Biography

Mary Fordham was born at Southampton, on Long Island, 11 Mar 1690/91, the first child of Major Joseph Fordham and his wife, Mary Maltby.[1]

Mary was baptized 26 April 1691.[1]

She married Richard Woodhull, III. [Note: The Woodhull Genealogy gave Richard's wife's name as Mary Homan,[2]. rather than Fordham, but Jacobus believed that the H was probably a misreading of the double-f used to represent a capital F.[3]]

Mary Fordham Woodhull died 27 Dec 1768, a year after her husband's death. Their graves are located at the Setauket Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Setauket, Suffolk County, New York. Although older gravestones were destroyed during the American Revolution, these still stand. (Perhaps they were re-erected after the war ended?) Gravesone inscription: In Memory of Mary wife of Richard Woodhull Esq who departed this life December 27 1768 AE 74 ys[4].
