Listers,
According to earlier Woodlief research by Eliz. Ann
Taylor Kerman, Capt. John Woodlief (of Prestwood,
Buckinghamshire,and later of VA) married on 01 May
1609 in Steventon, Berkshire, to Mary ARCHARD.
Does anyone know the basis for the assumption that the
John Woodlief who married in Steventon, Berkshire, is
one and the same as the Capt John Woodlief of
Prestwood, Buckinghamshire and (later) Virginia?
I've not run across any evidence to link the two and

Has anyone located the WILL of Nicholas Woodliffe of
Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, who died ca 1510??
I have TWO references to Nicholas, but have had no

Woodliffe of Virginia through his mother, Anne Drury"
which states (Chart 1 #27):

Well, that would be a "basis" - i.e., if we knew Capt.
John's wife was named Mary (at the very least; better
still that we knew her name was Mary Archard) AND if
we knew she hailed from Steventon parish over in
Berkshire. ;-)
But to the best of my knowledge, we don't know any of
those things.
So I'm back to the original question.....on what BASIS
- or by what logic - has it been "assumed" that the
John Woodleffe who married in May 1609 over in
Berkshire is the SAME John Woodleffe of Prestwood,
Buckinghams
Generally, people marry in the wife's home church. Why could this not
be the case?
