He was living there as early as 1654, probablyfor some years previous...He came from Roxbury where he owned realestate. He was admitted a freeman there in 1673. He also had a grantof land in May, 1662, for a small house near the church atRehoboth..for the Lord's Day." His property was a garrison in KingPhillip's war. One of his sons, Nathaniel, was killed by attackingIndians, and later buried there. There is quite a bit on this inDaggett's History of Attleboro, 1834. John Woodcock distributed nearlyall of his real estate holdings between his sons John, Israel,Jonathan and Thomas before his decease.
