SOME DESCENDANTS OF MATTHEW1 WOODRUFF
OF FARMINGTON, CONNECTICUT

  I. Matthew1 Woodruff was born in England about 1612,(a) and came early to Boston, Massachusetts. In 1640 or 1641 he settled at Farmington, Connecticut, where he was one of the original proprietors. He was made a freeman in 1657, and became a member of the church, March 1, 1672. His wife was Hannah, but where he married her is not known. It is claimed that they were married in England, but they might have been married at Farmington. She was admitted to the church in Farmington, April 2, 1654, and survived his death.(b) Matthew Woodruff was a man of considerable wealth for his time and left an estate of £250. A large portion of this property was bequeathed to his youngest son Samuel, at that time 21 years of age and unmarried, on condition that he take care of his mother. Matthew Woodruff's will, noncupative, is dated September 6, 1682, and was probated December 14 following.(c)

   (g) The baptisms of the first ten children are in the records of the Milford First Church, 1735- 1750. There is a break in the record from May 31, 1752, to March 1, 1767. In the probate record the only document now on file is the inventory. However, the Baldwin Genealogy, by Charles A. Baldwin, M. A., (p. 53), gives a synopsis of the will of Capt. John Woodruff of Milford, dated Apr. 3, 1767, proved 3rd Monday of March 1768; children, John Woodruff, eldest son; Samuel, 2nd; Enoch; Matthew; Isaac; wife, Sarah; children again, Jonah; Benjamin; Hannah, wife of Stephen Platt; Abigail, wife of "Fich Kimberly"; Sarah Woodruff; Susannah Woodruff; Jerusha Woodruff. The son David is not mentioned in this abstract, but his name might have been in the original document.

and David (h). He married, probably in 1751, Anne Nettleton, daughter of Nathan and Susanna (Plumb) Nettleton of Milford. By 1757 he had settled in the town of Oxford, Connecticut, for on December 25 of that year he and his wife were admitted to the church there and on that day their three oldest sons were baptised. Here he lived until 1772 when he removed to Litchfield. Samuel Woodruff was injured July 17, 1772, while driving his team from Oxford to Litchfield to take part in a house raising, and died a few hours later. Children of Samuel and Anne (Nettleton) Woodruff:
       i. Anne, b. 1751 or 1752; m. Aug. 11, 1768, Jeremiah Riggs (b. July 1, 1750).
      ii. Samuel, b. about 1753; m. ----- Blanchard.
     iii. Nathan, b. about 17515; m. Sarah or Charity -----; settled at Livonia, N. Y., 1801.
     iv. Philosebius (called Philo), b. about 1757; m. Hulda Orton, Nov. 3, 1779, Litchfield, Conn.
6.   v. Andrew, b. June 11, 1758; bapt. Oxford, Conn., Feb. 18, 1759.
     vi. John, bapt. Dec. 11, 1761; died 1825, Torrington, Conn.; m. Sally E. DeForest.

VI. Andrew6 Woodruff (Samuel5John 4-3 Matthew2-1) Was born at Oxford, Connecticut, June 11, 1758. He married at Litchfield, May 19,1777, Miranda Orton, daughter of Samuel and Ruth (Mason) Orton. They lived many years at Litchfield(i) where all their children were born, but in 1805 they joined the migration to central New York and settled at Triangle, Broome County, where Miranda died Oct. 27, 1831. Andrew Woodruff spent his declining years at Livonia, where many of his relatives had settled when they left Connecticut. There he died August 20, 1846.

Children of Andrew and Miranda (Orton) Woodruff:
       i. Asenath, b. June 11, 1778; m. Daniel Marsh, Dec 23, 1798.
      ii. Olive, b. Dec. 9, 1779; m. Stephen Sanford, Jan. 20, 1799; d. 1861 Livonia, N. Y.


   (h) Attention is called to the correction made in the line of Samuel Woodruff. The 2nd bequest in the will of Capt. John Woodruff stated; "I give and bequeath . . . . unto my second son Samuel besides what 1 have already given him, 50 acres of land lying in Waterbury bounds, joining the land that was Capt. Buckinghams." This land was in that part called Oxford and was near the Waterbury boundary. Samuel settled there and lived until 1772, when he removed to Litchfield. The church records at Oxford, Connecticut, give:

Samuel and wife Ann are received into the Oxford Congregational Church, Dec. 25, 1757. (p. 11)
Samuel, Nathan, and Philosebius, baptised Dec. 25, 1757. (p. 21)
June 7, 1772, Samuel and wife Anne recommended to the church in Litchfield, South Farms. (p. 14)

  (i) An Andrew Woodruff is given as serving in the Revolution from Litchfield, Connecticut. Apparently this was the only Andrew Woodruff near Litchfield of an age to serve in the Revolution.
