About Deacon James Wood
Judi (Judirig@aol.com) . ." discovered an error in Hudson's History of the Town of Marlborough. He lists the James Woods that married Dorothy Barnes and Hepzibah Eager as the son of James Woods and Hopestill Ward. Not possible.
When James and Hopestill both died in 1718, they left no living issue. I have both their probate packets. James estate was divided up between his brother Isaac and the heirs of his other brothers and sisters.
I also got the probate packet for John Woods who married Lydia Rice. Guess what - his son James is the one who married Dorothy and Hepzibah. James signed off on the estate of his father John, and the signature matches the signature on James Woods (husband of Dorothy and Hepzibah) will. The vital records show that John and Lydia had a son James born 1694. If he married Dorothy 1718 he would have been 24 at the time."
He was a deacon. This family is documented to the left in the family tree.
John was a man of some prominence and was elected deacon of Mr. Brinisinead's church in 1704.
Hudson's History of the Town of Marlborough shows James as the father of James. See note under this John Woods brother James.
