  • Notes 

    • Edward Woodman came from Southhampton, England 3 June 1635 in the ship "James" of London, England. Edward was a wealthy and prominent man. He and his brother Archelaus came over together and settled at Newbury, MA. (D. R. Lowell. 1899. The Historic Genealogy of the Lowells of America from 1639-1899) D. R. Lowell (1899) showed seven
      children for Edward and Joanna. Edward Woodman moved to New England and settled at Newbury about 1635, where he was admitted a freeman on 25 May 1636. He was
      conspicuous and active in the affairs of the Newbury Church, and was usually styled "Mr.", thereby indicating his good position in the community. On 8 September 1636 he was chosen the deputy from Newbury to the General Court, and was thereafter frequently the deputy from
      that town. On March 17, 1637 he was a lieutenant of the Newbury company; on 6 September 1638 he was a commissioner to end small causes; and thereafter he frequently held these offices. On 12 January 1637/38 he was licensed to sell strong drink. As his name last appears in the Colonial records on 11 May 1670 as the deputy from Newbury, he
      evidently died not long afterwards. (Moriarty, G. A. English Origins of New England Families)

      Edward came to America on the ship "James", embarking April 6 and arriving June 3, 1635. He settled in Newbury, MA, and was one of the prominent men in the history of that town, representing it several times in the General Court (Genserv mccc6ba database quoting from
      History of Durham, NH) Mercer, merchant, of Malford, England came in the James April 5,
      1635; settled at Newbury; from May 26, 1636. Licensed to sell wine and strong water 12 March, 1637. Applied to aid the magistrates in execution of court decrees 6 (7) 1638. Deputy, town officer; active in church agitation. Either he or his son Edward arranged with John Hull of Newbury for payment of an annuity. He was a wealthy and prominent man; was Lieutenant in a company sent against the Pequods in April, 1637. He and his brother Archelaus d. without issue. Edward was living 1687, but date of d. not known. (Genserv rainre1 database) Genserv jarrell database has birth date as 1614 Marriage Notes: Genserv teague1 database has marriage date as 1628
