Abstract:
Thomas Woodard, a native of England, left there during the political upheaval of the death of Charles I and settled in Virginia. Woodard served as Isle of Wight Clerk of Court from 1656-1662. In 1663, he was appointed the surveyor to lay off the first Land Grants of Sir William Berkeley in the Albemarle region of North Carolina. While living in North Carolina, Woodard was appointed Surveyor General of North Carolina, served as secretary of the North Carolina colony and was a member of the Governor’s Council. He eventually returned to Isle of Wight County, VA where he died in 1676.
