Notes for John WOODRUFFE

There are a number of publications about the Woodruff Family. A major work
is "WOODRUFF CHRONICLES", a genealogy, The Long Island - New Jersey Family of
John Woodruffe the Immigrant Ancestor to America, in two volumes, compiled by
Ceylon Newton Woodruff and Maurine R. Herod, 1971. They comment: "All
investigators of the genealogy of the Woodruffs of Long Island and New Jersey
are indebted to the late Reverend C. Everleigh Woodruff, M.A., of Otterden
Rectory, Faversham, Kent, England, an eminent writer and antiquary and editor
of the notable publication of Kent Archaeological Society, Archaeologia
Cantiana, for the record of the early family in England. The results of the
Reverend Mr. Woodruff's researches are to be found in his Memorials of the
Family of Woodruff, 1899, and his History of the Town and Port of Fordwich,
1895. Equal credit and thanks are due to Francis Eben Woodruff, A.B., Yale,
1864, for his extensive and careful investigation of the family, contained in
his A Branch of the Woodruff Stock (Morristown, N.J., 1902) and his augmented
and corrected account Woodruffs of New Jersey (Grafton Press, New York, 1909).
Most of the information included herein, pertaining to England and the
migration to Southampton, Long Island, is based on the published researches of
these two genealogists. . . ." Harman R. Clark, Jr., had the opportunity to
visit the Village of Fordwich in November, 1989, and found the Church of St.
Mary the Virgin, much the same as depicted by Rev. C. Everleigh Woodruff, in
his History of Fordwich, 1895, as reprinted in the Woodruff Chronicles.
