Some sources say he was born in Goffstown; and yet the comment on a photo of the Woodbury family home in Nashua, NH says NASHUA. I have not been able to visit the site.

He married Jerusha Pinot Rust on Dec 24 1800 in Gloucester, MA; they were both 16 years old. The second of their six children,Deacon Seth Woodbury, was the father of Leander Seth Woodbury. Jerusha died in Goffstown in 1840; I have no identified gravesite.
The 1870 census lists Capt Seth as 95.

His parents were Obadiah Woodbury(1741-1786) and Mary Millet Woodbury (b. 1745)


Capt. Seth's parents are NOT Israel and Mehitable Hall Woodbury, as some have pronounced.( Memorial# 7942411 )
The dates of their marriage, 1784,and of her age (b.1764), mean she would have been 11 when Seth was born in 1775, and was not yet married to Israel. (whew!)SSS

Hillside Cemetery was formerly known as Grasmere.
