Note
Humphrey Woodbury is supposed to have been a grandson of John who came from Somersetshire England for the Dorchester adventurers and was one of the first English occupants of our territory. The latter had a son Humphrey who was undoubtedly the same person to whom by his wife Elizabeth our Humphrey was born in Salem in 1646. He became a citizen of Beverly by the separation of that town from Salem and there married Ann Winder Jan 8 1671. The first mention we have of him in Gloucester is in 1677 when he purchased land on Biskie Island of Joseph Clark. He came into possession of other lots on that island and built a house there which was his residence probably at the time of his death. He died April 9 1727 aged eighty, his wife died Feb 28 1728 aged seventy five. His children baptized in Beverly were Bethia 1672, Abigail 1674, Humphrey 1677 died in 1695, Anna 1680, Nehemiah 1686, Abel 1688, Nathan 1691 and Israel 1693. The births of Elizabeth 1682, of Nathaniel 1684, of Susanna 1695, and of Humphrey 1698 are recorded in Gloucester. _______

++++++++++++++++++++++
Humphrey Woodbury It is difficult to imagine the inducement by which this settler was let to exchange the fertile soil of Beverly for the rocky island in Annisquam river where he seems to have spent the latter half of a long life. Biskie, now called Rust’s Island is mentioned in the early records, and grants of land on it were made soon after the settlement of the town, but nobody is known to have lived there before Humphrey Woodbury had his home upon it. An old cellar still to be seen there was probably once covered by his house. March 15, 1686 the town voted ‘that the common upon Biskie Island is reserved to put the rams upon and to wean calfs if need be.’ Woodbury must have been already there; for the birth of his daughter, Elizabeth July 30, 1682 is in our records.
