Hello Nancy -
I was interested in your post and in particular Woodbury/Woodberry. I have
many Woodberrys who married into my WEST family. I'd like to have more
Woodberry info since I descend directly, and there are so many, I'd like to
know how they all go together! Looking for any input and perhaps this will
help you and others. All the info comes from handwritten VRs from Beverly MA.

Children of Thomas West and Elisabeth Jackson:

Elisabeth b.1663 m. Joseph Woodberry 1687
Mary b. 1665
Hannah b.1667
John b. 1669
Ruth b. 1672 m. Wm Haskell 1689
Mary b. 1676 m. Robert Woodberry 1693
Samuel b. 1676 m. Mary Norton 1701
One of their's: John b. 1704 m. Ruth Woodberry 1724
Hannah b. 1678
Thomas b. 1683 m. Christian Woodberry 1702. Their children:

Mary b. 1704 m. Israel Ober 1725
Thomas b. 1707 m. Mary Herrick 1730 Their Children:

Wilkes b. 1740 m. Phebe Dearborn 1762; Hannah Forsythe/Forsaith 1783
Henry b. 1736
Christian b. 1732 m. Andrew Day 1753
Jackson b. 1742 m. Anna Foster 1773 Their children: total of 10, listing
only those marrying Woodberrys:

Anna b. 1775 m. Richard Woodberry 1796
Rebecca b. 1782 m. Elliott Woodberry 1809
Thomas b. 1789 m. Polly Woodberry abt 1811

The record also shows a John West marrying Priscilla Woodberry 1801 with
children John, Joanna, Andew, Benjamin, Luther. I don't know how this John
fits into this West family or if in fact he does.

Any comments, corrections welcome. Thanks!

Gail
