Hopestill Woods

HOPESTILL (HATHAWAY) WOODS / Circa 1694 - Circa 1731

Daughter of Isaac Hathaway (1652 - 1722) and Mary (Pitts) Hathaway (1668 - 1727). Hopestill Hathaway was born circa 1694 in Berkley (now Bristol County), Massachusetts.

Hopestill Hathaway married Richard Woods (Sr.) in Bristol County, Massachusetts. Extrapolating from the birth date of their eldest child, Abigail, a marriage year of 1720 is suggested. Richard and Hopestill (Hathaway) Woods were parents to at least four children -- 1.) Abigail Woods, 1721 - 1785, 2.) Richard Woods (Jr.) / 1723 - 1756, 3.) Hopestill Woods / 1725 - ????, 4.) Christopher Woods / 1731 - 1731

Per this profile, Hopestill (Hathaway) Woods passed away on August 15, 1729 in Taunton (Bristol County), Massachusetts. There is no documentation, extant or emergent, that supports this death date. The four children of Richard Woods, Sr. and Hopestill (Hathaway) Woods identified in this profile are all well documented in "Massachusetts Births & Christenings", with the parents clearly identified as Richard Woods and Hopestill / Hopstill Woods. Thus, Hopestill Woods was alive for at least two years after the death date referenced in this profile, suggesting that she may have died during the birth of Christopher Wood or as a result of post partum complications.
