Notes

?1880 census - Living in Sayville, Suffolk Co., NY. Samuel is living only 2 houses from Nelson and Anna Sweezey. I am quite sure Anna is related to this Woodhull family. I believe that Samuel is her Uncle (brother of her mother Mary Woodhull).

Here is Samuel's obit from the 18 Oct 1907 edition of the Suffolk County News:

Samuel Brewster Woodhull died at 12:30 this morning at his old mill pond homestead on North Main street in this village, aged 75 years. The deceased was born in Sayville and was the son of Nathaniel Woodhull, and a relative of Judge Strong, of Setauket. Mr. Woodhull has resided here all of his life and followed the occupation of a carpenter and was much respected by the inhabitants. He is survived by his wife and four married daughters. The funeral services will be held at his late residence on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, the Rev. G. B. Thurston officiating, assisted by the choir of the M.E. Church. Interment will be in the Union Cemetery.
