Walter Wordworth couldn't read or write and signed by mark. Many early documents used the surname Woodward. Since Walter couldn't read the documents, such as his will, he signed, probably without realizing his surname was incorrect. Later descendants started using the correct name Woodworth.

I found this in one of the books I read about their history, but unfortunately I don't have the source at hand.

Yes, DNA has shown that the Woodward and Walter Woodworth lines are not genetically related.
