| Notes for Rev. John WOODBRIDGE | ||||||||||
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - son of Rev. John WOODBRIDGE and Sarah PARKER - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JOHN, Newbury, s. of Rev. John of Stanton in the N. E. part of Wiltsh. b. 16l3, had been bred at Oxford, Mather says, but on the requirem. of the o. of uniformity, he left the Univers. for "a course of more private studies," and was brot. by his uncle, Rev. Thomas Parker, whose living was at Newbury in the neighborhood, in comp. with his cous. Rev. James Noyes, 1634, in the Mary and John, was one of the first planters of our Newbury, but he seems to have little tendency to preach, as in 1637, the yr. when his f. d. in England. (for by the Registry of Diocese I obs. that a successor was then appoint. to the vacancy) he was made "surveyor of the arms," and rep. to the Gen. Ct. He not long aft. taught a sch. in Boston, when Portmorth had gone, in the religious schism, to Exeter, and he is even claim. as a mem. of ar. co. 1644, and m. a. 1639, Mercy, d. of Gov. Thomas Dudley, and was liv. at N. when his f.-in-law, in Nov. 1642, stir. him up to seek. advancem. as a min. and on 24 Oct. 1645 he was ord. not 16 Sept. 1644, wh. is Mather's date (more than a yr. bef. the ch. was gather.), as first min. at the new town of Andover. More trustworthy, however, is the tale, that he went, in 1647, "on the invitat. of his friends" to England. once more. exc. in this last circumstance; tho. why friends should withdraw him, in less than two yrs. from his first settlem. in the pulpit here, is not easi. explain. Sixteen yrs. contin. in England. first having employ. in the serv. of the able men of that Parliam. commiss. for treating with the king in his prison at the Isle of Wight bef. the overthrow of Parliam. authority by the soldiers wh. adopt. the more summary mode of negotiat. for remodel. the old constitution of their country. Here, prob. he was fix. in the presbyter. views of ch. governm. in opposit. to the levellers and Cromwellians, and was employ. aft. as min. at Andover, in Hampsh. and a less import. parish in Wilts, finally at a sch. in Newbury, whence, Mather says, the Bartholomew Act exclud. him. In 1663, July 27, he reach. Boston in the ship Society, and in two yrs. was engag. as asssist. in the min. of his unlce Parker. In this honorble duty, aft. two or three yrs. a sad controv. distract. the quiet of the ch. and he was dismiss. some time bef. 1670, tho. Parker remain. in the tempestuous sea to his d. in 1677. Of his ch. Coffin names Sarah, Lucy, John, Thomas, Mary, Benjamin, Timothy, Dorothy, Ann, Joseph, Martha, but tradit. in Mather gives ano. without name, and says eleven liv. to adult age. Aft. retiring from the ministry, the notice in Geneal. Reg. VI. 279, proceeds,"he was immediately chos. into the magistr." but it was not until 1683, and Mather left him out of the Counc. in his new chart. of 1691, as prob. too old. His w. d. 1 July 1691, and he d. 17 Mar. 1695. [ref 20] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Woodbridge, Rev. John, m. Merey[sic] Dudley (Gov. Thos.) who d. 1 July 1691, had 11 Chdn., 3 clergymen [ref 17:845] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1697, April 6. Deed. John Woodbridge to John Chaplin, tailor, both of Woodbridge, for 60 acres at the "Penny Ordinary," adjoining Rehoboth Gannett, and along the path to Langstaff's farm or plain, (freq. appearing in the records as "Langstar's plain.) [ref 49:518] Rev. John Woodbridge returned to England in 1647, was driven out by religious dissensions in 1662, and returned to New England. He became an assistant to his uncle, Rev. Thomas Parker at Newbury, Mass., Nov. 21, 1670, in further consequence of church dissensions, but, somewhere along the line, and prior to his death, he must, naturally and convincingly, have been the prominent citizen and, at least, honorary founder of the town of Woodbridge. He was a militant preacher usually in differences with both authority and congregation, and his peripatetic ministrations, in line with his wandering from post to post, further support this theory and statement of actual settlement, if only temporarily and intermittent, certainly 1670, at Woodbridge.

Colonists who settled here first allotted land for the church as well as for the minister's house and for a burying ground. Level ground was then set aside for a common where flocks and herds could be pastured and guarded. Then, near the meeting house, home lots of from four to ten acres each were allotted. Proportionate amounts of meadow, tillage and woodlands in more remote areas of the township were awarded depending upon the settler's wealth and position. Indentured servants, who were numerous, had no share in the communal arrangements. The first buildings were wooden huts with thatched roofs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||
