FAMILIES OF THE


WOODBURY.


BY C. K. WOODBURY.


I. 1. John Woodbury came from Somersetshire, England, in 1624, and with several others, had charge of the settle- ment at Cape Ann, made by the Dorchester company. In 1626, the settlement meeting with little success, was removed to Salem, where, under the direction of the Massachusetts Bay company, it formed the nucleus of the Massachusetts colony. John Woodbury, in 1627, went back to England as agent for the company, and after remaining there six months returned to this country, bringing with him his son Humphrey, and probably his brother William.


These two brothers were, according to tradition, the first settlers in what is now Beverly, and built their houses near Woodbury's point. John and his wife were among the original members of the Salem church. He was appointed constable in 1631, and twice represented the town in general court. Until his death, in 1642, he held office as one of the selectmen and surveyors of Salem, and in this capacity his name occurs over one hundred times on the record.


In 1635 the town granted him two hundred acres of land near the head of Bass river, in the parish of upper Beverly, which homestead is still in the possession of descendants of the same, with no other title than the original grant. John Woodbury died in the early part of 1642 ; his wife outlived him some thirty years. He was married twice, and by his first wife had :
