Biography
Lavina was born about 1762 possibly in Southborough where her parents lived when they were married in February of 1761. In the 1830 census, there are no females of her age living in the John Woods household in Westborough. So presumably, she passed away before 1830 in Westborough where her husband died in 1838.
27 Aug 1785 Named in grandfather, Amos Newton's will: "my grandchildren, the heirs of my son Solomon Newton, late of Framingham deceased, viz Ephraim Newton, Levina Woods the wife of John Wood, Azubah, Hannah, Lucy , Solomon, and Thankfull Newton at 21"
Many people list her death as 19 Mar 1833 in Holliston. But I have found no record of that.
