Biography

Mary (Goodrich) Woodman immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).

Note: See TAG:43 p.44-5 which notes the date of birth provided by Edwin A. Goodridge in the Goodridge Genealogy are entirely unsourced estimates and are not recorded in Bury St Edmunds parish records His dates of Jan. 8, 1633 and May 18, 1684 are pure fiction. There may have been some confusion over the William Goodrich the Younger of Bury St. Edmunds who also had a daughter Mary and emigrated to Hartford & Wethersfield, Connecticut and the father of this profile, William Goodrich of (maybe) Hessett and (definitely) Woolverstone who emigrated to Watertown, Massachusetts. These two Williams are very likely first cousins, just to confuse things a little more.


Mary Goodridge, daughter of William and Margaret (Butterfield) Goodridge was baptized at Woolverston, Suffolk Co., England on August 21, 1634.[1] She came to New England with her parents, where William is first recorded at Watertown, Massachusetts Bay Colony in the second land division of February 28, 1637. [2][3] [4]

Mary married Edward Woodman Jr. at Newbury, Massachusetts on December 30, 1653. [5] [6] [4]

Edward was born in England about 1628, son of Edward Sr. and ?Joanna Woodman who came from Christian, Malford, Wiltshire in about 1635 and settled at Newbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony. [5]

Her husband Edward wrote his will on Dec. 16, 1693. In it he names:

  • beloved wife Mary
  • oldest son Edward
  • son Archeleus
  • eldest daughter Mary Emery
  • daughter Elizabeth Wolos (sic) (?Willis/Wallis)
  • daughter Rebecca Layton (sci)
  • daughter Sarah Maroll (sic)
  • Judah (sic) Woodman
  • daughter Margaret Woodman [7]

Mary likely died in/after 1694 as she is named in Edward's will dated December 16, 1693. [7]

Under Children in the Biography, No. 7, Judith was born November 10, 1667 in the original record (Essex Co. MA Births, Marriages, and Deaths, 1636-1795, Film No. 7011199, Image 326, https://familysearch.org). No.8, Edward says died 1719 but under Source Notes, Newbury Deaths, Edward died 29 July 1746. There appears to be no original record of an Edward dying in 1719.
