654. After the marriage ceremony, he and his wife Ann, made an agreement in which they obligated themselves never to alienate the land "without the consent and approbation of our father-in-law, Nathaniel Bacon, and our mother Ann, his wife, with our brother William Smith." One of the witnesses to this agreement was Thomas Woodward. ..." '' [op.cit., page 108]
+
 
+
Now, I agree that simply witnessing a contract (even a marriage contract) does not automatically make one a relation!  Boddie's belief aside, then, other evidence to support the idea that Woodward was related to Bacon and Honywood must be sought after.
+
 
+
Boddie mentioned several references for these Woodwards: a Woodward pedigree in Familiae Minorum Gentium, IV, page 1300, Keith’s Ancestry of Benjamin Harrison, and [Tyler’s?] Quarterly, II, page 216 et seq.

13 Much later, in Virginia, a member of the House of Burgesses (one James Pyland) was actually expelled (by the by-then Puritan-dominated body) for aiding and “abetting Thomas Woodward” in his “mutinous and rebellious declaration” against Parliament. (Boddie, op.cit., page 108.)  If Thomas Woodward had the same attitude toward the Puritans in the 1640s that he later did in the 1650s and 60s, then it is no wonder he was dismissed from his post as Assay-Master by the Puritan-controlled Parliament.
