• Notes

  When Anthony Woodhull was born in 1518, in Warkworth, Northumberland, England his father, Nicholas Wodhull, was 36 and his mother, Mary Raleigh, was 31. He married Anne Smith in 1540, in England. They were the parents of at least 1 daughter. He died on 24 February 1542, in his hometown, at the age of 24. His will, dated 1 Feb 1541 and proved 11 Oct 1542 made bequests to his sisters Joyce, Mary, and Anne, his brother Fulk and his uncles Lawrence and Thomas -FamilySearch [2, 4] (Research):Warkworth is a village in Northumberland, England situated in a loop of the River Coquet, about 1.6 km from the Northumberland coast. It is 48 km north of Newcastle, and about 64 km south of the Scottish border. An ancient bridge of two arches crosses the river at Warkworth, with a fortified gateway on the road mounting to the well-preserved medieval castle, church and hermitage. Warkworth Castle was originally constructed as a wooden fortress, some time after the Norman Conquest. It was later ceded to the Percy family, who held it, and resided there on and off (dependent on the state of their often stormy relationship with the royalty of the time) until the 16th century. During this period the castle was rebuilt with sandstone curtain walls and greatly reinforced. The imposing keep, overlooking the village of Warkworth was added during the late 14th century. It was refurbished, with much refaced stonework, by the Dukes of Northumberland in the late 19th century. The castle formed the backdrop for several scenes in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2.
