Deacon James WOODS [QQ1346] (Lydia³ RICE, Edward², Edmund¹) , born 30 Oct 1694 at Marlborough^{2 {6, 11},3 {p206}}, son of Deacon John WOODS and Lydia RICE. He died 10 Apr 1772, aged 77y (87 per Ward manuscript) at Marlborough^{56,3,1 {p114}}. He was buried at Marlborough, in Spring Hill Cemetery⁵⁶. There is some controversy over the parentage of this James Woods. Ward (p. 114) gives his birth date as 1685 and his parents as Deacon James Woods and Hopestill Ward. The Rice Genealogical Register (p. 6) gives his birth date as 30 October 1694 and his parents as Deacon John Woods and Lydia Rice. Both of these are real persons, as confirmed by the vital records of Marlborough, but obviously only one can be this James. The issue is clouded by the fact that the editors of the published vital records included material from an unpublished manuscript by Ward himself and, in particular, specified the wrong age at death for this Deacon James Woods (i.e., 87 instead of 77). In fact, the age at death was not entered in the original vital records, but it is inscribed on the gravestone, still standing and clearly legible in the Springhill Cemetery in Marlborough. Besides the explicit age at death, we have additional evidence pointing to the 1694 James: Deacon James married his first wife Dorothy Barnes in 1718/9, when the 1685 James would have been unusually old for a first marriage (again, we can be sure it was Deacon James who married Dorothy, since his grave is right next to hers and to that of his second wife Hepzibah). We therefore must conclude that Ward was in error, and the Rice Genealogical Register was correct.^{1 {p114},2 {p6},3 {p206}} He made a will 16 Sep 1769 at Marlborough, mentioning sons David, James, and Jonathan, all sons by deceased wife Dorothy; sons Moses and George; daughters Hepzibah Woods, Dorothy Rice, and Lucy Woods; Aaron Witt son of Sarah of Brookfield; son Moses to be Executor^{20 {docket 25449}}.

He married first, Dorothy BARNES 19 Mar 1718/19 at Marlborough^{2 {6, 11},3 {p332}}. She was born 24 Mar 1697/98 at Marlborough, registered as Doratie^{3,2 {p11},46 {1:18}}, died 10 Nov 1734, aged 36y at Marlborough (under the name Woods)^{56,2 {p11},3 {p403}}, was buried at Marlborough, in Spring Hill Cemetery⁵⁶, daughter of Deacon John BARNES and Hannah HOWE.

He married second, Hephzibah EAGER 20 Jan 1735/36 at Marlborough^{2 {6, 11},3 {p332}}. She was born 4 May 1702 at Marlborough^{3,2 {p11},46 {1:24}}, died 31 Dec 1768, aged 66y at Marlborough (under the name Woods)^{56,1 {p114},2 {p11},3 {p403}}, was buried at Marlborough, in Spring Hill Cemetery⁵⁶, daughter of Zerubbabel EAGER and Hannah KERLEY.
