So many intriguing, unanswered (and unanswerable?) questions. … The hopeful news, however, is that this present effort of mine is the result of only a few weeks research; let us see what future opportunities may reveal. | So many intriguing, unanswered (and unanswerable?) questions. … The hopeful news, however, is that this present effort of mine is the result of only a few weeks research; let us see what future opportunities may reveal. | ||

| + | 6 Woodward, op.cit., Thomas Woodward had signed a deposition in Isle of Wight County on 10 November, 1661, in which he stated his age as “61 years”. Confusingly, however, Thomas Woodward also stated his age as “61 years” on 9 December, 1665 (ibid.). But at least we know that he was born between 1600 and 1604; that does narrow things down considerably. | ||

| + | 18 Blake Woodward, 13 November, 2007, e-mail to the author. See also the 1684 will of Katherine Woodward (widow of Thomas), which mentioned a son named “John”—despite the fact that Thomas Woodward’s known son by that name had died in England in 1665, when the post of Assay Master was reported as ‘being vacant by death of John Woodward and the absence of Thomas Woodward, his father, who if alive, is at some plantation on York River, Virginia.” (J. Gary Woodward, “Woodwards of Isle of Wight” etc., op.cit.) This 1684 will of Katherine Woodward can be read in abstract form at “Woodwards of Seventeenth Century Virginia” (op.cit.) at this web address: http://www.woodwardsof17thcenturyvirginia.info/index/VIRGINIA_(1681-) I am indebted to Blake Woodward for point out this very logical analysis of the 1684 will of Katherine Woodward and her mention of a living “son” who had in fact died some nineteen years previous. | ||

| + | 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.” … | ||
