The life of Julia F. Woodward Chamberlain
Biography
Julia Woodward, whose middle initial varies among family sources, was born on September 24, 1819 into Tilly Woodward and Marinda Wight’s large family at Sturbridge, in southern Massachusetts near the Connecticut border. The Wight genealogy identifies her marriage to Calvin G. Chamberlain of Worcester, also in Massachusetts. Other family sources place that marriage in 1838.
Julia’s children were born across several Massachusetts communities. Her household included William Tyler, Caroline Amelia, James Wing, Mary Jane, and Frank Peabody, as well as Charles and Elizabeth, who died in early childhood. Charles died in 1843 and Elizabeth in 1848.
Calvin died in 1869. Julia lived until May 17, 1901, when her memorial records her death at Albany, New York. Her burial was in the family plot at Hope Cemetery in Worcester.
