My connection into the Woodruff clan is via Abigail Woodruff (1770-1843) who married Ezekial Wade (1770-1843) and had daughter Mary Bunnell Wade (1793 - 1843) who married John Manley Dow who was an ancestor of my great-grandmother Mary Brooks Dow who is buried in Evergreen Cemetery. >From what I know, Abigail Woodruff was daughter of William Woodruff (1743-1811) and Mary Bonnell (1748-1836) William Woodruff was son of Abraham Woodruff (b? - 1773) and Abigail Arnett (1723 - 1779) I have no further information about Abraham Woodruff and the rest of the Woodruff clan. Can anyone help me with developing this link? curious to know what happened in 1843 that Abigail W., Ezekial W and daughter Mary all died in 1843. was there some epidemic that year in Northern NJ? thanks Wade Barton Lewis III (still trying to find out where the Barton came from also!
