This listing features genealogy notes from the 1800s (there’s no date on the paper, but based on the documents it was found with — not included in this listing — I would estimate the date on this being in the third quarter of the 1800s) on John Woodbridge (from our research, we believe it to be John Woodbridge VI, who was an immigrant in 1634 — who was both a preacher and later a magistrate, originally from Stanton England). We believe the note was written by either his great great grandson or his great great great grandson, also named John Woodbridge.
It offers a unique insight into the life of one of America's earliest settlers, and is sure to be a treasured addition to any collection. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this piece of history.
All ephemera has wear commensurate to age, including, potentially: nicks, folds, smudges, rips at edges, stains, old smells, minor rips at folds , small holes, and other imperfections. Our research notes indicate our best efforts but are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. You get what you see :)
We believe the note says in part:
1) My original ancestor in this country was John Woodbridge, who was born in Stanton Wiltshire Eng in 1613. He came to N.E. in 1634. He became a preacher, and afterward, a magistrate…
2) The second John Woodbridge, above named, was the father of my great grandfather, Rev John Woodbridge of West Springfield. His son, my grandfather, was Rev John Woodbridge of South Hadley.
There are a lot of John Woodbridges mentioned here, so it is hard to track.
