  • Name Matthew WOODRUFF  [1
    • It is probable that he came from Essex, England. Woodruff is an old family name in that shire and many of his friends and neighbors in Hartford and Farmington came from there. He was an original proprietor of Farmington, where he was Freeman in 1657. Ten of his descendants in the male line are in the Yale list of graduates between 1779 and 1836, inc. (Savage 4, p. 643.) The inventory of his estate was taken by Thomas Hart, Thomas Porter and Richard "Seamore", Townsmen of Farmington. [1]
