"Richard Woodward was admitted as a freeman in Watertown, Mass on 2 Sep
1635, and was listed as among the earliest of the proprietors. By 1642, he
had a ‘homestall of twelve acres,’ in addition to being a grantee of nine
additional acres. It also says he had, by 1644, a total of 360 acres, which
were in what is now Boston. Ten acres were transferred to his son, George.
Thirty-nine acres at Little Plain were sold to John Whitney (whose grandson
would subsequently marry Richard’s granddaughter.)" On 8 Sep 1648,
Richard Woodward, by then in Boston, purchased a Boston mill from a Holbrook
family, selling it to William Aspinwall on 26 Dec 1648. Land that he once
owned was later to be Lot 42 of Stoney Brook. Watertown, the place of
settlement in America for the Woodward’s, is now a suburb to the northwest
