I have a Henry Woodward who married Mary Townsend dob 10-16-1713 (My 2nd cousin, 8 times removed) on May 20th 1731 at the Birmingham monthly meeting. I have his father as Richard Woodward, mother possibly Mary? but this is unsubstantiated. Mary Townsend's parents were Joseph Townsend and Martha Esther Wooderson who came to Pennsylvania in 1712 from England “bringing a certificate from the Monthly Meeting of Friends Holden at Newbury in Berkshire in Old England the 13th day of 11th month (January) 1711/2”; the certificate was presented at Abington Monthly Meeting 27 8 m (October) 1712; their certificate from there to Concord Monthly Meeting was presented 11 2nd month (April) 1715. and from there to Chester “they now being settled there” was issued 5 5th month(July) 1720, and a certificate back noted on 3 11th month (January) 1725. Can anyone tell me if this Richard Woodward and Henry Woodward part of the Woodward Family which is being discussed in this email thread?
