“Corrections of the Woodhull Genealogy" Donald Lines Jacobus TAG v13p77 (Oct 1936)

Jacobus makes a strong case that the wife of this Richard Woodhull was Dorothy Howell and not Deborah Crewe, as some sources argue.

(A deed of Indian lands was granted to Richard Wodhull by the Sachems

Mentauk and Woneco, 20 Jul 1657. Several other land transactions between

the town of Brookhaven and Richard are also recorded. The earliest of these

I presume to be with the elder immigrant Richard, the later with his son.)

Setauket Harbor, then called Cromwell Bay, or Ashford, in the year

1656...The exact date of his death is uncertain, it, however, must have

been after October, 1690..."

The article "Descendants of Richard Woodhull" provides the information that the wife of Richard Woodhull appears as Dorothy on a deed dated 6 April 1664. Effingham P. Humphrey Jr., shows that the problem of Richard Woodhull's previously unidentified wife Dorothy and the later history of Edward Howell's daughter Dorothy is resolved by the proposal that they are the same individual. The identification of their children is provided in the Hoff article.

Origins

THE WOODHULL FAMILY IN AMERICA.

The Woodhulls in America are the descendants of Richard Wodhull I., who was born, probably, at Thenford, Northamptonshire, England, September 13, 1620. (See Benjamin F. Thompson's "History of Long Island," also "American Ancestry," and many other references.)

The date of Richard Wodhull's marriage, and his wife Deborah's surname are uncertain. The tombstones of Richard Wodhull I., and Richard Wodhull II., with those of their wives, were ruthlessly destroyed during the Revolutionary War. The original Family Bible is also missing, the oldest obtainable, being that of Richard IV., who was born in the year 1712.

It is strongly believed by some that Richard Wodhull I., married Deborah Crewe. According to Dr. Samuel Johnson, first President King's College, in a letter to his son in the year 1757, Richard Wodhull II., was "cousin german by his mother, to Lord Crewe, father of the Bishop of Durham, whose niece was mother to the present Earl of Walgrave or Waldgrave."

This seems for several reasons highly possible, but so far, it has been impossible to secure access to the private pedigrees of the Crewe family.

The Crewe motto "Sequor nec Inferior" was adopted by the Woodhull family and, as will be seen further on, the families of Crewe and Wodhull were intimately associated as friends and kinsmen. (See Beardsley's "Life and Letters of Dr. Samuel Johnson, First President of King's College.")
