disputed origins

Woodhull Genealogy: The Woodhull Family in England and America page 53 & 301 link names Temperance Fordham as Richard Wodhull's wife (married 1680).

However ...

From http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/WOODHULL/2013-06/1371...

"... subsequent research by Donald Lines Jacobus, Herbert Seversmith, Henry Hoff and Effingham Humphrey has proven that the book got the wives of the first three Richard Woodhulls all wrong.

The first one's wife was named Dorothy, not Deborah. Effingham Humphrey has presented good reason to believe she was Dorothy, d/o Edward and Frances Howell ["Dorothie Howell Rediviva", TAG, 1979, 55:178-81].

Henry Hoff's article "The Descendants of Richard Howell"
[The Genealogist, Fall 1981, 2/2: 197-227] cites Southampton Town Records, vol. 2, p. 242, to prove Richard Woodhull Jr. married Temperance Topping.. The article by Henry Hoff says Temperance was prob. a daughter of John and Sarah (White) Topping, but poss. a niece.

Temperance who married Richard Woodhull I was the daughter of John Topping and Sarah White. She was NOT a Fordham. Jonas Fordham and Hester Topping or Jonas's first wife Maria did NOT have a daughter named Temperance. Their children were Keziah, Hannah, Josiah and Jonah. longislandgenealogy.com Also see "One Branch of the Miner Family: with Extensive Notes on the Wood, Lounsberry, Rogers and Fifty Other Allied Families of Connecticut and Long Island" by Lillian Selleck

Josiah Fordham; this was Richard's wife according to the Autobiography of Aaron Kilbourn, 1885, and the History of Long Island and The Early Hisgtory of Southampton, 1887]
