Title:
Woodward's of Vermont-Quebec
Publication Date:
August 29th, 2001
Article:
In Vermont there were Woodward's in Deweysburg, Vermont which is now West Danville, Vermont and just northward of Peacham, Vermont. These Woodward's came from Smithfield, Rhode Island in abt. 1780-1782. one of these Woodward brothers Apollos Woodward married a Rachel Reynolds in Danville, Vermont and had whom I believe were two sons Royal on May 22nd, 1803 and Parker Preston Woodward in 1804. Apollos their father after fighting in the War of 1812 abandoned his family by Rachel and headed westwardly ending up in Michigan. His wife Rachel in her endeavors could not raise her children alone so she endentured most of them out to citizens of the community to help bring in money for her family. Three ran away ending up in Sheffield, Quebec. and the other two were taken into the home of their Uncle Darius Woodward. Parker was claimed to be Darius's son in 1824 only because he was of age and ready to marry. Darius Woodward, his Uncle didn't want to carry "his son" Parkers debts so legally he gave Parker 'his time' and therefore Parker could legally carry his own debts and also marry. Of which he did. To Sarah P. Sawyer. They in 1840 were living with his brother (or next to him) in Walden, Vermont. In 1850 Parker and Sarah left Vermont and ended up in Fitch Bay, Quebec wehre they got some land from Mr. Winn in May of 1850. Royal Woodward and Mary Sawyer-Woodward stay on the Walden Farm until Oct 1879 and they then left for Phillipsburg, Kansas with their son Alonzo John Woodward and his family; etc. Parker Preston Woodward and his wife were parents of Darius, Flora Ella & Ellen (twins), Benjamin Sawyer Woodward etc. Darius and Flora Ella were both said to be of Indian descend and there is some material that would indicate that this was so. Hopefully there someone out there that are descendants of Parker, Royal, Flora Darius or anyone else of this lineage in Vermont and/or Quebec that can share some further information/foundation to this Native ancestry in the Woodward family; etc.
