Notes for Thomas Woodward:
He was a very ingenious mechanic and nice workman; was the original
manufacturer of the celebrated 'Woodward Awls' and other improved shoe
tools. The original invention or suggestion of 'Emerson's Elastic
Razor Straps' has been credited to him. He was an honest,
industrious, and kind-hearted man, but possessed some peculiarities of
character; he had an inquiring and rather credulous mind; any new
idea, either in physics, physic, or ethics, he was ever ready to
adopt, and if he thought it valuable, he was disposed to pursue it
with great sincerity and pertinancity of purpose; hence we find him
ever trying some newly invented pills or cordial, making a 'Tincture'
that became and still continues a popular medicine, became an
anti-Mason and aboloitionist of the most approved patterns, and an
honest and sincere believer in Millerism. He was however, a useful
citizen; lived to be aged and his body outlived his mind. (Eaton,
Genealogical History of Reading)

After their marriage, he purchased and removed to a farm in Canaan,

years old, he was afflicted with an inflammation of the eyes, which
resulted in total blindness. He was broad in his religious belief,
intelligent, and genial with his associates. He kept up his interest
