A Brief History of Woodstock


The town was settled 1686 and was called New Roxbury, after their town in in which the first settlers came from Massachusetts. Like other towns settled by inhabitants of Massachusetts,Woodstock was first under jurisdiction of that state. This was based on a 1713 boundary agreement that was nullified in 1747 because it had never been submitted for English approval, and so in 1749 this town and other son the border were annexed by Connecticut and incorporated by its General Assembly. Today Woodstock is a rural community primarily devoted to dairy farming. Woodstock is also the site of the Old Quasset School, the oldest one room schoolhouse in the United States still in continuous use.

Notes:

Isaac was the eldest son of Captain John (1), and came to this country with his father. He was made a Freeman March 4, 1635. He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1645, and was chosen its Captain in 1667. He was Captain of the Roxbury Company in the Narragansett Expedition, and was killed at the head of his company in the famous Fort Fight on December 19, 1675, (near Four Corners, Sakonnet River, Rhode Island, Ed.). He was an original donor of the Free School.

Illustration caption: (from an old wood cut of the attack on the Indians) Captain Isaac Johnson was Killed in the "Great Swamp Fight" Dec. 19, 1675, "gallantly leading his men across the fatal tree-bridge at the entrance to the Fort".... "the companies of Captain Davenport and Johnson came first to this place.... Johnson fell dead at the log,"... "in the bloodiest battle of Colonial history." (see "Mass. Archives.")

In December, 1636, an act was passed which definitely accomplished this result. One of these included the companies of Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, Weymouth, and Hingham, with John Winthrop as Colonel, Thomas Dudley as Lieutenant Colonel" (and Isaac (2) Johnson as Captain).

SML Comment: The battle took place in South Kingstown, not "near Four Corners, Sakonnet River, Rhode Island" as the author states.

He married Elizabeth Porter, daughter of Adrian Porter & Elizabeth Allott, on Jan 20, 1636/7 in Roxbury, Mass. Died Roxbury, Mass., on 13 Aug 1683.
