Silversmith, moved to Hagerstown, MD in 1795 & joined his father eventually in Bedford Co, PA d 10-13-1760
b (Bancroft Woodcock d 11-16-1824, but in Mtg Yd) "purchased a number of Soldiers certificates which they had received as wages for going to war & at a much less sum than the nominal value." Wilmington MM -- 11-10-1784
Bancroft Woodcock was a silversmith in Wilmington fr 1754 until sometime after 1790 when he moved to Bedford Co, PA,
Active in public life throughout his residence in Wilmington. Because of his religion, he was not involved in the Revolutionary War, . but he did serve in a kind of Home Guard. His work for the borough was of a practical bent. He took care of the fire engines, served as regulator to set boundary stores & regulate the streets, procured drains for the ends of the streets. Woodcock was also concerned with the evils of slavery.
He was buried on his son's farm in Bedford Co. According to Elizabeth Montgomery he was a remotely (?) plain stiff looking Friend who reminded one of bone and sinews, but was nevertheless famous for his agility. Even when he was older he excelled the youths in ice skating, and he was a great walker, once a month walking 17 miles to attend a Monthly Meeting. He was very thin and seemed to grow thinner each year, so that his friends said he would never die, but would finally evaporate. -- Hinds, Rothman, Del Silversmiths 1700-1850, pp 302-304.
