From Genealogical Gleaning in England":

"John Woodbury of Beverly in New England, mariner, but now resident on his Majesty's Ship "Crown" Aug. 4, 1672, for the remainder of the moneys, it is my will that my wife Elizabeth Woodbury shall have and enjoy, and be sent to her by the first opportunity into New England. I give and bequeath to my said wife, all books and sea instruments which I have now in my chest, and also a cloth coat, which by my will, may also be sent to my wife by the first conveyance."

'Indenture...betweene John Woodbery of Salem in New England, marrenor, of the onr pt & John Williams of the citty of Bristoll, march't, of ye other pt witnesseth: that the said John Woodbery, for...ye sume of Sixty pounds eighteene shillings...hath sett over unto ye said John Williams...all ye piece or p'cell of land or wood ground, containing by estimation forty acres...scittuat...neere Basse river...and adjoineth to certaine lands & Heridittaments of Benjamin Balch of Salem husbandman on the east side & certaine other lands in ye possession & occupation of Henry Herricke on the west side...from the date hearof for & dureing the full time & terme of one thousand yeares...paying therefore...the yearly rent of one penny, at the feast of St Michaell the Arch Angell...p'vided...that the said John Woodbery doe pay or cause to be paid unto the said John Williams the full sume of sixty four pounds ten shillings at or upon the first day of Maye which shal be in ye yeare of our Lord God one thousand Six hundred seaventy & one, at the comon place of audience, caled the Tolsey of Bristoll, scittuat in Corne Street...according to ye condicon of one obligation bearing even date with these pr'sents, wherein he ye said John Woodbery is become bound to ye said John Williams, in ye penal sume of one hundred & twenty pounds...'
