ichard Woodward of Chester County, Pennsylvania was probably born in Acton Parish, Cheshire, England in about 1636. He is believed to have immigrated to America with his brother Robert and sister Elizabeth. Some of the children of both Richard and Robert accompanied them. They arrived in Chester County before 1687 when Richard purchased land in Thornbury, Chester County, as is found in court records. The surname of Richard's wife Jane is not known although several have been suggested. Many of Richard and Jane's descendants were Quakers and their records helped prove
numerous family relationships. In about 1765, some descendants left Chester County for North Carolina. Ultimately, descendants from North Carolina and Tennessee moved north to Indiana, meeting up with other Woodwards from Chester County who had migrated directly to western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and then to Indiana. From Indiana they continued west and today are found in various western states. Many also remained in Chester and Delaware Counties, Pennsylvania. Source: Nadine Holder.
