Little information has been found on Margaret Lawrence, wife of Nathaniel Woodward. Her origins are unknown, but it is estimated that she was born about 1589 in England. She was living on 18 July 1661, when she signed a deed in Boston, Massachusetts, however her date and place of death are also unknown.
The Rushden, Northhamptonshire, parish registers provide a marriage record:[1]
Seven children were baptised in Rushden, and an addition four were baptized at nearby Puddington (now Podington), Bedfordshire. Nathaniel and Margaret and their family were in Massachusetts by 1637. [1]
The last land record found for Nathaniel and Margaret is on 18 July 1661, when "Nathaniell Woodward of Boston in New Engld in the County of Suffolke Carpenter and Margaret his wife" sold to John Marion for £100 the remainder of their holdings, land and house and orchards, listed in the Book of Possessions.[1][2][3]
