Joseph WOODFORD [1, 2] |
- 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". [1]
