Question

Can someone with access to vol 3 of this work please look up Henry Woodhouse, who was governor of Bermuda in 1627, to see who is identified as his wife and children?

Comments

The 1956 edition is available at http://www.familysearch.org/library/books/idurl/1/47106.  On page 365 it shows the wife as unknown and two sons, Henry and Horatio.  Hopefully someone will be along with access to the current edition to determine if that info has been updated.

Answer 1

This is what Dorman says (Vol. III, pp 678-679:

On 7 Aug 1628 Capt. Henry Woodhouse purchased land in the "Summer Islands" (Bermuda).  "By deed dated 27 July 1632 he conveyed the same to his son Henry.... Henry Woodhouse of Winterton, County Norfolk, Gent left will 26 Aug 1636 - codicil 17 Feb 1636/37-11 June 1637 naming wife Judith, daughters Elizabeth, Doll, and Alice, and son Harry's daughters Betsey and Juday.  He married Judith (Manby?) Haen whose son Joost Haen was named in his will as "son-in-law."  

Dorman lists Issue:  2) Sir Michael, 3 Rev. Horatio, 4) Henry, 5) Alice, [who named mother Judith and siblings Henry, Michael, Horatio, Webb, and Jost Hane in her 1647 will], 6) Anne, 7) Dorothy, 8)Elizabeth, 9) Beatrice, 10) Lucy.

Only Henry and Elizabeth are listed with children.
