Addionally, Boddie mentioned this Thomas Woodward as official surveyor of Carolina Colony in his Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight, page 127:<blockquote> Thomas Woodward, clerk of Isle of Wight County from 1652 to 1662, and heretofore mentioned as a fiery Royalist, was the surveyor for Governor Berkeley’s grants to these first colonists. The colony consisted of twenty-seven families and 447 servants. Woodward obtained three large grants for himself and his family. The total number of acres patented were approximately 29,000 and out of this Woodward surveyed 5,250 acres for himself, so he must have had faith in the colony.  While in Carolina Woodward served as secretary for the colony, member of the Governor’s Council, and together with Governor Drummond, was Commissioner to treat with Maryland and Virginia for a cessation of tobacco planting.</blockquote>
