2. EDWARD and family came same year (as above) ; was one of the fifteen (out of ninety-one grantees of Newbury) who bore the title of " Mr." He was doubtless the common aneestor of all the San- bornton Woodmans, and we have this additional record, in pamphlet list, of his descendants (1855) : "Ile was a man of influence, decision, and energy, and opposed with great zeal the attempt made by the Rev. Thomas Parker to change the mode of church government (in Newbury) from the Congregational to something like the Presbyterian, 1669 and onward (see History of Newbury). He was deputy to the General Court in 1636, 1637, 1639, and 1643 ; during several years was one of the three commissioners, ' to end small causes,' in New- bury, and at various times held other otlices of protit and trust in town and State. Among other commissions, he had one from the State . to see people marry,' of which, in 1681, he thus speaks : ' An unprofit- able cominission. I quickly laid aside the worke, which has cost me many a bottle of sacke and liquor, where friends and acquaintances have been concerned.'" He and his wife, Joanna, were living in Feb., 1687-88. She was then 71, hence b. 1613. He d. prior to 1094 ; age not known. His two oldest children were :
3. EDWARD, Jr. [5], b. 1628 ; came to this country, with his father, when a little boy, as did also
4. JOUN [60], the supposed ancestor of the Woodmans in the east part of Sanbornton. We separate these two brothers, for convenience' sake, into two branches :

16. ELIZABETH ( Betsey), b. May 29, 1744; m. John Emery, 3d, Oct. 1, 1767; lived in Haverhill. Mass.
17. REBECCA, b. July 10, 1746; m. Josiah Emery, of this town (see p. 209 [8]).
18. JOSEPH [19], b. Aug. 22 (Sept. 4), 1748 (besides one other daughter, who m. - Bartlett).
19. JOSEPH5 [18] (Jolin4, Edward3, Edward, Jr.2, Edward'), was educated at Nassau Hall, New Jersey, and received the honors of that institution in 1766 ; m. Mrs. Esther (Whittemore ) Hall, March 8, 1771, who was the widow of Jeremiah Hall, and the dau. of Rev. Aaron Whittemore, first Congregational minister of Pembroke, b. Aug. 13, 1752, her first husband having d. very soon after marriage. llc. was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church and minister of the town, Nov. 13, 1771, the church being the same day organized, and continued in that relation for thirty-five years, though compelled to suspend his labors most of the time for the last two or three years ou account of ill-health. He was dismissed Nov. 13, 1806, and d, in town, Sept. 28, 1807, ae. 59-1.
" The sweet remembrance of the just Shall flourish when they sleep iu dust."
She, as his " virtuous and amiable consort," had " cheerfully resigned her departing spirit into the hands of Jesus," July 12, 1803, in her 51st year. "Beloved in life, lamented in death."
(For the acts and proceedings of the town relative to the settlement of Mr. Woodman, see General History, Vol. I.) It seems that the frame of his house was not erected, with the town's assistance, till the spring after his ordinatiou, and that the house was not completed till the autumn following. In the menn time he had negotiated with Esq. Harper to exchange the 1st Division lot, which fell to him as first minister of the town (No. 76, being rough and undesirable), for por- tions of Nos. 75 and 14, near the dividing line of which the house was erected in 1772, which was to bear his honored name for more than one hundred years. He had lived, meanwhile, on first coming to town, at the Ely place, now J. P. Lane's, in Tilton. His 2d Div. lot, No. 11, was retained, and near its southwest corner he built the Wood- man upper house, for renting (see Lots). It is traditionally reported that he went out, " early in the Revolutionary war, as chaplain, ou a short expedition, with soldiers from Sanbornton and vicinity." This, if authentic, was probably for the Bennington campaign in 1777. From Rev. Dr. Bodwell's Church Centennial Address, we quote as follows : -
853
GENEALOGIES. - WOODMAN.
"He was a man of commanding personal appearance and dignified bearing, and for talent and education took rank with the foremost ministers of New Hampshire. He was of medium height, of a broad, compact frame, with large head well set ou ample shoulders, and decidedly marked features. I have heard it said by men who knew him, and who have passed away, that he had natural endowments which would have fitted him admirably for the courts of law, or the halls of legislation, if such had been his choice. The estimation in which he was held by the town may be gathered from the fact that at a special meeting, held Jan. 17, 1775, it was ' voted that the Rev. Joseph Woodman be a deputy for this town to join the deputies of the other towns in this province, at a meeting to be held at Exeter on the twenty-tifth day of this instant, to choose delegates for the Continen- tal Congress, and to choose a committee to proportion each town's part of y" charge of sending delegates.' That he was held in high respect beyond the limits of his own town, it is evident ; for we find that on the third day of June, 1802, he preached to the governor of the State (John Taylor Gilman) and his Council, with the Senate and House of Representatives, in Concord, then a pleasant village, and the discourse was published" (text, Hos. vii. 9). IIis discourse on "Christian Charity and Candor," preached on the occasion of his baptizing Mr. Levi Robinson, by immersion, Nov. 22, 1791, was also published. Children :
