Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Finne-83

Judith Finne was baptized at St. Dunstan's, Stepney, Middlesex, England, 12 April 1629, said 7 days old, the daughter of William Finne and his wife, Mary (Charwood) Lofte.[1][2] Judith died at Beverly, Essex County, Massachusetts, 31 October 1702.[3][4]

She married (1) at St. Dunstan's 17 April 1651, William2 Woodbury.[5][6] He was baptized South Petherton, Somersetshire, England, 7 May 1620,[7] and died intestate before 23 January 1667/8 (date of inventory).[8] William Woodbury was the son of William Woodbury, Sr. and his wife, Elizabeth Patch.[9]

On 31 March 1668 the court granted the administration of her late husband's estate to Judith, further ordering that £50 due to three of the children, "given them by their grandmother," was to be paid "at age or marriage." The "younger daughter" was to receive £10 "at the age of eighteen or time of marriage."[10] (It is not known which grandmother left the legacy to William and Judith Woodbury's children. See Research Notes.)

Judith married (2), probably Beverly, after 26 April 1668,[11] as his second or third wife, John Rayment.[12] John survived as her widower, but not long. He died 18 January 1702/3.[13]

Research notes

Frequently mistaken a Glover. Judith is often seen in user-contributed sources as the daughter of Jose Glover (abt.1602-1638), usually by wife Sarah Owfield, sometimes by wife Elizabeth (Harris) (Glover) Dunster, even as the daughter of Jose and his mother, Susan Goodwin. Her association as a Glover has always seemed to lack reliabe sources and sound analysis.

• (1) FindAGrave memorial 13166142 (2022). This memorial was updated in 2022, but for a long time, it reported she was the daughter of Jose and "Susan Goodwin" (who WikiTree shows as Jose's mother), referencing "Information from NEHBR, Vol. 71 and the Patch family website" as well as another graver.
• (2) FamilySearch FamilyTree (PID K4GL-TFD), reports (2021) she is the daughter of Rev. Jose Glover and first wife, Sarah Owfield. Profile includes notes calling her Judith Fine and as Judith (Glover) Fine, suggesting she had a first husband ____ Fine. The PID has 52 attached sources. including a Fine-Woodburry 1651 English marriage record.
• (3) Geni.com (2021) reports Ed "Judith Raymond (Glover)" is the daughter of "Rev. Joseph Glover" and his wife, "Elizabeth Dunster."
• She was not a daughter of Jose by either his first or second wife--(a) Sarah (Owfield) Glover's mother, Thomasine, left a will naming her three Glover grandchildren as Elizabeth Glover, Roger Glover and Sarah Glover; (b) Elizabeth (Harris) (Glover) Dunster was survived by two children--Priscilla (Glover) Appleton and John Glover.

Old notes

Judith was born about 1627, probably in Sutton, Surrey, England. Her parents were Rev. Josse (Jose) and Susan Goodwin Glover of Sutton. Judith Glover was the second wife of William Woodbury. His first wife was Hannah Haskell, but she must have died before they had children. He then married Judith. They had four children, including Judith, probably born at Beverly, Massachusetts. William died in Beverly about 1667. Judith then married John Raymond (1616-1702), on August 20, 1668 in Beverly. Judith died in Beverly on October 31, 1702. It is likely that her resting place is with Raymond, who died around 1699.
