THERE IS STILL FURTHER RESEARCH TO DO - Whether Thomas Woods was the father of Mary Carlton's illegitimate son, Philip, is not clear. Thomas Woods had been a widower for a year when Mary gave birth to Philip, but he didn't marry her until five years later. Thomas Woods had been baptised at Beeston and had married Amy Watts on 12th of November 1637. She was buried in 1668. Four children born to them have been found: Mary Woods 1639, Ann Woods 1642, William Woods 1645 and John Woods 1649.
