Brief biography

John (1) Woodhurst was born around mid-1828 to parents William (3) Woodhurst and his first wife Mary, probably in Milton near Sittingbourne. There appears to be no christening record for him.

A Family Bible possessed by an American descendant of William (3)'s son Daniel records that Daniel had a sibling John who died in infancy, and the Parish Register for Milton records a burial there on June 24th 1828 of a John "Wooders" aged "1 month". Moreover, the same "Wooders" spelling was used in that register to record the burial there two years previously of Daniel's brother Matthew (2) whose death in infancy is also recorded in this Bible.
