John Woods born February 6, 1609/10 at Suffolk County, England

Son of James WOODS.

John, a pin-maker by trade, arrived in America at age 26 in 1635 aboard the 'Hopewell,' and first settled at Salem, Massachusetts, but removed to Sudbury, Massachusetts by 1638, becoming a proprietor there in 1639.

He married Mary Parmenter about 1633.

He was admitted freeman on May 10, 1642, and received several Sudbury land grants through 1655.

After Marlborough was formed in 1660, John sold his property at Sudbury and relocated to Marlborough, where he had been granted land and served in various town offices.

On April 4, 1664, he deposed that he was about age 54. His will, dated November 26, 1677 and proved October 1, 1678, names his wife Mary, his three sons, daughter Katherine, son-in-law John BELLOWS, and grandchild Hannah LEVINS.

The inventory of his estate, on July 19, 1678 at £303.03.07, mentions son-in-law Joseph NEWTON.
