| 'A History of Northumberland' (vol 9, H.H.E. Craster, 1909, 'Whitchester of Seaton Delaval and Benwell', p147+) which identifies the following John as "a young lawyer, John Woodman, alias Horsley. The name of Woodman or Wodman is met with as a family of sufficient antiquity but little note in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Some of its members appear to have settled in the neighbourhood of Hexham, where John Woodman, a mason by trade, held some property at the close of the fourteenth century. John Woodman, junior, the mason's son, added to his paternal inheritance by the acquisition of a house and a few acres of land in Horsley, in the parish of Ovingham, and on the strength of this transaction, exchanged his surname for that of Horsley". | |||||||||||||||
