Biography

John Woody II was born 23 January 1687/88 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, the son of John Woody and Mary Winchester.

He married Mary Unknown who was born the same year he was.

His line could have ended here, or it could have passed on to John III. There is no proof of either.

John Woodde's will mentions "brother-in-law John Winchester of Muddy River." Since none of John's sisters marrieda Winchester (and there were no step-relationships) it indicates he married a Winchester. His son John's birth: shows he was born to John and "Mary" Wooddee, which would mean his wife was Mary Winchester.
