Thomas Hart, son of Thomas hart was its second Deacon. A curios relationship existed between him and his children, for he married as his second wife, June 26, 1707, Mary, dau. of Sergt. Samuel Seymour; while his son Phinehas, married her sister; his daughter Susannah, married her brother, so he became a brother-in-law to two of his children. In his will, Deacon Anthony Judd names his wife Mary, his two daughters, viz: Lydia, wife of John Cole and Susannah relict of Samuel Seymour dec'd, and his three sons, Amos, Phinehas, and John.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Fact: Dau. of Anthony Howkins of Farmington, conn.

Notes:

Name:
Freeman, 1664; he was an extensive land-owner, "Supposed by some to be son of Thomas, of Hartford, without any evidence to sustain the conjecture and against the presumption to be derived from the will of Thomas." (Savage, 4, p. 638.) Savage thinks he may have been born inEngland. At the Oct. session 1663 of the General Assembly, Joseph Woodford was named among those who were "to stand at the Court in May next for their freedome." At that session the record reads, "this court orders...that those of Farmington have the oath of Freedom administered to them by Mr. Howkins; This Court having accepted of the persons presented by the Deputies of the aforesaid towns, as freeman." Undoubtedly he was at this session made Freeman. His death does not appear to have been recorded; the fact that he made his will in 1701 has led writers to state that he died that year; that such an inference is wrong is shown by the heading to the inventory of his estate, dated Oct 25, 1710:--
"An inventory of the estate of Joseph Woodford Senier of farmington Latly deseased is as follows".

Joseph married Rebecca NEWELL. Rebecca (daughter of Thomas NEWELL and Rebecca OLMSTEAD) was born about 1643; died before 29 Mar 1700. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
Probably died before mar 29, 1700, as she is not mentioned in the will of her husband. On Mar 29, 1700, Joseph Woodford conveyed some land to his "Well beloved Daughter Hannah more especially for her Reward for her Love, Laber & Care to her mother in her sore and long sorrow." Mr. Starr thinks this refers to her mother's last illness. (Farmington Land Rec., 3, p. 160.)
