Individual:
JOHN WOODBRIDGE (b 1613-3/17/1693) was the son of an English clergyman. He was born at Stanton, England in 1613, came to North America in 1634, and was settled at Newbury, Conn. in 1635. He married MARY (MERCY) DUDLEY (1621-7/1/1691) the daughter of GOVERNOR THOMAS DUDLEY of Massachusetts, by whom he had twelve children. Only two of the children are known: Timothy and John, born at Newbury, graduated from Harvard, 1664; settled in Killingly, Conn. 1664, and removed to Wethersfield, 1679. John Woodbridge, Sr. was the sixth of that name in as many generations. That would place the original John Woodbridge as being born circa 1427. Mary (Mercy) Dudley was born in: 1621 in Northampton, England and died: 7/1/1691 in Newbury, Massachusetts). John and Mary were married in 1641. John died in Newbury, Massachusetts)
From Mrs. Mary K. Talcott, of Hartford, CT.
The compiler of the following genealogy is fully aware of its incompleteness; but as no account of this family has yet appeared in print, she hopes that these pages will supply a brief record of its earlier members until a fuller account is printed. More complete details of the families of John, Benjamin and Timothy are much desired by the compiler, and especially of the descendants of Timothy's sons, Timothy and Ashbel, and she will be much obliged by any further information
1. Rev. John2: Woodbridge was born at Stanton, near Highworth, Wilts, in 1613. His father, the Rev. John1 Woodbridge, of Stanton, who married a daughter of the Rev. Robert Parker, an eminent non-conformist author and divine, is said to have died about 1637. The son was sent to Oxford, says Cotton Mather, but on requirement of the oath of uniformity, left the university. He came to New England with his uncle, the Rev. Thomas Parker, in 1634. He settled at Newbury, Mass., where he was the first town clerk, and held the office till Nov. 19, 1638, when Edward Woodman was chosen his successor. In 1637, 1640 and 1641, he was deputy from Newbury to the General Court. The Court appointed him, in 1637, "surveyer of the armes at Newberry;" and in 1638, and again in 1641, a commissioner to hear and determine small causes in that town. In 1643 he kept school in Boston. About 1639 he married Mercy, daughter of Gov. Thomas Dudley. He was ordained minister over the church at Andover, Oct. 24, 1645. In 1647 he went to England,; where he was appointed chaplain to the Parliamentary Commissioners treating with the king at the Isle of Wight. He was afterwards minister at Andover, Hants, and Barford St. Martin's, Wilts, from which last parish he was elected at the Restoration. In 1662 he was driven from a school in Newbury, by the Bartholomew Act, and in 1663 returned to New England, reaching Boston, says Savage, in the Society, July 27th. He became assistant to his uncle Parker at Newbury, Mass., but was dismissed from that charge Nov. 21, 1670, in consequence of church dissensions.- He was an Assistant of the Massachusetts Colony in 1683 and 1684. He d. Sunday, March 17, 1694-5, at Newbury. His wife d. July 1, 1691.12 children.
