From Edward Broderick's unpublished diary,...
"Friday 20th.
We called and had dinner at Wm. Watters who married John Woodward's sister Nanny. She made us each a glass of punch and we sat by the first log-fire which was blazing finely, that I have seen. We had a good dinner, they were making soap, the women were. Wm Watters suffers from asthma and is far from well. He has a good farm. John Woodward's farm joins on to it. They are both good ones. The land is uneven but most of it can be ploughed. It is mostly in grass however and is very good land. Thomas Woodward has bought a part of it and rents the other part of his father. We called there and looked around, then started for home and got there in time for supper and found Mrs. Woodward and their daughter Bessie quite well."..........Emigrated to America in 1833. Settled in Sharon, Medina Co., Ohio
Obituary in The Medina County Gazette - May 14, 1880, p.3 - The funeral of John Woodward was attended last Sunday by a large concourse of people at Sharon Center. In the death of John Woodward we have lost one of our oldest and best citizens. He was an early settler, having helped to make up what is called the English Settlement.Research 1870 Census - Sharon Twp., Medina Co., Ohio
