notes

From William Johnston, 1648-1719, Isle of Wight, VA

William Johnson appears in the records as the father of an illegitimate child, named Jane, by Philarete Woodward, daughter of Colonel Thomas Woodward (1604-1677), first Surveyor-General of the Carolina Colony.

From "The Woodward Family Tree - Thomas Woodward of England"...

Thomas Woodward, Sr. left a daughter Philarite Woodward who married John Giles. There are a number of later records for the Giles descendants that seem to suggest a connection between their family and Samuel Woodward of Chowan Co. Other records suggest a connection to William Woodward of Isle of Wight and the Smelly descendants of Thomas Giles, either the son or brother of John Giles. Before her marriage to John Giles, Philarite Woodward produced an illegitimate daughter by William Johnston, Sr. of Isle of Wight. Other descendants of the same William Johnston by his wife Sarah Griffith were later closely associated with descendants of Oliver Woodward, Sr. of Isle of Wight. Although these clues suggest that these later Woodwards may have descended from Thomas Woodward, Sr., proving any descendants will be difficult or impossible.
