TABLE OF CONTENTS
SOME DESCENDANTS OF
MATTHEW1 WOODRUFF
OF FARMINGTON, CONNECTICUT
I. Matthew1 Woodruff was born in England
about 1612,(a) and came early to Boston, Massachusetts.
In 1640 or 1641 he settled at Farmington, Connecticut, where he
was one of the original proprietors. He was made a freeman in
1657, and became a member of the church, March 1, 1672. His wife
was Hannah, but where he married her is not known. It is claimed
that they were married in England, but they might have been
married at Farmington. She was admitted to the church in
Farmington, April 2, 1654, and survived his death.(b)
Matthew Woodruff was a man of considerable wealth for his time and
left an estate of £250. A large portion of this property was
bequeathed to his youngest son Samuel, at that time 21 years of
age and unmarried, on condition that he take care of his mother.
Matthew Woodruff's will, noncupative, is dated September 6, 1682,
and was probated December 14 following.(c)
Children of Matthew1 and Hannah
Woodruff:

1692; wife, Sarah; freeman at Farmington, 1671.

(a) This genealogy, compiled by the Editor, is
based on the research of Susan Woodruff Abbott (Mrs. M. W.),
Milford, Conn., and of Mrs. Lila Woodruff, Lincoln, Nebr. It is
published as a memorial to Eugene B. Woodruff (1850-1924), late
the husband of Mrs. Lila Woodruff.

day as his sister Hannah and his brothers, John
(g) The baptisms of the
first ten children are in the records of the Milford First Church,
1735- 1750. There is a break in the record from May 31, 1752, to
March 1, 1767. In the probate record the only document now on file
is the inventory. However, the Baldwin Genealogy, by Charles A.
Baldwin, M. A., (p. 53), gives a synopsis of the will of Capt.
John Woodruff of Milford, dated Apr. 3, 1767, proved 3rd
Monday of March 1768; children, John Woodruff, eldest son; Samuel,
2nd; Enoch; Matthew; Isaac; wife, Sarah; children again, Jonah;
Benjamin; Hannah, wife of Stephen Platt; Abigail, wife of "Fich
Kimberly"; Sarah Woodruff; Susannah Woodruff; Jerusha Woodruff.
The son David is not mentioned in this abstract, but his name
might have been in the original document.

and David (h). He
married, probably in 1751, Anne Nettleton, daughter of Nathan and
Susanna (Plumb) Nettleton of Milford. By 1757 he had settled in
the town of Oxford, Connecticut, for on December 25 of that year
he and his wife were admitted to the church there and on that day
their three oldest sons were baptised. Here he lived until 1772
when he removed to Litchfield. Samuel Woodruff was injured July
17, 1772, while driving his team from Oxford to Litchfield to take
part in a house raising, and died a few hours later.
Children of Samuel and Anne (Nettleton) Woodruff:
i. Anne, b. 1751 or

VI. Andrew6 Woodruff
(Samuel5John 4-3
Matthew2-1) Was born at Oxford, Connecticut,
June 11, 1758. He married at Litchfield, May 19,1777, Miranda
Orton, daughter of Samuel and Ruth (Mason) Orton. They lived many
years at Litchfield(i) where all their children were
born, but in 1805 they joined the migration to central New York
and settled at Triangle, Broome County, where Miranda died Oct.
27, 1831. Andrew Woodruff spent his declining years at Livonia,
where many of his relatives had settled when they left
Connecticut. There he died August 20, 1846.

i. Asenath, b. June
11, 1778; m. Daniel Marsh, Dec 23, 1798.

(h) Attention is called to the correction made
in the line of Samuel Woodruff. The 2nd bequest in the will of
Capt. John Woodruff stated; "I give and bequeath . . . . unto my
second son Samuel besides what 1 have already given him, 50 acres
of land lying in Waterbury bounds, joining the land that was Capt.
Buckinghams." This land was in that part called Oxford and was
near the Waterbury boundary. Samuel settled there and lived until
1772, when he removed to Litchfield. The church records at Oxford,
Connecticut, give:
Samuel and wife Ann are received into
the Oxford Congregational Church, Dec. 25, 1757. (p. 11)
Samuel, Nathan, and Philosebius, baptised Dec. 25, 1757. (p.
21)
June 7, 1772, Samuel and wife Anne recommended to the church in
Litchfield, South Farms. (p. 14)

this was the only Andrew Woodruff near Litchfield of an age to
serve in the Revolution.
