About Mark Woodbury, Esq.
Mark Woodbury, Esquire
Find A Grave Memorial ID # 152859607
Woodbury was from Beverly Massachusetts; opened the first store at the Woodbury stand, 1794, a little before he became of age; was a large landholder and transacted for many years an extensive business both in trade and agriculture; was justice of the peace and representative; died 1828, aged 52, leaving to his heirs the largest property which had been accumulated in Antrim. He has been succeeded in trade by his sons, Mark B., Levi, and John Boyd Woodbury. His eldest son, Judge Luke Woodbury, attorney at law, for many years judge of probate for the County of Hillsboro' [sic Hillsborough] and at the time of his decease the nominee of the democratic party for the office of Governor, with the fairest prospects of an election, died 1851, aged 51.
The widow of Mark, who was Alice, daughter of Deacon Joseph Boyd, survives, and two daughters reside in town.
Mark Woodbury's aged father, Peter, who had been a seafaring man and his wife, a woman of shrewdness and energy, lived with him many years before their death; she died 1812, he in 1817, aged 79; both sleep in the old burying ground. It is singular that two of their grandchildren, Judge Luke Woodbury of Antrim, New Hampshire and Judge Levi Woodbury of Portsmouth, who were divided in their deaths by an interval of only a few days were at the time prominent candidates, the former for the office of Governor of New Hampshire, and the latter for the office of President of the United States.
